Gitlab Experience was really good
Different types of runners is such a feasible option to integrate.
Very helpful for code sharing with team
Optimize coding processes with efficient CI/CD while exploring AI integration
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The CI/CD process is very efficient. We are utilizing the pipelines extensively and gaining significant benefits from GitLab.
What needs improvement?
We are not using the AI process yet, however, I would like to see AI support in GitLab. Maybe it already does. I am not sure how it supports AI processes.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using GitLab for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
GitLab supports us very well.
How are customer service and support?
We do not have any direct technical support from GitLab. We ask questions to our IT department, and they may seek external support if needed.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup was handled by our IT department.
What was our ROI?
GitLab is a cost-saving tool and is particularly effective for coding processes.
What other advice do I have?
I do not have any recommendations or suggestions. I rate GitLab a ten out of ten.
Version management software for developers
2. We can manage our code of project into gitlab. We can manage our code by creating branch like master, staging, develop, feature and etc.
3. It is a version control software.
4. It is a open source software and easy to implementation. It can be used for DevOps.
5. We can do any integration into gitlab like CI/CD.
6. Many companies are mostly used this software for managing their code and documents as well.
7. This platform is very secure for security and we can track our project.
2. There are some command facing issue like merge conflict.
3. We need some public repository on gitlab but unfortunatly it is not present in gitlab.
With GitLab, we can easily access all our code by using branches and previous commits. This is because GitLab is a version control tool, which is not only reliable but also user-friendly for DevOps teams.
DevOps Platform With A Wide Range Of Useful Tools.
Boosted productivity with automated pipelines and seamless collaboration
What is our primary use case?
I use GitLab to manage our development lifecycle. We use it to store code and automate our CI/CD pipeline. Once developers commit their code, the CI/CD pipeline automatically starts, supporting development through various stages. It is part of our software development life cycle.
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files. Improvements could be made regarding size management and file partitioning.
Also, the UI has remained the same for a couple of years and could benefit from an update with AI features and better customization.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GitLab for three or four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not encountered any performance or stability issues with GitLab so far. It has remained stable and reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
GitLab is scalable as multiple users can simultaneously access it without issues.
How are customer service and support?
We have rarely needed to escalate issues to technical support since GitLab usually runs seamlessly. Occasionally, issues might arise if the URL isn't up or due to server problems.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have worked with Bitbucket. In comparison, GitLab is more advanced, particularly in terms of cloud capabilities.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up GitLab is smooth and straightforward. There is no complexity as long as you're familiar with the basics. A simple code can be reused, facilitating easy installation and use.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
GitLab is mostly free, with potential costs arising from upgrade versions. There is a trial period of about six months during which it is free. Afterward, fees apply.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
I recommend GitLab for DevOps engineers. It is easy and fast to use. While Jenkins is also good for understanding, GitLab offers an easier user experience. I rate GitLab as ten on a scale of one to ten.
