Gaurav Chandel

AWS DevOps/ Site Reliability Engineer at Tata Consultancy

Boosted productivity with automated pipelines and seamless collaboration

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.

DevOps Team Leader at Elbit Systems Ltd

Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company

We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place."

"In our software development lifecycle, GitLab is used as a component for code repository management. We use GitLab for several projects to handle code repositories. For other software projects, we use Bitbucket, but the use case for both is very similar."

"GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need."

"The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."

"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."

"Continuous integration with deployment is very powerful, which is a significant reason for migrating from TFS to GitLab."

"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."

"GitLab is scalable and works well with multiple environments."

More GitLab pros

"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."

Cons

"I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment."

"This solution could be improved by adding modifications such as slack notifications."

"The price of GitLab could improve, it is high."

"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."

"The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."

"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."

"Their RBAC is role-based access, which is fine but not very good."

"The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required."

More GitLab cons

"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay."

"This is an open-source solution."

"We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."

"The solution is based on a subscription model and is reasonably priced."

"GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands."

"Regarding pricing, I would rate GitLab as moderately priced, maybe around a seven or eight out of ten. It could be more flexible for clients but generally offers good value."

"I'm not aware of the licensing costs because those were covered by the customer."

"My company uses the free version of GitLab, which is GitLab Community Edition. There is a licensed version also available for GitLab."

More GitLab pricing and cost advice

"Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
