Overall Satisfaction with GitLab
We use GitLab to create a centralized build version control. GitLab allows you to have multiple builds (which we need as we integrate with a variety of customers on a single project that cannot always interconnect or need to remain separate). Along with this, we use Jenkins to test the GitLab builds that we merge into which optimizes how GitLab functions. We use this to manage a build amongst our team of 50+ persons and share this with an organization far larger than we are.
- Safeguards implemented are customizable and allow our organization to set our level of verification before merging.
- One of the smoothest and most well-organized version control software products on the market.
- Super widespread use so our use of GitLab is understandable and usable by the customer with little "translation" as to what we are doing and what they are doing.
- Sometimes the customizable blocks/verification/etc can become cumbersome and hard to remove.
- Use within the command line of GitLab with VPNs is not always easily used.
- Creating a better-centralized hub to see all changes and track things back for multiple builds that might be being used.
- Faster build integration.
- DevOps style development which keeps us agile and updating to customer needs.
- Our large grouping of builds makes a centralized hub necessary and while there is one, it isn't a great system for it in my opinion.
I am unsure if we have the paid plan for GitLab.
We use this feature every day. It allows us to work as a DevOps team where our software developers are fixing/creating features. Our integration and test group can create procedures and documentation to navigate our code and builds. Also to have a version we know things were working from and continue to make sure they work from versions then on out by automatically running our procedures against the updates.
