GitLab vs. monday dev

In general it's a good product with a huge number of features. It can do CI/CD checks, deployment, repo hosting, integrations etc. A lot of it can be managed from just the UI but also has an ok API. It does tend to release new features semi-often too which is nice. It can have a steep learning curve for certain features so not a starter-friendly vendor, but great for most businesses.

I find Monday helpful for lead management. It's great because details like phone, email, and addresses are specific columns from which we can grab data and pull it into other areas. It's great to see who is assigned what and to know what the next steps are for your leads. We use a different scheduling tool with our team, as that calendar view isn't as robust.

• GitLab excels in managing code versions, allowing easy tracking of changes, branch management, and merging contributions.
• It helps maintain code stability and reliability, saving time and effort in the development or research workflow.
• Powerful code review features, enabling collaboration and feedback among team members.
• Robust project management features, including issue tracking, kanban boards, and milestones.

• CI variables management is sometimes hard to use, for example, with File type variables. The scope of each variable is also hard to guess.
• Access Token: there are too many types (Personal, Project, global..), and it is hard to identify the scope and where it comes from once created.
• Runners: auto-scaled runners are for the moment hard to put in place, and monitoring is not easy.

• Sometimes, it's a little technical to set up. Someone who isn't particularly savvy will have a hard time setting it up.
• Sometimes there are glitches in the automations.
• The comments areas can be confusing- how they nest. Things can get lost in there.

I really feel the platform has matured quite faster than others, and it is always at the top of its game compared to the different vendors like GitHub, Azure pipelines, CircleCI, Travis, Jenkins. Since it provides, agents, CI/CD, repository hosting, Secrets management, user management, and Single Sign on; among other features

We are very likely to renew, because it has been really useful

- As a combination of features and products, GitLab is a really great tool for developers. - Also, it comes with both light and quick changes in a web browser version, as well as pro work in VS Code mode. However, in certain areas, such as large-scale issues/incidents, management can be improved.

I give a ten for monday dev's usability because it was a really smooth transition coming from Jira to monday dev. All team members also felt that way. When managing projects, the quality and various options I am able to customize views and columns for each task is really a dealbreaker. Approved.

I've never had experienced outages from GItlab itself, but regarding the code I have deployed to Gitlab, the history helps a lot to trace the cause of the issue or performing a rollback to go back to a working version

GItlab reponsiveness is amazing, has never left me IDLE. I've never had issues even with complex projects. I have not experienced any issues when integrating it with agents for example or SSO

At this point, I do not have much experience with Gitlab support as I have never had to engage them. They have documentation that is helpful, not quite as extensive as other documentation, but helpful nonetheless. They also seem to be relatively responsive on social media platforms (twitter) and really thrived when GitHub was acquired by Microsoft

Good engagement from account manager

GitHub is an inferior product from most points of view. We had to use it and the teams finds no positives about it. Everything is a downgrade from our previous GitLab solution. GitLab CI\CD is vastly superior to workflows, for example doing a manual node is just "when : manual" in GitLab while you have to do clickops in GitHub to achieve the same. No overview of code in branches is a minus when we tried to figure out what our colleagues are trying to merge as it looked off.

It is at least as good as these tools, in many ways, it is better because it is easier to use and setup. It doesn't require a full-time admin like these tools do. It does lack some of the detailed reporting and such that these offer, but the product is still young and growing. These are much more well-developed tools

I think is very well designed, and like any VCS it works as intended

• GitLab cut down our spent on container, package and infrastructure registry
• Best thing is we can now have everything in single platform which cost effective too
• Quality of support is really good and they do have emergency support team as well which is great

• Although the initial operational cost is usually somewhat high, it is really worth considering in an environment with more than 10 employees working together.
• In project costing (web development) it is quite acceptable and falls within the scope of the final product quote.
• I don't have exact numbers or percentages (because I'm not in charge of that section) but I can say that it falls within a good to acceptable ROI range.
