    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.

    • SonarLint highlights all the issues in our codes and also displays the severity of each issue.
    • SonarLint also provides suggestions for how to fix those code issues which are highlighted.
    • SonarLint starts the processing of the file as soon as it is opened and highlights all the issues which it found.
    • When we fix the issue, we don't even need to create a new build or generate fresh code quality report, as soon as we save the file with the changes, it does the processing again and shows the result if the issue is fixed or not.
    • SonarLint saves a lot of time and effort by saving us from doing fresh build every time and generating new code quality report every time, thus increasing the efficiency and output which is in return beneficial for the client.

    Cons
    GitLab
    • 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, SonarLint does not highlight the issues in the code correctly.
    • The severity of the issues highlighted is according to the default rules set, we should also be given authority to set the severity of the issues.
    • The default fixes which SonarLint provides should be more enhanced and there should be more fixes available.
    • Sometimes it takes a lot of time for processing of the file when any new file is loaded or changes are saved in a file.

    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

    Usability
    GitLab
    - 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.

    Reliability and Availability
    GitLab
    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

    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

    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.

    • SonarLint helps in achieving all the business requirements in a more efficient way.
    • It reduces the manual and redundant work which we would have to do else every time if we did not use SonarLint.
    • SonarLint helps in maintaining code quality, and thus also highlights the loopholes for the cyber attacks and phishing attacks.
    • SonarLint makes work easy and helps the developer to invest less time in manual work thereby increasing their capacity to deliver the maximum output to the client.
