Overall Satisfaction with Gitlab

Gitlab is used by our company as a code repo, version control and continuous integration tool. It is being used across multiple departments and some departments have their separate instance! We have several internal networks as well like intranet , DMZ etc. For several projects, there is a separate instance for Gitlab in each of these network to ensure data privacy and data isolation requirements.
  • Version Control.
  • Code Repository.
  • Continuous Integration.
  • Third-party integrations.
  • Improved UI.
  • More robust user management.
  • Agile Business Model.
  • Open Source Adaptation.
  • Cost Management.
We directly moved from the older Team Foundation Server system and had considered GitHub enterprise and Bitbucket as alternatives. In a corporate ecosystem, security is a top priority and that's why we chose Gitlab. It's really simple to use, offers most modern features while giving the ability to manage the deployment and security aspect.
We use the Ultimate tier from Gitlab's pricing range which allows us to the DevSecOps features. We use the Gitlab ci and cd to build and test our code using SAST to find any vulnerabilities. We also use container scanning to find issues in the docker images and license check to make sure our softwares are compliant with the open source license conventions.
Yes, we use the Gitlab provided continuous integration features to review the app using Static Application Security Testing to spot vulnerabilities in the code, Container scanning to detect problems in docker images and license compliance for the legality of the packages. This has reduced hum intervention by lot as before this we had to do all this manually or using separate tools!
