Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

We are using GitLab as a cloud-based SCM service which we use to keep our application source code safe, secure, and easily accessible. We are also using GitLab as a CICD tool. It's very convenient for our DevOps teams to implement CICD in GitLab. We have recently started evaluating the GitLab for Kubernetes deployment and Terraform.
  • Safe and Highly Available.
  • Integrated CI platform with default and custom runner support.
  • Support of Kubernetes Deployments.
  • Integrated SAST and DAST scans.
  • Default runners are a bit slow.
  • Pricing is a bit high.
  • Rapid and Consistent Releases.
  • Easy CI implementation.
  • SAST and DAST scan for secure releases.
Yes, we are using GitLab's paid plan for one of our clients. It's very easy to implement both SAST and DAST in the GitLab CI. GitLab provides SAST for multiple languages like Java, python, js, etc. DAST is also available which is based on OWASP ZAP. We can see the scan reports on the dashboard.
This feature is widely used in our organization. Each and every project is now running with CI and being built after every commit. We are also managing the CD from GitLab as it can be integrated with a variety of cloud providers. CI can also be used for code testing and scanning.

Do you think GitLab delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did GitLab live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of GitLab go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy GitLab again?

Yes

I would recommend GitLab for all the teams and individuals if they are looking for an SCM platform. GitLab is not just an SCM tool but it also provides CI features as well which helps in the easy and consistent release of the code. If you think that default runners are not good then you can add custom runners as well on the basis of requirements.
