What differentiates GitLab Ultimate from other similar products?
Gitlab offers the most complete software development and operations lifecycle of any Git repository I have had experience using. This is as a result of how it seamlessly connects important code version control provisions with software planning, end to end security / compliance and even AI assisted deployment. The aforementioned has saved my team a lot of time and made our repository management and code deployment workflow a lot more fluid, automated and efficient.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The very vibrant nature of Gitlab's active user community has been helpful to me, whenever I have had technical issues with using Gitlab. Another very exciting aspect of my Gitlab experience is its built-in security scanning tools, which helps to manage potential security vulnerability in our code and processes as we build, and even helps to simulate the potential activity of hackers in our finished software product, through fuzz testing, DAST and container scanning.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Gitlab's support team is not fast enough with its responses from my experiences. The major work around for me , has been to rely on support resources provided by the Gitlab user community, across the world on various web forums. Asides this, I have found Gitlab to be resource intensive , and because of the avalanche of features it possesses, . setting up Gitlab's CI/CD ( continuous integration and continuous delivery ) is always a cumbersome process, as a result of its reliance on the YAML syntax referencing for its configuration protocol.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I always advice teams to avoid self-hosting Gitlab because of the level of technical expertise and resources needed to maintain a self-hosted Gitlab option.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
