"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the automatic merging of code."
"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."

"The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain. If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain."
"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."
"The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The software’s pricing could be improved."
"The reporting contains too many false positives."
"The virus code updates are not frequent enough."
"The pricing does not seem to be competitive."
"The scanner reports a lot of false positives, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The support could be faster."
"Sometimes the response time is low because the handshake fails, and then you have to re-login and start again."
