Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is compatible with GitHub. The product's integration capabilities are sufficient for our small company of 35 people.""GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos.""I have had no problem with the stability of the solution.""Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains.""The stability is good.""We're only using the basic features of GitLab and haven't used any advanced features. The solution works fine, so that's what we like about GitLab. We're party using GitHub and GitLab. We have a GitHub server, while we use GitLab locally or only within our team, and it works okay. We don't have any significant problems with the solution. We also found the straightforward setup, stability, and scalability of GitLab valuable.""I have found the most valuable features of GitLab are the GitClone, GitPush, GitPull, GitMatch, GitMit, GitCommit, and GitStatus.""GitLab's best feature is Actions."

Cons
"We'd like to see better integration with the Atlassian ecosystem.""The documentation could be improved to help newcomers better understand things like creating new branches.""Reporting could be improved.""When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing.""The price of GitLab could improve, it is high.""The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better.""The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required.""Perhaps the integration could be better."

More GitLab Cons →

"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved.""Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs.""The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance.""JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard.""Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool.""Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things.""I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month."
  • "The price is okay."
  • "It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
  • "Its price is fine. It is on the cheaper side and not expensive. You have to pay additionally for GitLab CI/CD minutes. Initially, we used the free version. When we ran out of GitLab minutes, we migrated to the paid version."
  • "It is very expensive. We can't bear it now, and we have to find another solution. We have a yearly subscription in which we can increase the number of licenses, but we have to pay at the end of the year."
  • "I don't mind the price because I use the free version."
  • "We are using its free version, and we are evaluating its Premium version. Its Ultimate version is very expensive."
  • "The price of GitLab could be better, it is expensive."
