    Chose GitLab
    GitLab fits our needs much better because it is a all-in-one solution and is easier to learn. We have a wide range of users - senior software developers and people who only write small, easy scripts or just start pipelines. Jenkins is rather useful when e.g. more fine-grained …

    The company has had prior experience with Bamboo. GitLab has much more functionality than Bamboo and worked better with some of our legacy projects. While Jenkins is free, it really isn't free - the amount of work required to get something up and running would have been …

    GitLab is easily the preferred tool when it comes to versioning and source control. With other tools the UI often feels outdated and clunky leading to inefficiency and confusion. With some of the sleeker tools such as GitKraken, while the aesthetic is pleasing, the experience …

    We migrated from Gerrit to GitLab, and minus a few minor bumps during migration, GitLab has been hands down better. Our devs have faster time to code review with notifications, the UI is easy to navigate and, and our pipeline is integrated and automated, so once everything is …

    • GitLab was chosen for the auto dev ops feature over GitHub, but then GitHub shortly then came out with GitHub Actions.
    • We also moved from GitHub enterprise to GitLab, so cost-wise was cheaper as we didn't have to host GitLab.
    • GoCD was too slow and restrictive for our liking.

    Gitlab surpasses Bitbucket in all areas except of course the very tight integration Bitbucket has with JIRA and Confluence. Almost everyone uses JIRA at some level or time so Bitbucket has a more natural and tight integration feel. However, there is good JIRA integration with …

    Bitbucket building was very slow, in order to improve that you have to upgrade to spend double or more minutes per build minute. The GUI was also very slow in updating on the progress of the builds, making things rather confusing. GitLab worked a bit better in my opinion, but …
