SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today GitLab, the DevOps platform delivered as a single application, announced that Forrester Research has recognized the company as a leader in "The Forrester Wave™: Cloud-Native Continuous Integration Tools, Q3 2019." In its profile of GitLab, the report notes: "GitLab’s simple and cohesive approach lands it squarely as a leader. GitLab’s approach of having a single application to manage each phase of software development comes through in its developer experience."
In the report, Forrester evaluated GitLab Enterprise Edition version 12.0, which is the first single application for the entire DevSecOps lifecycle. GitLab received the highest score possible in the enterprise strategy and vision and product roadmap criteria.

“Virtually all new software development efforts include open source, but the DevOps footprint within an enterprise is large and complex, and plagued by manual integrations and waste.” said Scott Williamson, VP of Product at GitLab. “GitLab addresses these challenges by providing these enterprises with a cohesive single application, which is a prerequisite for their journey to cloud native.”
GitLab reimagines the scope of DevOps tooling to include developers, operations, and security teams in one single application. This dramatically reduces friction, increases collaboration, and drives a competitive advantage. Doing away with context switching and having all of the necessary information in one place closes the loop and enables a better understanding of each team's needs. With over 22 million developers involved in every aspect of the product lifecycle, more than 2,000 contributors in more than 100,000 organizations contribute using GitLab. Our community of contributors, users and customers have helped inform and build our vision and product roadmap.
With customers such as Goldman Sachs, Ticketmaster, Ask Media Group and more, GitLab is helping enterprises release code quickly and stay competitive.
“Moving to GitLab CI let Optoro templatize best practices and push towards repeatable clean room builds for all of our services,” said Zach Dunn, Senior Director of Platform Operations, Optoro.
