3 reasons why

Enterprises choose GitLab for speed with control

01

One platform
for all your workflows

Workflows

Continuous flow instead of context switching

Give teams everything they need to deliver software and manage AI agents in one place so they can stay in continuous flow and avoid context switching and manual handoffs.

Agentic AI

Integrated AI and multi-agent workflows across the SDLC

Move beyond individual AI coding assistants to team-level agentic workflows where multiple agents work in parallel with your engineering teams to tackle complex tasks across the entire software development lifecycle.

Built-in CI/CD

Automated pipelines that eliminate manual handoffs

GitLab's CI/CD is built directly into the platform, not bolted on as a separate tool. With customizable pipelines, reusable components from the CI/CD catalog, and AI-powered optimization that can automatically fix failing pipelines, teams coordinate complex multi-stage deployments with full visibility and control.

Agile planning

Built-in enterprise Agile planning

Organizations need software and product planning to be integrated with the rest of the development lifecycle versus treated like a siloed activity. GitLab's Enterprise Agile Delivery is built into the same DevSecOps platform that development, security, and operations teams use to develop and deploy software, creating a more efficient experience and improving time to market.

With GitLab, we went from a completely isolated situation to a collaborative environment that enables better communication and coordination among diverse teams

Complete context
across the SDLC

Unified data model

GitLab unifies context across the entire software development lifecycle in one semantic data layer, so your team members and AI agents have a single source of truth.

Context graph for AI agents

GitLab Orbit connects your code, merge requests, pipelines, and deployments into one queryable graph that every agent reads from. Instead of loading raw files into context windows and inferring relationships, agents traverse a pre-indexed graph of how your software system actually works. Every agent reasons from the same first-party context, whether it's GitLab Duo at zero rate, a third-party agent connected through Model Context Protocol, or a developer querying in natural language.

Flexible guardrails, consistent security

Deployment options

Deploy within your organizations guardrails

Modern enterprises need deployment flexibility especially organizations with complex security, compliance, and regulatory requirements. Choose from on-premises, multi-tenant SaaS, or GitLab Dedicated, our fully managed single-tenant SaaS solution.

Built-in security

Security throughout the entire workflow

GitLab embeds comprehensive security directly into DevSecOps workflows, enabling continuous threat detection and vulnerability management throughout the entire software lifecycle rather than at discrete stage checkpoints. From SAST and DAST to dependency scanning, secret detection, container scanning, and fuzz testing, security operates as an integrated component of intelligent orchestration not a bolted-on afterthought.

Privacy-first AI

Privacy-first AI, with the right model for the right use case

AI can be complex. At GitLab, our approach is straightforward: your code remains your code, unused for training or fine tuning of our own models. Code suggestions do not use customer code, and since GitLab isn't commercially tied to any LLM provider, we match the right model based on your use case. Easily choose what works for you, or change when a model no longer aligns to your business or technology strategy.

Compliance

End-to-end compliance and auditability

Security-specific tools that aren't used consistently fail to protect organizations and their customers. GitLab's comprehensive governance solution enforces requirements across all projects, separating developer and security/compliance teams. Using our policy editor, you can customize approval rules to meet your business' compliance needs and reduce risk.

NatWest Group is adopting GitLab Dedicated to enable our engineers to use a common cloud engineering platform; delivering new customer outcomes rapidly, frequently and securely with high quality, automated testing, on demand infrastructure and straight-through deployment.

Open core

With GitLab's open core, you can build a solution that truly meets your needs, while shaping the future of our roadmap and DevSecOps.

Cloud agnostic

Since GitLab isn't commercially tied to any specific cloud provider, you can de-risk your multi-cloud strategy and avoid being locked into a single vendor.

AI provider agnostic

GitLab isnt locked to a single AI model provider, so you can pick the right model for each job and keep self-hosted options when you need them.
