The Magic Quadrant, which evaluated 14 DevOps Platforms vendors, recognized GitLab as a Leader based on "Completeness of Vision" and "Ability to Execute."

According to Gartner, Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow. The report states, “DevOps platforms are emerging as a simpler alternative to DevOps toolchains, providing organizations with a consolidated set of integrated capabilities. Software engineering leaders should evaluate DevOps platforms as a means to accelerate delivery of customer value.”

GitLab helps organizations accelerate their digital transformation initiatives through every step of the software development lifecycle, enabling them to build better software faster, increase operational efficiency, reduce security and compliance risk, and accelerate cloud transformations.

“GitLab is constantly listening to our community and customers to identify key areas for growth and innovation, and over the past 12 months, we have made significant investments to help customers strengthen their software supply chain, meet complex compliance and regulatory needs, visualize their end-to-end value streams, and leverage AI to deliver secure software faster,“ said Ashley Kramer, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, GitLab. “We believe that our recognition as a Leader in the 2023 Magic Quadrant for DevOps Platforms further validates the value we provide to our customers and community.”
