| Number | Base of difference | GitLab | Azure devops |
| 1 | Basic information | Well when we say about the GitLab, it is an open and self hosted environment. And this will allow for managing Git repositories, activity feeds, code reviews, issue tracking and wikis. | Well when we say about the Azure devops, here team can use some services to share the code, manage progress and ship software. |
| 2 | Purpose | Well for secure authentication and authorization, the businesses team will install the GitLab on-premise and connect it to LDAP and Active Directory servers. | Well when we say about the purpose for Azure Devops, it offers limitless private Git hosting, cloud build for continuous integration, agile planning, and release management for cloud and on-premises continuous delivery. |
| 3 | No of Users | Well when we say about the GitLab, here a single server of GitLab can manage more than n number of users, but the numerous active servers can be used to form a high-availability setup. | When we say about the Azure devops user info, this Supports a wide range of IDEs. |
| 4 | Classified | When we say about the GitLab, this is primarily classified as the Project Management and Code Collaboration, and Version control. | Well this is also same as GitLab and it is calssified as the Project Management and Code Collaboration and Version control. |
| 5 | Tool | When we say about the Tools of GitLab, it does not have any tools free repositories. | When we say about the Tools of Azure devops, this have different tools like Kanban, backlog, and scrum boards. |
| 6 | Software or Language | When we say about the language used in GitLab, the code was originally built in the Ruby platform and with certain parts are rewritten in Go language as a source code management solution for software development collaboration within a team. | Well when we say about the Azure devops, it is mainly the practice of rapidly developing and deploying software in order to provide continuous value to end-users through incremental software delivery. |
| 7 | Process | When we say about the process of GitLab, it later grew with into an integrated software development life cycle solution and then into the entire DevOps life cycle. | When we say about the Azure devops process, by using this, we get goods to market fast, cross-discipline teams, and it follow the DevOps phases through their delivery pipeline. |
| 8 | Devlopment and delivery | When we say about the technology stack we have Go, Ruby on Rails and Vue.js in GitLab. | Mainly we can get it for to market fast, using cross-discipline teams and following these DevOps phases through their delivery pipeline. |
| 9 | Platform | As a comprehensive DevOps Platform, GitLab’s application provides features for jointly planning, building, securing, and deploying software. | This Azure service are being separated into different upgraded services like Boards, Pipelines, Repos, Test Plans, and Artifacts – in the Azure DevOps release. |
| 10 | scalability | It is a highly scalable application that can be hosted on-premises or in the cloud. The issue-tracking, IDE, and CI/CD pipeline are also included in the environment.
| Azure maintains the Software as a Service platform that consists of a comprehensive set of tools that is not only provided in the DevOps skills, but it also supports the ability to manage the entire product development lifecycle. |
