Pros

“Setting up pipeline stuff through .gitlab-ci.yml is pretty direct, plus the native Container Registry makes it genuinely easy to roll out Docker images, especially during our day to day development sprints.”

Enguerran M.

Fullstack Web Developer

“We rely heavily on merge requests, and the integrated security scanning (SAST/DAST) is a huge plus—it gives developers immediate feedback during the merge process, which helps us catch issues early and maintain quality without slowing down delivery.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Vidya P.

Devops Engineer

“The built-in CI/CD pipelines are a game-changer; being able to define the entire build, test, and deployment process in a single .gitlab-ci.yml file right in the repository is so much more efficient than juggling separate tools like Jenkins.”

“Codemagic delivers a satisfactory mobile development services”

Marketing Associate

Cons

“Web UI performance and speed can degrade on very large repositories, and web-based code editing tools feel basic compared to a local IDE.”
EA

Estrella A.

Software Engineer

“I’ve noticed performance slowdowns when navigating large project backlogs or loading detailed merge request diffs, which can be frustrating during critical reviews. While the UI is generally intuitive, the sheer breadth of features—issues, boards, CI/CD, security—can make the initial setup and configuration overwhelming for new team members.”

Vidya P.

Devops Engineer

“Unfortunately the AI features we tried for the free 30 days were very lackluster and felt (feb 2026) very slapped on and not really usable, or if they were maybe we didn't invest enough time into it. But what I tried to use the chat for either failed completely, or was so low quality it was unusable.”
MS

Marvin S.

Lead Software Developer

Cons

“Some of the advanced settings can be a little confusing the first time, especially options such as Shorebird, code signing, and distribution.”
KS

Khaled S.

“It took additional effort to understand some complex test management tasks, and intermittent bugs or service downtime interrupted our development during property database updates.”

“I haven't seen a great way to create encrypted variables when I want to include them in my codemagic.yml file.”
