                Lower Cost & Increase Efficiency
              %p Jenkins requires dedicated resources, admins, and maintenance - increasing the total cost of ownership.
              %p GitLab requires fewer steps to deploy code and developers spend more time writing code and less time maintaining the toolchain.
