What you give up vs GitLab
- Complex initial setup; enterprise focus means steep learning curve
- Some advanced features (portfolio management, SAFe) require paid Enterprise Edition
- UI is dense and dated compared to modern SaaS alternatives
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Tuleap on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (GitLab: steep per-user tiers for advanced features).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (GPL-2.0).
