Gitlab 16.8.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 with maintenance support by ATH.
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for support. GitLab is a robust and versatile web-based platform designed to streamline and enhance the software development process. At its core, GitLab serves as a centralized hub for version control, allowing teams to efficiently manage their source code repositories using the Git version control system. However, GitLab goes beyond basic version control, offering an extensive suite of features that cover the entire software development lifecycle. This includes built-in continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, enabling automated testing and deployment.
Highlights
- GitLab provides built-in CI/CD pipelines, allowing for automated testing, code quality checks, and deployment.
- GitLab is built on the Git version control system, providing robust source code management capabilities.
- The platform supports collaborative code reviews, enabling teams to maintain code quality through peer review.

Customer reviews
Basic features work well but improvements in efficiency and security are needed
What is our primary use case?
To store the data.
What is most valuable?
Git merging allows us to track the details of how and who has done what. This is the best feature which is useful for all companies.
As we are using it in Kubernetes clusters, we don't have any issues.
What needs improvement?
GitLab needs to improve the CI/CD functionality because it is not compatible with Jenkins and other tools, as it is not that efficient. Security-wise, we have security features enabled in GitLab for code vulnerability and other aspects, but it is not up to market standards.
For how long have I used the solution?
Approximately four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Recently we had an issue where an employee left the company and their commits were erased. We raised a request with GitLab support, but they were unable to help because they could not find the root cause of what went wrong. We restored the data from previous backups.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
GitLab is suitable for small and mid-size organizations, but not for enterprise use.
How are customer service and support?
We raised a request with GitLab support when an employee's commits were erased, but they were unable to help because they could not find the root cause of what went wrong.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I worked with GitLab Enterprise at a previous company. GitLab Enterprise is far better than the free version. For enterprise-level customers, we can recommend GitLab Enterprise. Regarding competitors, we have explored GitHub , Bitbucket , and CircleCI . However, GitLab Enterprise has more features than any of these tools.
What about the implementation team?
I am working with Kyndryl , which is part of IBM. They have their own decision-making team who manages these aspects.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are currently using general GitLab, not GitLab Premium .
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We are using Jira and Confluence , but not Bitbucket .
What other advice do I have?
We are currently using GitLab integrated with Sonar for code vulnerability checks, Jenkins , Camunda , and XL Deploy. We use Camunda to deploy folders and XL Deploy for server deployment.
We are not using the security features on the GitLab side, as we use different tools for that purpose. My team is not using the GitLab merge request process, but we work on providing GitLab access for admin activities, as developers are in different teams handling development and merge requests.
We are using basic features currently, so I cannot comment on detailed functionality comparisons. Every versioning control tool provides similar basic features, and we are not utilizing the full functionality of GitLab.
The system is easy to use.
On a scale of 1-10, this solution rates a 7.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Efficient version tracking saves time and money while leaving room for potential improvements
What is our primary use case?
We are not using the community version of GitLab, but we are using it for ticketing and publishing the tool versioning.
What is most valuable?
The best features of GitLab are versioning and keeping track of the versions.
GitLab helps me save time and provide financial benefits, as keeping track of the updated version and the changes is money and time-saving.
GitLab has CI/CD pipeline capabilities.
What needs improvement?
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with GitLab for probably six to seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I am satisfied with GitLab's security, and we have not experienced any problems so far.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding scalability, I did not face any issues with GitLab supporting my projects.
How are customer service and support?
I have not contacted GitLab's technical support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What was our ROI?
I have seen benefits from using GitLab, since my directors and the team are using it, they must be happy with it.
What other advice do I have?
I rate GitLab seven out of ten because nothing is perfect. I think we have to finish the conversation. I have told you what I could tell you.
Project management integration and development simplicity drive efficiency
What is our primary use case?
My most common use cases for GitLab are development and managing repositories, primarily focused on code development work.
What is most valuable?
The features that are really useful for my use case generally include pulling, merging, and ensuring the pipeline is upright, which are very intuitive.
It helped me personally and my team to save time and money.
In terms of impact from using GitLab as an all-in-one DevOps platform, it helped with my project development life cycle.
What needs improvement?
Regarding improvements, making task management is something that GitLab can potentially make easier, similar to what DevOps or Jira does.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with GitLab for about two years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The deployment and initial setup were not difficult for me to complete. The pipeline management was easy.
The setup process took less than an hour.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In terms of project management overall, I haven't faced any issues such as downtimes or losing the repository.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted technical support of GitLab.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
When comparing GitLab with GitHub, I haven't really seen any noticeable difference.
What other advice do I have?
I have worked with Azure DevOps before and found it really intuitive to use.
I have used GitHub and GitLab as well, and I find that they've been fairly intuitive to use.
Regarding GitLab, I purchased an enterprise license, though I'm not aware whether I or my company bought this license from AWS Marketplace or elsewhere.
I'm not aware of any integration with other tools or third-party applications.
I haven't faced any difficulties with user interface or deployment.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate GitLab an 8.
