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?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Streamlined collaboration with room for better project planning features
What is our primary use case?
The broad use of GitLab is for code check-ins, but I also use it for issue management and backlog management. It has integration with testing tools as well, and I utilize those features. GitLab supports code collaboration alongside issue and backlog management. Everyone within my team or pod, as we call it, can see each other's issues. The scrum master can look at the velocity and the burn-down charts.
What is most valuable?
I find all the CICD pipelines valuable, along with the simplicity it offers developers. When comparing it, certain features available in Jira are not present. Specifically, the ability to have weights at the milestone and epic levels does not exist. However, the security features are good and restrictive.
What needs improvement?
Certain features in Jira are not available in GitLab, such as the functionality to have weights at the milestone and epic levels. Hopefully, these features will be resolved with work items in GitLab. Also, if the child items are open in GitLab, closing the parent should not be allowed. While GitLab is a great tool for developers, it lacks project planner features. Roadmaps and Gantt charts in GitLab are not as advanced as in Jira, and changing start and end dates is more laborious in GitLab. Bridging the gap for project planners would make GitLab a more complete tool.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not really encountered stability issues. I would rate it probably an eight.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would say the solution is easy to scale.
How are customer service and support?
I do not have direct contact with customer service. We have relationship managers who deal with GitLab directly.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was relatively easy.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
In my company, the number of users is around ten thousand. If we are talking about my project, the figure is probably more around the three hundred mark, but it will grow to about six hundred users. In my company, that figure would be anything between five and ten thousand people.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it an eight out of ten. Also, maybe, if GitLab is supporting any AI-driven projects or if it has any automation elements, it supports them. We have AI-driven projects where the code is stored in GitLab. GitLab Copilot is something we are looking to introduce soon. If you want to maintain your issues in GitLab and raise your book of work and features, then GitLab is a great tool for collaboration and integration with code deployment and CICD pipelines.
