Improved performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with large repositories or heavy CI/CD pipelines, would enhance the overall user experience. Streamlined user interface and navigation, making it easier to find and access various features and settings within GitLab.

GitLab solves the problems of version control, collaboration, and streamlined DevOps processes, enabling teams to develop and deploy applications more effectively, efficiently, and reliably.

One of the best version management and CI/CD tool out there!

  • June 07, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab seamlessly combines version management using git (code versioning, repository management, branch tracking, merge requests, forks etc.) with a Continuous Integration / Continuous Development (CI/CD) pipeline. I like its overall UI/UX as well. It does its pretty well. I have been using it for over 4 years now and it has gotten better!
What do you dislike about the product?
Jenkins integration can be improved. I also had some issues while adding my SSH key to GitLab since it didn't work on multiple tries. That process can be streamlined better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab helps our team to develop software comprehensively and meticulously by seamlessly taking care of CI/CD and version management. The UI/UX is great in being minimalist and seems very intuitive as well. I'd like a dark mode feature as well :)

More User Friendly and CI/CD comptaible

  • June 05, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Great integration with Git repos, snippet feature, is great, comprehensive view of documentation of projects along with Wiki, very user-friendly GUI and fast learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Speed and performance are pretty average compared to other peers, maneuvering between pages in not so smooth and fast, and integration with GCP and other cloud services is yet to be planned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A detailed and well-developed tool for configuration management with Git. It's helping save many hours through a proper distribution system for the global team and integration wiki, source code etc., in a centralized manner without any hiccups.

Most reliable Git version control tool

  • June 04, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is the most reliable tool for version control and storing the source code. I like its CI/CD integration feature which allows the team to do integration and deployment in real-time for all changes. I also like the way it manages merge requests by providing a feature to restrict it with a specific person's review
What do you dislike about the product?
Gitlab should improve its user interface and it is a bit difficult to navigate through the repository in GitLab compare to other version control tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab is providing an in-one solution for storing source code to deploy it on the server. It makes it very easy for the development team to manage source code and review peers' code

DevOps work for some open-source projects.

GitLab's built-in CI/CD pipelines allow you to automate the testing, building, and deployment processes.

GitLab being feature rich, its UI was confusing and overwhelming for quite some period

Easy to use in-house Git SCM

  • May 19, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
If you want to get a Git server up and running internally, Gitlab is wonderful. It is straightforward to install, mainly if a Linux (preferably Ubuntu) server is available. Updating is also easy (e.g., "apt-get update gitlab".)
What do you dislike about the product?
It would help if you kept Gitlab up to date (that is via "apt-get update"). If you try to update an outdated version of Gitlab, it will require CLI knowledge of Linux. For instance, if you try updating from an older "major version" to a newer major version, Gitlab will automatically update multiple versions manually. This process can be tricky.

Gitlab cannot be installed on a Windows host, only Linux. I haven't tried deploying it as a container, however it looks like that's a very straightforward process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab allows me to keep code I write for internal projects inside my network. It's great if you don't want to host your code on another provider's platform (e.g. Microsoft with Github or Atlassian with Bitbucket.)
