GitLab - Review

  • April 04, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is the best version control option for private and organizations. It offers amazing features like the access control levels which some of its competitors do not have. Collaboration/sharing code is super easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up and using GitLab is slightly more time consuming than its competitors, the UI can definitely be improved to cater to more novice/new users. Ci/CD runners are another one of those areas, where GitLab can definitely improve
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is just the perfect solution when your needs involve, custom access rights and more personalized collaboration. Maintaining code is a breeze, and its no wonder that organizations would prefer GitLab over its competitors for the unique features that only GitLab provides

There is nothing much that I dislike. But I feel this is the best tool as compared to others in the market. This is one of the most reliable tools according to me.

Below are the list of problems that we were solving using GitLab
- Code Versioning

- Different branches for different developers
- Bug Tracking and logging etc

With the help of this, we were actually able to speed up our deliverables.

My Development experience with GitLab

  • March 15, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is an open-source software project and has free version limited options. If a developer at a beginner or a self programmer free plan also helps a lot to make the development environment perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are working with a team or a large company free plan does not enough, need to go with a paid plan. GitLab paid too expensive comparing some other services. Sometimes if you go with a premium plan its features might not be enough for you to handle your project requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our startup company needed a VCS and DevOps platform to work collaboratively with team members. When comparing other available services we selected GitLab, because its free version also provides perfect features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have been using GitLab for 5 years now. So far it provided the best quality services. So my experience I recommended if you want Devops and VCS software GitLab is the best option. You can use it freely without any cost with limited features. But if you want you can go with a premium version with all the features.

Best code version control and code sharing platform available for businesses

  • March 14, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful feature I found while using GitLab is how easy it is for an organization to manage its multiple projects in one place. Project managers can create a new repository for a new project and add the members as per the need.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many things that I can list as my dislikings when talking about GitLab, but since I have to mention here, I'd go with the need for a better UI.
What I'm talking about here is how we have a feature to change the UI themes, but not many great options to choose from. I mean changing just the color is too old stuff now, there should be more options available for complete UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The number one problem it solves is taking all the pain out of code sharing and version control systems. All the members of the projects can make different changes in the codebase and then proceed to merge their versions into the main code, exactly how it's supposed to be done, and this tool makes this work effortless.

We can. Create our pipeline and we can add Jenkins on top of it to automate the deployment process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much but one thing is we can add more user roles so that any organisation can handle it seemlessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Code base maintenance with deployment fr it using AWS and lambda.

GitLab: The best SCM and CI Tool

  • March 10, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are using GitLab CI for almost 4 years now, It's the best tool for source code management and CI service. We are using a single CI configuration for the test, build and deployment of the application from different branches. GitLab provides preconfigured runner but we are using our runner to make the builds faster. We are storing the artifacts like scan reports in the GitLab itself which is a great feature to track the status of security checks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't this there's anything to dislike about GitLab but recently we struggled a lot while configuring the EC2 based runners with auto-scaling features. This is simply because the documentation is not sufficient. Another issue we faced was that the default GitLab runners are very slow as compared to custom runners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using GitLab to keep the code and the pipeline on the same platform. This gives the DevOps team and the developers a clear vision of the code and the deployments from a single dashboard. Developers can see the error in the case of deployment failure, the DevOps team can access see the deployment status and issues and security can see the security report and all of these available on a single dashboard.
