  • December 23, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab offers good diff showcasing and Ui is also very user friendly .

Gitlab merge diff can be simplified by hiding two dot and three dot comparisons from users. Also gitlab can be made a little bit faster.

Gitlab is used for all the code check ins and reviewing PRs and and version control of the code.

Open source solution to hosting code

  • December 20, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is not only open source, it's free to use for open source projects. It seems more secure than its counterpart GitHub, despite being owned by themselves and having a seemingly smaller footprint.
What do you dislike about the product?
While GitLab is an enterprise product, there are many bugs in the software making the experience quite glitchy. Additionally, the code review workflow is not very well thought out nor polished. I find myself checking out code locally to conduct my own review process, rather than use the UI online.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is a code hosting and reviewing platform, mixed with continuous integration and continuous deployment features for automated delivery of code. The software helps on the infrastructure side of development so that I can focus on the code itself.

A great repo for an air-gapped environment

  • December 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to interact with a securely hosted repository to store and develop code with my team. The collaboration features are an industry standard and enable my team to work together well. I also love the ability to set up pipelines and CI/CD for my projects to have good linting, testing, and deployment automatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really anything in particular that I don't like. I think that sometimes I wish that there were slightly more detailed docs for pipelines, but there are other examples online that helped me through any issues I have had.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The issue of being able to leverage the power of Git in a secure space. GitHub can't be hosted on-prem and operate completely separately from the outside world.

Simply the best git repository

  • December 08, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used multiple git repositories, such as bitbucket and GitHub, but GitLab is by far the best one because it does not impose any commit size limit.
It also provides massive 15 GB of storage in the free plan, which no other git repository offers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes but not often, its server goes down and shows a bad gateway error: HTTP 500 error. And it should, by default, deselect the delete branch option while creating a merge request.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using GitLab, I can manage multiple projects with ease; it also is beneficial in real-time deployment, they best part is we can webhook the server for auto-deployment whenever the main branch is updated.

GitLab is a great DevOps platform

  • November 30, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is an excellent DevOps platform for software developers. Using GitLab, we can handle our whole development-to-deployment cycle.
GitLab allows storing our code in repositories. We can create a code deployment life cycle. It is free and open-source.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though GitLab is free and open-source, it charges a high cost for many enterprise features. Dashboards need improvements; they should show analytics. Other things are good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitLab for my software development and deployment. I use Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) for my clients for their development and deployment. It provides free repositories to store our code. It has good branching management. I can use git from the command line to manage the code.


    aws and gitlab fanboy

After trying several other roll-your-own methods, this one worked for me

  • November 29, 2022
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I don't understand the problems other folks had getting this thing going. Just a thought... if you can't make this work, you shouldn't be in DevOps anyway.

I've been using this AMI for a few years now. I had massive permissions trouble upgrading from the previous release based on Ubuntu 18.x bionic to the one based on 20.x focal. I was able to get it fixed up though, and we've been solid since.


    Computer Software

Lot of features and very easy to use

  • November 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Creating branches and merging requests.
CI/CD pipeline.
Ticketing and review system.
Private V/S Public repository system.
Code Quality Reports.
Team collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited plugin support.
UI is a little bit slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am keeping my code securely in one of the private repositories in GitLab. I can access my code from anywhere and work. Also working in a team environment is very helpful we can get code pushed by others in real time.

Best Agile Enterprise planning tool

  • November 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab software's ability to integrate with various third-party applications is the most prominent aspect. It ultimately allows users to design a simple ecology utilising its modification choices rapidly.
Gitlab helps our organisation shorten the software lifecycle time and thus improves efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's an excellent tool for designers and developers, but the application design can be enhanced to make it extra attractive and user-friendly. Understanding how to use it effectively may require a bit of time, but once you understand and utilise it, it becomes a powerful tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation, improved transparency, and progress assessment skills are necessary to eliminate mistakes made by employees in our organization on big and convoluted initiatives. GitLab is an open-source system that provides source code administration, simultaneous assembly and distribution, analytics, and project governance capabilities to application development groups.

Good but is not very intuitive

  • November 22, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All the git features are available and good ui. Creation of merge requests are good. Also has seamless integration with Pipelines. Still not competitive with bitbucket or github
What do you dislike about the product?
Code reviews are tedious tadks here. Doesn't have filetype baded filtering. Also the code review pane is over kill. Even branch deletion fails sometimes for private clouds
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is an Source Code Management tool. Which is a git client. And support all git functionality. It helps managing source code. Also have jenkins pipelines setup that eases the pipeline prosess.
