GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
We are just implementing and trying this product out so far the feature that stands out the most is the integration service GitLab CI which can run automated tests after each commit and also automated staging deployments once those tests have run successfully. This is very useful for our testing servers and saves us lots of time since we do not have to manually do this process every time. It basically comes with all the functionality of git which we use at our company which is great. We started using issue tracking which is useful for pointing out bugs in the software so the right developer can fix it.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is a bit clunky for users, to many clicks for simple tasks. Mattermost is the choice integrated chat, I would rather have slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to pull all our processes together into one platform (Version control, issue tracking, planning, automatic builds, code reviewing). We realized GitLab does fill some requirements but I feel GitHub is the better option.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out its cost effective public installation on https://gitlab.com/
Lower cost, yet full featured, alternative to GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to integrate with a CI platform like Jenkins using webhooks, which is great for getting feedback on the results of a build as merge requests are updated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its interface can be buggy at times. For example, the worker process that updates the status of merge requests and commits in the background, when overloaded, can take a few seconds to catch up, so you might see inconsistencies locally versus what is displayed in the GitLab UI. Also, some parts of the interface are difficult to work with, and some forms will reset your information when changing certain fields (such as when creating a merge request and changing the target branch).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used GitLab as an alternative source control management system to Perforce because Git can be easier to work with and GitLab is cheaper than some of the other enterprise Git hosting solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your organization can afford it, you might want to trial GitHub, as it is a more widely adopted solution and I've found that the UX is much more pleasant.
