The best SCM tool used ever

  • July 23, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The bestest thing i liked in gitlab is their CI/CD pipeline functionality. It have my life easier in creating CI/CD pipeline for deployment on firebase and other platforms as respected. Other than that all of tools available in gitlab which differs from other scm tools are also up to the point sich as webhooks for triggering pipelines of jenkins is also the best thing i tested and worked on in gitlab.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing find anything to dislike. One thing can make it more better is that you have to go premium if you want to give specific person permission to push or merge code.if they allow free users also that would be great for all gitlab users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I completed my task which was assigned to me to create pipelines for firebase for deployment whenever developer pushes the code this was my first experience with gitlab. And from then i just loved using gitlab for day to day tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to create pipelines free and dont want to use any Public cloud vm for ci/cd then gitlab is what you need.

Gitlab is such an essential tool for us that every employee, not just engineers, work with it daily

  • July 05, 2021

What do you like best about the product?
We've been using Gitlab CE for ~5 years. I initially chose to migrate to GitLab from GitHub because of its, then unique, offering of built-in CI/CD functionality with the ability to use one's own servers as runners which was much more flexible and cost-effective compared to other alternatives. Since then, Gitlab has evolved, each month bringing new functionalities and improvements.

Initially, it was mainly used by our engineers/developers writing code, with a couple of other people using GitLab's issue tracker. All engineers/developers loved it immediately, with its unified simple interface to manage git repos, issue trackers, and CI/CD pipelines.

Sysops was the next logical step. By moving shell scripts, ansible/chef/puppet, docker files, helm charts etc to GitLab and authoring pipelines for their build, execution, and deployment, management of our entire infrastructure was now documented, automated and revision-controlled.

At pretty much the same time, our company was struggling with what, at first glance, seemed like a completely unrelated issue: We had to maintain and constantly update extensive official documentation, like Software Product Technical Files, our Quality Management System, internal procedures, and a plethora of other documents. These are essentially very large, mostly-text, files or collections of files that need to be version-controlled while any changes to them need to be reviewed and approved under strict policies. And effectivily managing them in Google Docs was quickly becoming untenable. It was then that, being a software company, we noticed the similarities between the requirements of handling such documentation and handling software code. We ported all these documents to GitLab, organized in a few projects containing several markdown files. Git provides us with a clear audit log of all changes. All employees use Gitlab's Merge Requests and its integrated simple editor or web IDE to propose changes to these documents. Changes can be discussed by everyone and merged/approved by authorized personnel. Automated CI/CD pipelines build the documentation files in PDFs and websites deployed via GitLab Pages.

We now also create GitLab Projects for several work projects, even if there's no coding required. They may contain issue trackers or wikis and help to organize, gather and share information. And this way, GitLab is now our most essential tool, used daily by every member of our team.

And please note the fact that all this is by using the free and open-source edition of GitLab, not its more feature-rich paid edition.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's honestly nothing I dislike about GitLab, I'm very happy with it. A dark them was a long-standing request of mine, but it has now been taken care of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development, project management, documentation management, single tool used by the entire company

Best business git repository management

  • May 31, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The self-managed version of GitLab lets you control your repository management the way you need. It has so many functionalities that allow your company to customize your repository management securely. I love the kanban integration and especially all the CI/CD that it has. It makes my job much more manageable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes some of the bugs take longer to fix but is nothing that you can get a workaround for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's the tool we use to manage all of our repositories at the company. I've been able to streamline the entire process of deploying the applications with its powerful CI/CD integration.

GitLab : More than version controlling

  • May 03, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notification alert, cherry-pick, Generate Merge request and assign to superior, add comments and many more features provided by GitLab.
GitLab is easy to configure with CI/CD pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using GitLab for more than 3 years but till now I could not find any issue with this feature-rich tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My whole team was able to work on the same feature using GitLab. Also, the peer code review feature allowed us to solve several issues before we integrate with the Master branch. Moreover, we have done security penetration testing using the Application Security Testing tool. We have been using this tool as a primary security validation process because it provides a holistic view of our security profile.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This tool is an essential component of our security hardening and validation procedures.

Good for small companies and hobby developers

  • February 22, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the full functionality which is available even for the free plan. Besides the must have code hosting support, you can configure runners and build jobs. Register your own server to build and deploy your product, so for hobby developers and small companies it is the universal solution for the first years.
What do you dislike about the product?
The website for mobile is not optimised at all, so if you get the notification that your build failed, it is hard to check the result from your mobile. It also has a tricky login button location from mobile, so that part what they could put focus on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are hosting our entire code base on GitLab and also using the CI/CD for building and deploying the application.
