The best frontend for managing internal repositories

  • January 13, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When a project is employee-only it is just best to have it behind a system that only allows access by single sign-on and separate from the main public repository until it is ready to become live or discarded. This means no accidental pushes to the wrong remote branch or mistakenly making it public since it works in a completely different system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some projects that eventually get canned are actually very good but since its outside of the public eye they just get forgotten and no chance that someone else takes over them and if you are planning to go job hunting since the commits are private that means that no exposure to potential employers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is our internal tool for managing git projects before they go to GitHub
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The public version of Gitlab is not bad, but there are better options, but the actual system can be mounted separately and work as a private repository for repositories, and that it is actually great in an enterprise.

A great tool for private and public repositories

  • January 08, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For open source it's my second favorite tool after Github, for code in an enterprise it's my favorite tool, for anything that is not highly confidential it's the best tool since it can be easily hosted inside an organization and shared companywide without fear of sharing things that should not be shared or worrying about the platform being hacked by an outside attacker.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a really nice tool for anything that isn't too important, but for code that is critical for product functionality and protected as a trade secret is not an option, it is flexible and very useful with many features, and a system with a lot of features is harder to fully secure. It is a tradeoff I would love to use this for all our internal code, but the possibility of an internal attacker increases with a tool as open and feature rich as GitLab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my company code that is not highly confidential goes into GitLab.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep your GitLab implementation besides a company intranet and you'll fend against 90% of the attackers.

Best DevOps Platform for managing Project Repositories

  • January 07, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing that I like about GitLab is that it is open source. Moreover it offer unlimited private repositories without limitation of contributors, when compared to GitHub. GitHub offers only 3 contributors to private repositories. It also supports continuous integration, delivery and integration with Jira. It also supports import using Git. It also supports different programming languages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing that I hates most about the GitLab is it's UI. It may be attractive for many of you guys, but I love the GitHub interface rather than GitLab interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me to keep a centralized repository for my projects. It also helped me and my friends to work on the same project from different places. Since it is open source, I believe it more than anything. GitLab helped me to organize all my projects in a proper manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
From my point of view, if your organization is looking for a place where all the repositories can be organized without having any doubt regarding the platform, then you should opt for GitLab. Since it is an open source platform, we can trust it more than anything.

One of the best existing tool to manage projects

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is really a full automated service covering all the stages of theproject life cycle It helps you increase your productivity , with unlimited repository and good visbility and track of your overall Projects.

I find the interface super easy to use , and the tutorial is pretty complete. The biggest advantage of Gitlab is the community behind that is always willing to assist you .

Integrating the CI/CD part is really helpful to manage different pipelines and the Merge requests are super easy to use in the platform.

Tracking conflicts and resolving them is also . Submiting tickets , creating issues , assigning them and set deadlines.

In general between Securtiy , Subversion , code management and DevOps Tools , I think that Gitlab meet every compagny requirements
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike in Gitlab.

I would rather say that they're some points that can be improved. like optimizing services to run faster especially for the DevOps use. Sometimes the pipelines can take forever.

Managing Groups can be tricky as well , sometimes you have to manually join groups and projects together. The graphic repository can be improved too
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Gitlab mostly everyday in our company.

It helps us monitor all our softwars , tools and tracking subversions. The code collaboration looks pretty easy now since we start using Gitlab . Code Reviews and Merge requests are easy to manage through the interface.

As part of the DevOps Team , the CI/CD platform creating automated flows
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It might look expensive as a solution for small business , the free Gitlab version is pretty good as well .

For big teams and multiple projects management there's no better solutions than using Gitlab ( users permissions , merge requests, code reviews and subversions) It covers the entire software development process

If your company uses DevOps to manage their softwares lifecycle. You should definitely move to Gitlab it's highly recommended

Gitlab : A professional collaboration tool

  • November 02, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
It is a very good Version Control Repository Management service. Because of it's very easy to use and user friendly interface it becomes first choice for people who are new to version control.
It provides many feature but some of the features that I like are:
1) Providing read or write access of any repository to any individual is very easy.
2) It provides access at multiple level based on role that you are giving to the user ex developer, owner etc.
3) Conflict resolution interface is very good and can be done manually as well as with the suggestion that it provides.
4) A process can be created for creating issues in Gitlab under each repository, fixing it, getting it reviewed and then finally merged by the individual having appropriate access.
5) One of the major advantage with Gitab is that DevOps can integrate its CICD pipeline with it very easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I disliked but still If have to tell something where it can be improved then below are those points:
1) If any notification can be sent to the person to which any merge request is assigned then that can be very useful feature.
2) If some themes can be provided that will also be very useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Gitlab to manage our code in repository with many people working on it with different access. Also we have integrated that repository with CICD pipeline for deployments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a very good tool for Version Control Management. I will recommend this as it is having very easy to use interface for merge request and access provisions.

Gitlab -- The best CI platform available today

  • September 22, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
So gitlab is great because it does everything and integrates with everything and does it well. You can manage development tickets with a large assortment of custom tags and markup. You can watch the same tickets (cards) flow through the Software development life-cycle. There are graphs and visuals to help track these cards through. Once a task is completed by development it's merged via GIT of course and the merge is super easy to associate with the ticket itself -- because it's all part of the same suite of software. you don't have to worry about hand copying pieces from disparate systems like zoho/jira.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was a little easier to pick specific pre-hooks/post-hooks before code could be merged in. It would be nice for example to enforce a peer code-review prior to being able to merge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now for my favorite part of gitlab -- which is that you can tie in docker images and runners so that you're code is always tested in a clean environment. Gitlab will also then allow these fully build images to be continuously deployed to a test environment or environment of your choosing.
