The very strong brand/ working culture is working in the favour of GitLab against GitHub

  • April 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is better and CI/CD is way more robust. GitLab has also got a great working culture ("remote is the future of work" for sure!) and a very strong brand, and good communication and presence on various platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I can't really complain. Maybe they could have a Windows installer?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Source code repository, QA checking through Pull Requests and Issue management.
The benefit is that everything one place.

Outstanding platform for DevOps development

  • March 03, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab provides just about everything that software development team would need to develop according to DevOps principles. I love that they're continuing to roll out innovative functionality to make it a truly end-to-end tool. It's so much easier than trying to maintain a gaggle of separate services.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab's pricing at the highest end is pretty insane, and some of their truly interesting features, like static analysis, are stuck there. It would be nice if it had a system for sending out alerts based on certain events - similar to Phabricator's "Herald" system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started off on the IT team at a software development company. Our developers had cobbled together a complicated workflow comprised of many tools. We wanted something more straightforward for our needs, and GitLab was it.

We've been able to do things with GitLab that even our software engineers haven't been able to do with their more traditional workflow - with a big focus on CI/CD pipelines courtesy of GitLab CI.

I'm hoping to eventually convince them to switch over to GitLab.

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab enables and secures information backup. It helps to monitor the progress of the project. Efficiently cooperates and shares. Gets quick and easy user interface to grasp what's next. Jenkins CI / CD interface is easy. It's nice to build a click repository and branch. One of the great features of the branch is the branch lock mechanism, which can not be passed to other developers. He has a task manager for himself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Further free ideas can be saved in the storage space. I notice no other gitlab annoyance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is awesome and easy to integrate Gitlab with others. It works with a minimum instrument. We can create a token, and this token has its own read-write permission. Gitlab CI / CD implementation is excellent. Configuring notification is easy to set up. Gitlab is freely used most importantly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best way to manage projects but you need to purchase a paid version if you want to store numerous projects.

I fell in love with gitlab

  • November 26, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
In my work as a freelancer GitLab is an excellent tool to keep an order of each project that I carry out, each feature of this software is very important for all users, because we can import and export a project at the time we want and it will always be updated to the Most recent version that we have endorsed, the characteristics that I like the most is to be able to create branches of the same project in order to keep an order of the step by step I give.
GitLab is very simple to use once you know how to work with git, this being the most important thing today for anyone working in the development area.
It is very interesting to be able to create task panels where I can divide the workload into sections and these panels can name and assign people in case of working in groups.
I really like being able to integrate gitlab to softwares like Smargit or gitkraken making the use of git easier than having to do everything by command in the terminal.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been working with gitlab for 4 years and I have always had the pleasure of working at ease because I know that my projects are safe on your servers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teamwork as a freelance worker is very easy to do because you can take an order and each colleague works individually with the branch assigned to him
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For me, Gitlab is the best version controller that I can have and what I can recommend 100% after working so many years with the

Implementation and maintaining things is very great.

  • November 18, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
When I work as a software developer, I used gitLab. The features that draw me are: I get different access levels (guest, creator, master) when working on projects. That's fine, I guess. In comparison to GitHub, it is a bonus that can be granted role-based access in Gitlab. For design activities and the visual analysis of the participation of individuals, analytics and graphics are available. Developing projects and handling tasks such as GitHub are sponsored.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's nice and helpful. As such, I consider no restrictions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is a good tool to handle the design of the project life cycle. Test the progress and keep track of changes in history. Donation or revocation of the authority to workers involved in the development of the plan. It offers good GUI and useful analysis on the development of a project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth buying it. Worth buying it. The use of it as a project development management tool will be a good experience.
