Everything I need in source code control, collaboration, and project management
What do you like best about the product?
Git compatibility, self-hosting, issue tracking, and a postgres back end I can use for my production server to allow everything that matters to my business to be backed up on a single database server instance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly there is nothing that I don't like about GitLab. I am only jealous that I don't work for them, the largest 100% remote company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitLab for source code control, issue tracking, project management, and collaboration in my self-funded pronunciation remediation startup.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you can handle letsencrypt certificates.
Perfect solution for could and on premise Devops tool
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is a perfect toolbox for full development cycle support. Constant updates and features make it the best solution on the market. Monitoring, development, configuring and deployment of code are very simple and easy to use. Full integration with Kubernetes allowed us to maintain 24/7 availability of our services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gitlab is not the most popular public repository of code, so our open-source products will still be published on GitHub.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One year ago we have started using Docker for deployment, and gitlabCI was a perfect choice. Combining code reviews functionalities wit static code analysis has significantly improved the quality of our code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to maintain the best quality of code, implement automatization of your work and host your code on your own servers Gitlab is the best solution on market
Good version control to small teams who needs private repositories
What do you like best about the product?
I like the Gitlab CI/CD (awesome native feature) and free private repositories.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a history of work (that green squares like Github) and you don't have a lot of integrations, community and "explore" section.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am developing a project which needs to be private (we have 10 members) and we only have a free account, so Gitlab was the best option this time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gitlab has good options for CI/CD inside the website. You don't have to use external tools for this task depending on the requirements.
A Git reporsitory manager tool that has rapidly evolving towards a end-to-end DevOps life-cycle tool
What do you like best about the product?
1. Powerful and simple UI. Has specially become more convenient with the Web-IDE
2. The evolving features like CI-CD / Review Apps are a great step towards making it a self sufficient DevOps tool providing CM, CI , CD.
3. In built Peer review is very intuitive and effective.
4. Fast releases and features being added at a fast pace.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Need some stickiness in UI. For example moving from one tab to other would often reset the UI to master branch. This have made me create some bad check-ins to wrong branch.
2. Git analytics can be more powerful. Currently it shows limited data about Contributor, Changes etc.
3. Project management aspect (task /issues / boards ) is not too powerful. Either it should be built comprehensively or move out into a new product.
4. CI-CD Pipeline does not have a support of plugin extensions, which makes it weaker in comparison to Jenkins pipelines.
5. Licensing was a little confusing for me.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
One should for sure move to Gitlab. Gitlab CE provides almost all the basic features required for DevOps lifecycle. Next step can be evaluate and adapt to the enterprise editions
Gitlab
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful geafure is gitlab ci that helps to run CI/CD stages wtih ease
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldnt find any freautre or thing that I dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using gitlab for everything like project managment, knowledge base(wiki), and so on
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the gitlab CI and gitlab registry
Powerful team collaboration tool for managing software development projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to immediately bring people into a conversation on a discussion thread just by tagging their name. I like that there's issue tracking, documentation, and a code repository all in one spot for my projects. I also really like the ability for each team member to fine tune their notification levels so they aren't spammed by every change happening to every issue/ticket all day long.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was a bit of an initial learning curve to being able to really use Gitlab effectively, that is perhaps just the nature of the beast, however. Fully searchable comment threads would also be useful but that's not a current feature (looks like it's on the roadmap though!) Aside from that, while I like that Gitlab uses markdown, I feel like the editor window itself is less than stellar if you're relying on it to help format your page, particularly if an individual is less familiar with markdown. Some sort of pop out quick reference guide might be of more use than the editor as currently prescribed. Several of my colleagues have gotten frustrated attempting to format items thinking that the editor will function as a WYSIWYG, which it does not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We develop software projects utilizing the scrum methodology with a geographically distributed team of people. GitLab allows us to maintain a repository of our codebase and work as a cohesive team through code review, merge requests, easy issue refinement, and weighting all while working towards our current milestone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Git has become an industry standard as a code repository. GitLab is an incredibly powerful tool for managing internal software projects. I would highly recommend giving GitLab a good trial run to see how it can fit into your development workflow.
the perfect alternative for github
What do you like best about the product?
simple platform, intuitive use. If you know how to use github, you can use this platform too. It's the best choice for your team code, because you can have private developments easier than github.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's down, but you can work at your local codeand wait it's up again, it isn't a big bug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a good version control tool and I always need a remote copy of my code for a lot of purposes. I code closely code for a lot of clients, so it's easy for me get a version of code and make a few changes for other client.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a good control version tool and it's terms are designed for companies who needs private developments.
Great experience coming from other DevOps products
What do you like best about the product?
The greatest thing about Gitlab is the ease of use and versatility to run over various platforms. It is being used by a number of large companies in all different industries today. It provides a seamless integration with any system. The user interface enables Gitlab users to access everything from one screen: projects, latest projects. Milestones allow users to set milestones at a group level, rather than just a developer-specific level.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main issue with GitLab is its UII. Various functions seem to be hidden within obscure menus and hidden drop-downs. Not too much of a problem once you're used to it, but for new users, its a real issue. The comment system isn't great, for some reason GitLab stores any and all edits that are made, meaning even the slightest change to a pull / merge comment is stored.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Portfolio Management, Project Management: Issues, Issue Boards, Issue Weights, Labels, Milestones, and burndown charts.
Source Code Management, Continuous Integration (CI): Pipeline, CI Runner, Jobs, Scheduled Jobs, Testing, Security Scanning (SAST), and Code Quality.
Continuous Delivery: Partial Deploys, and Feature Flags.
Application Configuration Management: Application Monitoring.
Integration - SCM(GitHub), CI: Integrations with Jenkins, Circle CI, Bamboo or other CI servers. CD: Integrations with common CD tools such as Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Jenkins and others.

Gitlab is Great
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab as compared to GitHub has built in CI/CD. You do not have to rely on other software like TravisCI, but can easily do everything with one configuration file. Also you are able to host Gitlab internally.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I can think of that I dislike, besides a few minor style choices for the UI that I think GitHub does a little better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab allows for easy storage, and sharing of code needed for various parts of the project. It also makes it easy to create repositories for shared code that is common to many parts of the project.
