More personal than github

  • September 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its our own system now, it is not like we use Github in a common space, we lay by our rules here.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, it has been built as a copy of Github and some features are not ready yet or have been developed lately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our code are now in private repositories with a complex permission system.

Awesome tool for VCS

  • August 14, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that they provide an enterprise edition and a community edition that is free unlike the enterprise one. You can host it yourself and be the only one that is responsible for the hosting. The user interface is great; simple, clear and intuitive for both developer and other users. It's well engineered and updated often.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features that some might think are essential are not in the community edition
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can host the code of any of our projects using Git and setup continuous integration pipelines for code that is reviewer by other developers easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's recommended that you host it yourself, you will have a better time and if you got the spare space for running Gitlab on your servers it's a no brainer.

The Best Tool for CI/CD and more

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab's interface is one-of-a-kind. It's really a great looking UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing that I dislike. Gitlab is all about how you "use" the tool. Our team uses almost every single part of functionality that Gitlab offers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for continuous integration/deployment.
We run all of our pipelines through it.
We also it for our daily standups. It has the best Kanban board that you can have. The labels/tags make it easy to track tickets/issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it! It's the best tool for dev teams hands down. I've worked with it at several companies, and I can guarantee that you will love it and not want to use any other dev tool (even github). The only downside I can see is that it doesn't link to your github repo, which is often times what companies look at. It would be nice to showcase your daily commits on your public github repo from gitlab. Obviously there is a conflict of interest there, so that will probably never happen.

When it comes to dev teams, Gitlab really helps boost productivity and provide an-all-in-one place for devs to track issues, fix bugs, and talk about problems. Gitlab has great slack integration too, and I would recommend using them together. Finally, Gitlab's pipeline let's us run all of our testing suite inside of it. It's nice to just have everything "work" so seamlessly. Gitlab makes it really easy for devs to be able to focus on fixing issues and not managing the tool itself. Thanks Gitlab team!!

Fantastic all-in-one source control

  • July 12, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab CI is a revolutionary CI, no need to connect multiple services together (ex. Github & Travis CI). The flexibility of the different types of CI runners (SSH, docker, etc) allows users to customize the experience to their needs. Another advantage of Gitlab over its competitors is the unlimited free private repositories as well as the free CI, you do need to wait for a public runner to be available which makes it hard to debug but its free.
What do you dislike about the product?
CI documentation is confusing, the documentation is all over the place, it is updated but hard to find what you want. Although free, you might have to wait several hours before your CI starts, worth paying if needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On-site deployed source control management as well as a reduction in the integration of multiple programs such as GitHub with Travis CI or Jenkins.

Best Open Source Code Repository Application

  • June 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is one of the most user friendly open source code repository application in the market. The UI is so aesthetically pleasing and so easy to use. Allows you to create/manage/share your code base with ease. Creating branches out of your repository is the most easiest with GitLab. Allows you to review code with ease. And tracking of check-ins is made way easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The future for GitLab looks a little uncertain after Microsoft's takeover. I hope it still remains as on open source application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing of code base and it's numerous branches became easy when we moved from SVN to GIT. Developers are allowed to fork out their own branches out the master branch and make their own changes which when approved and reviewed merged back into the master. The going of back and forth action for code review was greatly reduced. Time saving for sure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Saves time, Clutter free and great way to manage code base.

Free private repos on gitlab.com and self-hosted option for added code protection
What do you dislike about the product?
Public repos aren't as easy to search as GitHub
