GitLab - Review

  • April 04, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is the best version control option for private and organizations. It offers amazing features like the access control levels which some of its competitors do not have. Collaboration/sharing code is super easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up and using GitLab is slightly more time consuming than its competitors, the UI can definitely be improved to cater to more novice/new users. Ci/CD runners are another one of those areas, where GitLab can definitely improve
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is just the perfect solution when your needs involve, custom access rights and more personalized collaboration. Maintaining code is a breeze, and its no wonder that organizations would prefer GitLab over its competitors for the unique features that only GitLab provides

A secure and productivity enhancing code repository

What do you like best about the product?
This tool increases the efficiency of a developer by showing where we are supposed to be actually. It shows where are we lagging behind. And on top of this it provides top notch secure storage.
What do you dislike about the product?
This tool simply lacks some essential features when comparing them with competitors. The menus are a bit complex to workaround for a beginner. Sometimes it takes a while to show the code error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using this for delivery and to track the progress of my small projects which essentially don't require advanced features. It is fairly light application and the storing process is fast and effective.

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is one of the most widely used source control management tools available right now. It is complete, stable and does not require local hosting. It is also the largest home to open source communities on the Internet.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found any drawbacks with GitLab yet. Content and project security is a concern, but I'm sure you have a good reputation for managing them with your firewalls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to GitLab, we can manage our large code base seamlessly, integrating a CI/CD pipeline with ease. I have trained over 3000 students on GitLab and used it for multiple clients with no issues and it is one of the most seamless products of its kind.

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is secure, improves collaboration, and is free most of the time. Easy to use basic feature set. Milestones address any difficulties that are preventing the project from moving forward. What I like about GitLab is the integration. Very easy to use tools and very intuitive interface.

There is no major feature that we can point to and say is bad. Although sometimes organizing an icon can be difficult for first time users.

GitLab Dev experience

  • March 17, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is best in terms of managing code. The best part is even if a developer commits the code then they have to send a request to merge their code to the main branch. This helps prevent unnecessary check-ins to the main branch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrating it with Visual Studio is not easy compared to TFS. There are different extensions and sometimes it causes issues while committing the code via Visual studio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used GitLab to develop our client's project using its other features like comparing the code. Checking the history and finally creating different branches for different modules.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are planning to use GitLab then I would recommend you to understand ut from scratch. Like how your existing project can be migrated and how to set up a pipeline. If you simply try to learn how to commit the code and set up a new branch then you may struggle a bit. Once you understand code migration to Gitlab from scratch then it will be a piece of cake for you.

My Development experience with GitLab

  • March 15, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is an open-source software project and has free version limited options. If a developer at a beginner or a self programmer free plan also helps a lot to make the development environment perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are working with a team or a large company free plan does not enough, need to go with a paid plan. GitLab paid too expensive comparing some other services. Sometimes if you go with a premium plan its features might not be enough for you to handle your project requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our startup company needed a VCS and DevOps platform to work collaboratively with team members. When comparing other available services we selected GitLab, because its free version also provides perfect features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have been using GitLab for 5 years now. So far it provided the best quality services. So my experience I recommended if you want Devops and VCS software GitLab is the best option. You can use it freely without any cost with limited features. But if you want you can go with a premium version with all the features.
