What do you dislike about the product?
The only aspect I find annoying is user management. We authenticate using AD and I wished it would allow role based mapping via AD group membership. Right now, I need to wait for someone to sign in and then they need to manually join the groups and projects they need/want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use GitLab to control our infrastructure as code, scripts, and documentation. We're also beginning to utilize the CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and deployments. The pipeline is much easier to setup than we thought it would be.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We looked into Microsoft Team Foundation Server, but for our purposes of just storing scripts and infrastructure as code, we found GitLab to just be faster and easier to get up and running. GitLab also runs on Git which is a more widely used source control tool.
As far as the setup goes, even if you are not experienced with Linux, it is pretty easy and there is great documentation. The only difficulty may be in getting SSL working, but there is also documentation on that.

Best Tool Ever
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab group all the tools that you love in a single place. You have a git repository, a git browser, git LFS, an issue management system, scrum boards, merge requests, and a beautiful and easy to use CI tool.
And everything is free. But if you need an extra power, you can always pay to have some state of the art support and some other functionalities.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's still a monolithic application. This is in the process of being fixed, but I'm often worried a failure in one component will take out the entire system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is able to streamline our entire development workflow. This allows us to inject standard security and compliance gates, create an audit trail, reduce our toolset, reduce the overhead of managing multiple disparate tools and their integrations, and produce customer value faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a holistic solution with a strategy around devops, then this is the solution you need. It provides a lot of native support for devops collaboration. The company also embodies devops and an open and transparent culture. Their company is 100% remote, and almost all of their internal documentation is published publicly so anyone can search it and submit changes back. This includes all of their HR documentation. I highly value the culture of a company when I'm evaluating doing business with someone, and this company ticks all the boxes for a strong culture fit with my company.
Great for large projects, private repos, CI builds, and tight control of the Git environment

Keeping all of our projects organized online in the cloud so that we can collaborate. Our other option was to use Unity3D's Collaborate feature and it definitely doesn't suit our needs
