Gitlab is Awesome.
What do you like best about the product?
The speed at which features and updates come out is great. The deployment pipelines are flexible and powerful. The interface ticks all the right boxes, intuitive, powerful, and clean.
What do you dislike about the product?
We do sometimes have issues where jobs will rerun for what seems like no real reason. This is probably very likely because we have something configured incorrectly but it's hard to say because the documentation in this area (the pipelines) seems to be a little scarce. We also sometimes see performance issues when multiple jobs are running, from time to time you will have to wait to get results from the pipeline tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab has allowed us to improve collaboration. It provides us the extremely important repository for source code that every developer needs. Gitlab and Puppet work very well together providing flexibility we need to deploy our code quickly and efficiently. Gitlab also provides us a convenient way for other teams to view our code securely and easily.

Gitlab - git collaboration tool for your team
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to deploy Gitlab on your personal servers, and it work like a charm out of the box. Gitlab becomes a free tool, as you can take the tool and install it on your private servers. This is a great deal to have total control of the disasters that can happen in the cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI/UX of the current version is not that great. The other competitors like Github or Bitbucket, they are doing great to adopt more users, because of the very nice UI. I think is this is improved, certainly more people will start using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly research projects, side projects, small softwares, and to backup old projects. Free private repos is the best benefit !

My favorite Git version control
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about GitLab is the features that allow software development from start to finish. It allows users to easily implement an agile product development style through their issue tracking. They add in new features all of the time! And the website is always changing so it never gets boring to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
They keep adding features to their product, which is awesome, but can be a bit overwhelming for new users. They've done a good job at mapping everything out, but I feel there should be an option to only show key features as opposed to the entire suite of features. It would make it easier for new users to get used to and find the main features, and, once they're comfortable, they may be able to explore more features by seeing the entire suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as a tool to develop, test, build and deploy our projects using an agile product management style. So, we use most of all the features building open source solutions using GitLab to house the source code.

I have used Gitlab since the project born and today is a complete recommended option for Developers.
What do you like best about the product?
Pipelines for Unit Testing, e2e, CI, CD, private repositories and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
May need more working examples of real project setup for CI, CD.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing, Privacy, and Security, at no cost, allow to growth from ground.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, it is a great free tool with all the toys to start experimenting with CI, CD, Testing.
Great for tracking projects across dispersed teams
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab allows us to manage milestones, track issues, create individual due dates, and easily assign team members accordingly. Managing merge requests and commits from the UI makes for quick work. This truly is Git on steroids!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have used the Enterprise Edition Premium while subcontracting for large-scale projects and found it is a bit pricey, but still worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to streamline and organize projects like never before. We are able to do this with a team spread all over the country, but work as communicatively, efficiently and effectively as if we were in the same room.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GitLab is great for teams both small and large. The features, scalability, and easy-of-use are far superior to other repo management tools out there.
Easing a necesity
What do you like best about the product?
the inline merge conflict resolution, though it is hard to make appear
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of a thing that I would change, or that negatively impacts my git experience in this tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version Control Systems are a requirement for my industry, and git is the flavor of choice. Gitlab makes peer review and organization of this much easier.
Works well for document control
What do you like best about the product?
I like that GitLab is open source and can be set up as a private server on our company's intranet. The UI is also simple enough for non-technical members of our team to easily use, but contains all of the features we need. Creating repositories is simple, as is tracking changes. In short, it does all of the basics of what we need it to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
While we use GitLab for a non-standard purpose (version control of documentation). This means that there are no native tools or plugins to let us comp Word documents. I was able to resolve this issue by writing a program to do so, but in terms of plug-and-play, it was a bit disappointing. Installing GitLab was initially a bit of a hassle because of our network settings; we are a branch office and needed to contact corporate to modify some firewall and network settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we have solved with GitLab is keeping track of the most up-to-date versions of a dizzying number of documents. Because using out-of-date documentation has in the past caused critical errors in deployment, GitLab has helped us immeasurably.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't overlook GitLab if you need version control for non-code text/documentation.
Gitlab Makes Development Streamlined
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is a git repository that makes keeping track of code changes easy. The biggest benefit is that it can be self-hosted. The one thing that sets git lab apart from the rest is that it allows for personal contribution to the development efforts. There is also new features being released constantly which makes it easy to keep up with some of the larger repo systems our there. Gitlab also make it easy to manage at an organization level. This means that I can set up repos or groups and have people set up with very specific access.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not to many things I can think of. Probably the biggest issue is that gitlab can be behind on some features compared to other repo systems. Not all of the more know features in some of the other repo systems out there may not have been considered as important and worth the development effort. The other thing that I dislike is that there does not seem to be nearly as many integrations available as there are with other repos like Github.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab provides a method to keep accurate change management across code and database development. It also provides a way to log issues and keep track of development todos. The last major benefits is that it creates a centralized way track code and its history.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The self-hosted version is great, though if you do not have the infrastructure or hardware available to host your own version, the subscription version is a nice alternative.
