Powerful and easy GIT collaboration tool

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Almost as powerful as Github is and can be installed on premise for free. Merge request and code reviews are really powerful, allowing to manage a new feature under development as a social network conversation where all the team collaborate with the developer in charge, allowing more robust code to be finally deployed. Webhooks allow easy integration with other tools like CI/CD
What do you dislike about the product?
Some options aren't easy to find, what sometime makes solving an issue slightly confusing.
Protecting branches by default is something that can be confusing at the first time.
Changing ownership of a project is not straightforward.
Managing user permissions can be confising.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development team collaboration and source code management. It is easy to navigate the history code, allow the team review changes and comment about them before merging and to work with many projects and git branches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GitLab have improved a lot in the past two years, becoming a first option when selecting a GIT collaboration and management system. Is a powerful option that can be deployed both on cloud or on premise without compromise. Allowing private repositories is what makes GitLab shine.

My GitLab review

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really liked the efficiency, when committing and using merge requests on source codes you're submitting in. Merge requests are very useful when doing peer reviews. Additionally, it allows other Developers to make any necessary changes within merge requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Part of what I disliked about using the GitLab is submitting all merge requests in one branch at once. It is because it creates major merge conflicts with other source code changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a User Interface for the Client. I realized that its beneficial because of the efficiency and how effective peer reviews are in GitLab.

Open Source Github

  • July 11, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is an online or on-premisses github alternative with some unique features and a continuously evolving software. It has monthly release cycle, which means that every month you get new features. If you have the opportunity to use it locally, you're able to make it public or private (just for your collaborators). You can control individual, group and project permissions. You can also have public and private projects. Most of the features you might be used to on Github are available on Gitlab.

With the somewhat recent integration with Gitlab CI, you can automate tests and deployments to staging or production.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gitlab has some unique features, but some are restricted to the Enterprise Edition, which can quickly get expensive for a small team of 3 or 4 developers.

Gitlab uses Ruby on Rails so it needs a comfortable amount of hardware resources or it will feel slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing software even on a small group of developers can get messy without a proper version control system. Gitlab allows you to create projects and groups of developers, assign permissions (even for external users like clients which could just look at the issue tracker), protect code branches, enforce peer review.

Also, with some effort you can enable a Continuous Deployment environment.
