The best Git server solution around
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab has done an amazing job of building an all-inclusive version control system that integrates many of the tools that we use with Git like CI and chat.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI for GitLab's web application isn't super great. Navigation is a little odd and it's hard to get to things like starting a new repository.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a Git server to host all of the code we write for clients. GitLab has offered limitless platform for hosting that code as well as a CI platform for ensuring the highest quality of our projects.

* Easy to setup using Docker - single docker-compose configuration file, run it and you're done.
* Single-sign-on Integration with LDAP providers such as Active Directory (an enterprise feature available even in the Community Edition!)

* Integration with a number of enterprise applications, notably Slack (and Mattermost) chat servers.
* Version updates religiously released on the 22nd of every month.
* Sensible issue tracking with optional Kanban boards.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is really hard for me to dislike anything about GitLab, especially as I am coming from a place where Microsoft TFS has traditionally been the choice for ALM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is developing a microservices platform for developing containerized composite applications. GitLab's open-source distributed asynchronous programming model fits perfectly with the our development workflows.
Excellent on premises GIT server
What do you like best about the product?
It has a very modern interface, similar to GitHub. Installation is also very easy, and can setup with Active Directory.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had issues integrating with Active directory when we were bought out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed a place to store projects throughout our company, I knew we wanted a GIT server that was easy to use and setup, this helped fill that gap.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the public installation on https://gitlab.com/ and install selfhosted after that.
I host my code with GitLab.com and have in the past run CE on private servers.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that, in addition to being a free version control hosting option, they're a free and open source software community. I also love that gitlab.com offers unlimited free private repositories and SSL for gitlab pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found setup for self-hosted instances to be a little bit difficult and overly complex. Other than that, I don't have a whole lot of issues with Gitlab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it to host both public and private code for personal and professional code. It's allowed me to store code securely and easily without needing to worry about either the cost or the details/hosting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With Github's recent pricing changes for private repositories, the time to try gitlab has never been better. They tend to be really responsive to user requests, in part because it's open source software.
Internal source control tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about gitlab is that it can be hosted on premises and is very easy to setup even for a linux newbie like me. I had it up and running in about an hour or two. It can also import git repositories from other systems making it very easy to migrate to gitlab. The built in diff viewer is also comfortable for making quick code reviews.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest disadvantage of gitlab is probably it's speed. It's not slow but it would be nice if it was faster. Also it would be useful if it could import svn repositories too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab allows us to easily host internal source control without paying a lot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I suggest configuring groups before creating any repositories because moving repositories between groups or renaming groups changes repository url.
Good OSS Github alternative
What do you like best about the product?
With GitLab you have full control over the installation. This may be crucial in closed perimeters where you cannot use hosting like Github Enterprise. I remember the times where the alternatives were Gitosis or Gitolite. Gitlab is a vast improvement.
Also, GitLab offers more stuff, then Github, like out-of-the-box CI, feature rich issue tracker, and, recently, Docker container registry.

What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot recall any major flaws in GitLab. GitLab team is constantly improving it and listens for feedback. As a side effect, GitLab is always on the move and changes frequently (especially UI).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitLab for my private projects. Also, I use it as a backup for Github (thanks to it's mirroring features).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a manageable Git hosting consider using GitLab.
An excellent GitHub alternative for private projects
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab can be seen as an alternative to GitHub but also, it can be seen as a compliment to GitHub. GitLab provides free private repositories for your projects. So, if you are in need of a private repository, GitLab can be a solution.
GitLab, feature-wise, is also on par with GitHub. It has a wiki that you could set up and use for your whole team. GitLab also features web hooks that you can use to integrate it with other online services your team might be using. Design-wise, GitLab is an excellent looking product with an intuitive interface.
As a bonus, GitLab provides a continuous integration feature that is available for use in your projects.

What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab has its flaws. Its user interface can be confusing at times especially when you are already used to similar services such as GitHub.
The sidebar can sometimes feel obstructing to your work and you might feel you would prefer that the sidebar be placed somewhere else. Maybe follow a GitHub style user interface?
When pushing code, you might be using SSH over HTTPS. The pushing speed is okay but when compared to GitHub, it is slower. Sometimes on other networks, you will not be able to push to your private repository.

Version control systems are important. The tech industry uses it and we are no exception. GitLab provides us with a private repository where we can store our code safely.

When considering to use GitLab, remember that you might feel a bit alienated by the interface at first but over time, you will get used to it
Really good "github like" code repository
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very feature complete, free and open-source alternative for github.
Gitlab also has no limit for repositories nor users and have on-premisses installation (for community edition).
The features I use most includes markdown readme project page, per project issue tracking, snippets area flexible repository visibility, merge request discussions, automatic acceptance of merge requests including removing source branch among others.

What do you dislike about the product?
The user experience needs some improvements. Sometimes its is not easy (or not so intuitive) to perform very usual for example searching an user by its login.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hundreds of private repositories for dozens of users containing all company projects.
Consultants also have an special/restricted access to some projects.
