Great AMI.

  • September 15, 2021
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

Nice app.
Have no idea why others could not find documentation under "Additional Resources" on the AMI page.
HOWTO: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/06/30/how-to-stand-up-gitlab-in-awsmp/

Anyway, it seems like AMI lacks for SSL support.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used azure DevOps for more than two years but am not a fan of it likes GitLab most
1. Gitlab runner/agent - Excellent agent; we incorporated helm and Kubernetes continuous deployment
2. Gitlab pipelines - Support all plugins primarily through a docker container
3. Gitlab webhook triggers your pipelines in few seconds
4. Gitlab repository - we have put all our repositories into it. Secured and protected repository
5. Gitlab ci/cd setting, we can store all our credentials and governance them well
6. Gitlab build engines - no words, building all docker images and pushing to GitLab registry
7. Gitlab registry - docker registry, npm registry, maven registry, helm registry.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once upon a time, it is open-source, now need to pay for service
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have managed our repository, pipelines, ci/cd, access control, all stack holders to sign on deployments through GitLab.

Excellent for Version Control

  • September 11, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used multiple tools in the past four years, but GitLab was one of the best among all.
The thing that makes Gitlab apart from other tools is the great UI.
Its navigation bar shows valuable items for quick navigation.
The UI for diff of the files is one the easiest to interpret and increases productivity.
The charts make it easy to visualize the progress like burnup/burndown charts.
The documentation for implementing the CI/CD is fantastic.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little exprensive.
Lots of feature does confuse the user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitLab in my organization to collaborate with other team members/developers and review the code.

What do you like best about the product?
It's not just a source code repository hosting platform.

It's a DevOps platform bagged with source code repository hosting, Continuous integration, Continuous delivery, Artifact management, Package management, Container register, SAST, Issue tracking and management, Source code vulnerability scanning and much more.

Very good role based access control and isolation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two offerings, Self managed and SaaS one.

Cost of both type of offering are same which I don't like, cost of self managed Gitlab should be less.

There are some resource limitations if we go with SaaS version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting source code repositories.
Build and deployment automation using Gitlab CI.
Managing various DevOps tools server credentials.
Storing container images, Artifacts and Packages (NPM, PyPi, Maben)
Issue tracking.
Deploying web application on Kubernetes clusters.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not just a source code repository hosting platform.

It's a DevOps platform bagged with source code repository hosting, Continuous integration, Continuous delivery, Artifact management, Package management, Container register, SAST, Issue tracking and management, Source code vulnerability scanning and much more.

I strongly recommend to use Gitlab.
It's super valuable.

Great alternative to GitHub with own features

  • September 04, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For me, the main advantage of Gitlab is that it has a more user-friendly interface than GitHub. I can manage all the necessary properties of the repository and CI / CD settings without thinking where to find them and what they mean. The usability is great here.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up access rights for different developers quickly and efficiently is just as problematic here as in GitHub.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Code version control
2. Collaboration of many developers of different directions
3. Issues tracking
4. Effective CI / CD
5. Updates orchestration

I couldn't figure it out

  • September 02, 2021
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I spent a good couple of hours trying to set this up, but I couldn't figure it out. There is an endless number of forms to fill out, menus to navigate, and buttons to press. So I gave up. But ever since then, I've been getting relentlessly spammed by Amazon in relation to this package. I have no idea how to unsubscribe from this.

Decent alternative to Github

  • September 01, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The learning curve for Gitlab is relatively low. If you are familiar with any git operations at all and have used Bitbucket or Github, then you will be right at home. The community version is also free, which is a massive boon to startup founders and individual developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unlike bitbucket, I find that the system becomes slower as you scale. It becomes a bit laggy when you have over 200 developers working on the same repo. It could just be a limitation of the community version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab is the default code repository and version control system in our company. It's great to see all the different repositories consolidated in one platform. This makes it easier for any developers in the organization to share standard code and do peer reviews.
