What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab prevents issues on flow and allows us to achieve our desired results. It is a secure platform with a friendly interface;
Even if GitLab is simple to use, it's a big piece of software that can sometimes become slow on the web user interface. Moreover the review system is sometimes not so easy to use compared to other competitors. Hopefully their are great browser extensions that solves this issues;

Recommendations to others considering the product:
In my opinion, this platform is better designed compared with its competitors. I am a long-time user and have witnessed how GitLab continues to enhance its services. It comes with many great features. My favorite part would be its excellent CI/CD section. It can be navigated with ease and it allows for greater flexibility.

Source control for everything
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of GitLab. The web version is also amazing as you can use it for free, unless you need some more advanced feature. However there is the possibility to use it on your own server. I think that is the true power of GitLab.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss the dashboard, like health charts for projects. Also the ui is a bit old school. But I guess it is a subjective opinion. Also it is not well integrated to other source control softwares like sourcetree.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for code hosting. Also experimenting with the Community Edition to run our own server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out CI/CD integration.
Good for small companies and hobby developers
What do you like best about the product?
I like the full functionality which is available even for the free plan. Besides the must have code hosting support, you can configure runners and build jobs. Register your own server to build and deploy your product, so for hobby developers and small companies it is the universal solution for the first years.
What do you dislike about the product?
The website for mobile is not optimised at all, so if you get the notification that your build failed, it is hard to check the result from your mobile. It also has a tricky login button location from mobile, so that part what they could put focus on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are hosting our entire code base on GitLab and also using the CI/CD for building and deploying the application.
Best Code Collaboration Platform For Software Engineering Teams
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab has all the necessary tools helped us manage our software development and deployment processes. Easy to use interface with GUI and Git capabilities, support for CI-CD tools, branches, and runners. Software development is easier as multiple teams can collaborate easily by right permissions and security for private repositories. All the code changes and quality can be easily checked with the correct integrations. Overall a great tool for small to big working software teams to help ship and release the software's easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
The things to dislike would be the fact that Gitlab's pipelines processses are bit slow, after deployment changes are reflected after 10mins, it can be be speed up. Also there is a critical problem when it comes to rebasing and non-mergable commits, sometimes cherrypicking and merging several MR's is a nightmare when someone had to deal with a large repo with multiple teams working at the same time, this process can be improved with some intelligent solutions. Overall othewise, I would say the Gitlabs team works hard to document and give updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Gitlab for all our software repositories for our company. Different teams working at different modules and microservices utilize Gitlab to collaborate, test, maintain and deploy easily. Gitlab has helped in easy management of repos, permissions, containerization of applications and improvise our overall Devops cycle. That giving said we have saved a lot of time and improved software development processes. A centralized place for all our development and devops team has made our products ship and scale faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a complete open source culture for Devops or Orchestration for your Software Engineering Teams, GitLab is a good choice for small to enterprise requirements. As you can easily manage permissions, repo access and setup end-to-end development to deployment processes with GitLab, its easier than ever to deal with code quality and delivery. It has all the integrations and documentations required to enable your team to have quality discussions over the engineering and Devops processes under one roof. So Highly recommended.
One place solution for all of Enterprise code management needs
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab has all code management related features at one place. Apart from repository maintenance and the version control system, it provides
* Extensive CI/CD support (GitLab Runners)
* Issues management through Boards, storing and sharing code snippets.
* It has made code/repo access control across teams and members much easier.
The best part is that all these features are available at a single place and are intuitively accessible. This eliminated context switches between multiple products for issues, CI/CD, docs by providing all of them under one hood.

What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab doesn't have a follow user/member support, this makes it difficult to see a particular user's activity in the activity feed. Although it supports the general repository starring, which allows you to track a repo's activity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitLab for maintaining repositories, CI/CD pipelines, managing issues, configuring access control for my team and group repositories
* GitLab Boards has made code issues management 2x easier, it eliminates the need to switch between multiple products.
* Groups and repos for groups provides granular member access control when compared to other alternatives
* Maintaining & sharing code snippets at group, repo level has rendered effective to seamlessly share code among team members

Very useful and best in its king
What do you like best about the product?
its branching feature, compatibility, opensource, speed, secure
What do you dislike about the product?
it will take some time to get flow into it, sometimes reverting the commit is tedious, commands are little bit tough to remember
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in a concurrent software development team, we use git in parallel code management. we also maintain task, bug in git
The best frontend for managing internal repositories
What do you like best about the product?
When a project is employee-only it is just best to have it behind a system that only allows access by single sign-on and separate from the main public repository until it is ready to become live or discarded. This means no accidental pushes to the wrong remote branch or mistakenly making it public since it works in a completely different system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some projects that eventually get canned are actually very good but since its outside of the public eye they just get forgotten and no chance that someone else takes over them and if you are planning to go job hunting since the commits are private that means that no exposure to potential employers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is our internal tool for managing git projects before they go to GitHub
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The public version of Gitlab is not bad, but there are better options, but the actual system can be mounted separately and work as a private repository for repositories, and that it is actually great in an enterprise.
A great tool for private and public repositories
What do you like best about the product?
For open source it's my second favorite tool after Github, for code in an enterprise it's my favorite tool, for anything that is not highly confidential it's the best tool since it can be easily hosted inside an organization and shared companywide without fear of sharing things that should not be shared or worrying about the platform being hacked by an outside attacker.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a really nice tool for anything that isn't too important, but for code that is critical for product functionality and protected as a trade secret is not an option, it is flexible and very useful with many features, and a system with a lot of features is harder to fully secure. It is a tradeoff I would love to use this for all our internal code, but the possibility of an internal attacker increases with a tool as open and feature rich as GitLab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All my company code that is not highly confidential goes into GitLab.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep your GitLab implementation besides a company intranet and you'll fend against 90% of the attackers.
Best DevOps Platform for managing Project Repositories
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing that I like about GitLab is that it is open source. Moreover it offer unlimited private repositories without limitation of contributors, when compared to GitHub. GitHub offers only 3 contributors to private repositories. It also supports continuous integration, delivery and integration with Jira. It also supports import using Git. It also supports different programming languages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one thing that I hates most about the GitLab is it's UI. It may be attractive for many of you guys, but I love the GitHub interface rather than GitLab interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helped me to keep a centralized repository for my projects. It also helped me and my friends to work on the same project from different places. Since it is open source, I believe it more than anything. GitLab helped me to organize all my projects in a proper manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
From my point of view, if your organization is looking for a place where all the repositories can be organized without having any doubt regarding the platform, then you should opt for GitLab. Since it is an open source platform, we can trust it more than anything.
One of the best existing tool to manage projects
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is really a full automated service covering all the stages of theproject life cycle It helps you increase your productivity , with unlimited repository and good visbility and track of your overall Projects.
I find the interface super easy to use , and the tutorial is pretty complete. The biggest advantage of Gitlab is the community behind that is always willing to assist you .
Integrating the CI/CD part is really helpful to manage different pipelines and the Merge requests are super easy to use in the platform.
Tracking conflicts and resolving them is also . Submiting tickets , creating issues , assigning them and set deadlines.
In general between Securtiy , Subversion , code management and DevOps Tools , I think that Gitlab meet every compagny requirements

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike in Gitlab.
I would rather say that they're some points that can be improved. like optimizing services to run faster especially for the DevOps use. Sometimes the pipelines can take forever.
Managing Groups can be tricky as well , sometimes you have to manually join groups and projects together. The graphic repository can be improved too

We use Gitlab mostly everyday in our company.
It helps us monitor all our softwars , tools and tracking subversions. The code collaboration looks pretty easy now since we start using Gitlab . Code Reviews and Merge requests are easy to manage through the interface.
As part of the DevOps Team , the CI/CD platform creating automated flows

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It might look expensive as a solution for small business , the free Gitlab version is pretty good as well .
For big teams and multiple projects management there's no better solutions than using Gitlab ( users permissions , merge requests, code reviews and subversions) It covers the entire software development process
If your company uses DevOps to manage their softwares lifecycle. You should definitely move to Gitlab it's highly recommended
