Self-hosted code hub
What do you like best about the product?
All the functionalities that includes for free (community edition) and you can contribute with code or apply your on changes since you can manage your own instance inside your infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss an "update" button in the admin panel or something like that so I don't have to login into the instance or even an auto update feature that you can schedule every X time.
Additionally it would be very good to have a centralized place to list, download, and delete the artifacts of each project, right now it is kind of complicated to delete old unused artifacts.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost effective collaboration hub for our coding projects which also includes a powerful CI/CD toolchain and some basic tools to monitor the project deployment and operation.
You can have better code quality with the Merge Request tools for Code reviews.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be blinded by the omnipresence of github, gitlab is a very good competitor which also offers tools for CI/CD even in the free tier of the global platform.
Great product used by many in the software industry
What do you like best about the product?
This product has a wealth of features to help you manage your code repos and the users accessing those who typically need granular settings. We can easily set up new repos and have excellent visibility into all user actions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally we will run into application issues, but thankfully these are few and far between. The current issue we have though prevents us from seeing the status of pipeline jobs within a completed merge request, but are able to work around by accessing the job directly within the CI/CD section.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to easily get our code moved into repos and therefore can better track and manage our codebase. This prevents us from having to discuss issues directly with different developers and allows us to quickly and easily roll back changes if needed on a per commit basis.
IT management is easier
What do you like best about the product?
It has increased our productivity and enabled us to create a software supply chain with built-in package management. It always takes in account all the security steps to keep our data safe. For security measures it provide us ‘secret variables’ , so that only authorized person can have access to the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes this software runs slowly due to which we have to spend time in its plug in and also much of the time gets wasted in opening cards. Also it is not so user friendly and it theme is not appealing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped me in developing the codes and provides us scalable, single source for collaborating on projects and codes help us to be more productive, I do not face any issue while working. It has helped me to work on remote basis and its easy configuration supports various applications. In all ways it is great platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is strongly recommended to other organizations. However, its integrated CD solution will help you in shipping the code with zero-touch and it automatically monitor metrics, thus informs you about any change in coding which could affect our productivity. Hence, it deals with threat detection and this is something I like about it.
Version control is superb easy with GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
I like this version control platform because it provides much features in free version too.
It has many more function which are going to move to free version. So this is always developer friendly.
There are many reason behind the liking GitLab,
1. It is easy to maintain the stages of the Dev ops life cycle.
2. The branch management and branch merge management is so clean
3. The conflict issues are being handled easily.
4. It has good privacy and security policies.
5. I found the role management features are more perfect than others.
6.It allow SAML assurance level to bypass 2FA.
7. Multiple LDAP / AD server support
8. Various authentication mechanisms are supported.
9. Can be integrated with multiple 3rd party services, CI/CD, and other tools such as ALM, PLM, Agile and Automation tools.
10. Accelerate idea-to-production by identifying areas of improvement in the entire development process.
These are the main reasons and features behind my choice and likes to GitLab.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have found nothing to dislike this version control and Dev ops tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Me and my all colleagues in my organization use this version control tool for version controlling and multiple users work merging. We preserve all of our source codes in Git Lab keeping them private.
It solves the complexities of working with multiple person in the same projects.
There are so cool features for our Dev ops process in our every projects of the company.
We also use all the roles like developer, maintainer, guest, author to access , share and manage the source code.

Full service to automate the web.

What do you dislike about the product?
Something you can do with GITLAB is that you can implement thanks to its high platform level, in any way, so I have nothing negative to say about it, however I think it can improve the adaptation characteristics it can be slow to pass the information from gifthub or other accounts, it does not affect the system but it may be something to improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its interface is very useful and easy to use for all our team, it allows us to solve any problem regarding administration and allows our working hours to be effective and fluid, in turn it solved the initial problem of changing our web base to its most advanced web base in order to offer the best to our clients.Its interface is very useful and easy to use for all our team, it allows us to solve any problem regarding administration and allows our working hours to be effective and fluid, in turn it solved the initial problem of changing our web base to its most advanced web base in order to offer the best to our clients.

Best Version Controlling platform
What do you like best about the product?
We can use ssh-key feature in gitlab for working in team and one can clone, pushing the project without using credentials again and again
What do you dislike about the product?
In Gitlab there is nothing to be disliked
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that I solved using gitlab is that we can push our code free of code to cloud and save our work.
The most important benefit of gitlab is that we can even download each and every version of file.
And we can compare line to line of code from previous version.

Highly recommended others to use gitlab as version controlling system
Experience of using Gitlab after using Bitbucket
What do you like best about the product?
1. Pricing: For start-ups and small businesses Gitlab's free cloud-hosting plan is just awesome and boon for them.
2. Control: It's self-hosting version is perfect for teams which are capable to have resources to have their codebase in their infrastructure and it is also open-source.
3. Open-source: Bitbucket's Community Edition is Open-Source and great for modification as per your choice. User can think out of box and can include a feature which is not even thought of by Gitlab team.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Integration with Jira: In my previous company and the current one, Jira is used as an agile tool. So being an Atlassian software it is more compatible with Bitbucket then with Gitlab.
2. Pull Request vs Merge Request: If my source branch is rebased with the target branch then on approving Pull Request the tree structure in Bitbucket doesn't create an extra node for Merge, whereas in case of merge request in Bitbucket every time it is approved an extra node for Merge is created. This is really frustrating when you're going through history of a file in an IDE as sometime there might be more than 3 windows of code because of this merge node. A clean master branch is always preferable which just seems impossible with Gitlab.

What do you dislike about the product?
The merging problem is an issue which occures very rare during merging the branches & rarely during roll back . But this is very rare maybe no one may faces except me.
Othee wise this is okay.
