The best tool to control projects
What do you like best about the product?
It supports multiple repositories, security and low cost or even though free access for individuals. Gitlab is the best on-premise solution for managing a code base with the added benefit of having a complete CI pipeline with the code. I can interact with another user and I learned a lot using this.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like the way this utility displays the diff between 2 versions that we are a branch office and needed to contact the corporation to modify some firewall and network settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Git was not an option because I would not publish the source code to the world, but only to the target audience. We track changes to our source repositories, requiring merge requests and code review. Therefore, we use most resources to create open source solutions using GitLab to house source code.

Easy to use project manager

Code management
I fell in love with gitlab
What do you like best about the product?
In my work as a freelancer GitLab is an excellent tool to take an order of each project that I carry out, each feature of this software is very important for all users, because we can import and export a project at the time we want and it will always be updated to the Most recent version that we have endorsed, the characteristics that I like the most is to be able to create branches of the same project in order to keep an order of the step by step I give.
GitLab is very simple to use once you know how to work with git, this being the most important thing today for anyone working in the development area.
It is very interesting to be able to create task panels where I can divide the workload into sections and these panels can name and assign people in case of working in groups.
I really like being able to integrate gitlab to softwares like Smargit or gitkraken making the use of git easier than having to do everything by command in the terminal.

I've been working with github for 4 years and I've always had the pleasure of working at ease because I know that my projects are safe on your servers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teamwork as a freelance worker is very easy to do because you can take an order and each colleague works individually with the branch assigned to him
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For my gitlab, it is the best version controller that I can have and I can recommend it 100% after working for so many years with the
GitLab is a joy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is easy to navigate and a breeze to browse. Gitlab allows employees to make easy pushes, pulls, commits, and merge requests. Issue tracking makes it easy to see on-going needs with repos and the git server keeps everything secure.
It's more than just a repository though. GitLab can effectively handle the entire DevOps cycle at your company. It also provides a single source of truth when it comes to how commits are handled, who deploys code, and who is regularly contributing to repos.

What do you dislike about the product?
Downsides of using Gitlab: I've heard it was hard to set-up but I was not involved in that process, so I can't confirm. The UI could be faster. The platform can be somewhat un-intuitive at times, but once you get the hang of it, it is really a nice tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab has immensely increased my understanding in our system architectures by being easy to access, allowing me to read through our repos, view historical issues, and easily contribute additional documentation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the myriad of features that GitLab contains. You can really use GitLab to help every team that touches the process of software deployment. QA can check that commits have actually been deployed and see the code that was committed, Developers are able to see each other's commits and project managers can see the overall status of projects, MRs, issues, and even MR statistics.
Easy handling and tidy

The inconvenience is that when multiple projects are developed the options are organized in a complex way.

The right choice to store our source code.
What do you like best about the product?
This software is very simple and effective. Setting up a pipeline is immediate. It is pretty documented and also newbie can approach a good result in short time. Issue and agile management of a project is a big plus and recent capabilities to monitor project performances are impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no major drawbacks with GitLab. It provides most of the things with its free edition. However, the wait time for running CI pipelines is sometimes a bit longer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We loves GitLab so much. Since the last 3 years, we use it regularly and we don't have a single complaint about it. This software has made it easy to contribute to the project and our project is always private and only the members of the team could access it. It ensures security. The continuous integration has helped us to automatically deploy softwares on our infrastructure thus reducing our workload.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We are very satisfied and we will consider it also for the next professional projects. I highly recommend it.

Gitlab is a must have for any user of Github. It allows you to exchange with other developers in depth and see other projects that require better coding.

It is sometimes hard to fin a particular project you are working on unless you have a direct link to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am learning to code with Gitlab. I am exchange with other IT professionals and students.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using Github, there is no way you can continue without Gitlab, Both solutions really go hand in hand. GItlab will allow you to get more perspective on your code and make progress.

Essential tool for my team and business
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab's builtin CI is great for automated testing and deployment of our projects. We use the task board to help manage the backlog. The whole tool supports gitflow really well with references to tasks, builds, and PRs all linked together making it easy to see the changes.
The "automatic merge" feature of a Pull Request once the build has passed is really handy.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, it's hard to find anything I really dislike about Gitlab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every once and a while our builds are slow to start but we are using their shared (free) build runners so it's easy to understand.
