It is mainly made for DevOps.I can easily manage my tasks, make different boards for different features, and track them separately,CI-CD pipeline gitlab has everything. The pricing of this product is also perfect.

GitLab is a one-stop solution for us it handles pretty much about our software development currently we are using GitLab along with GitHub but we have started to shift evetything from github to GitLab

A great repo for an air-gapped environment

  • December 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to interact with a securely hosted repository to store and develop code with my team. The collaboration features are an industry standard and enable my team to work together well. I also love the ability to set up pipelines and CI/CD for my projects to have good linting, testing, and deployment automatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really anything in particular that I don't like. I think that sometimes I wish that there were slightly more detailed docs for pipelines, but there are other examples online that helped me through any issues I have had.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The issue of being able to leverage the power of Git in a secure space. GitHub can't be hosted on-prem and operate completely separately from the outside world.

Simply the best git repository

  • December 08, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used multiple git repositories, such as bitbucket and GitHub, but GitLab is by far the best one because it does not impose any commit size limit.
It also provides massive 15 GB of storage in the free plan, which no other git repository offers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes but not often, its server goes down and shows a bad gateway error: HTTP 500 error. And it should, by default, deselect the delete branch option while creating a merge request.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using GitLab, I can manage multiple projects with ease; it also is beneficial in real-time deployment, they best part is we can webhook the server for auto-deployment whenever the main branch is updated.


    aws and gitlab fanboy

After trying several other roll-your-own methods, this one worked for me

  • November 29, 2022
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

I don't understand the problems other folks had getting this thing going. Just a thought... if you can't make this work, you shouldn't be in DevOps anyway.

I've been using this AMI for a few years now. I had massive permissions trouble upgrading from the previous release based on Ubuntu 18.x bionic to the one based on 20.x focal. I was able to get it fixed up though, and we've been solid since.

Best Agile Enterprise planning tool

  • November 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab software's ability to integrate with various third-party applications is the most prominent aspect. It ultimately allows users to design a simple ecology utilising its modification choices rapidly.
Gitlab helps our organisation shorten the software lifecycle time and thus improves efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's an excellent tool for designers and developers, but the application design can be enhanced to make it extra attractive and user-friendly. Understanding how to use it effectively may require a bit of time, but once you understand and utilise it, it becomes a powerful tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation, improved transparency, and progress assessment skills are necessary to eliminate mistakes made by employees in our organization on big and convoluted initiatives. GitLab is an open-source system that provides source code administration, simultaneous assembly and distribution, analytics, and project governance capabilities to application development groups.

Easy to use

  • November 18, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very clean and that makes it easy to navigate without having any past experience in the system. This makes it easy to onboard the team without having a learning curve on how a tool works.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing I can come up with. If there is something I don't understand there is always an extensive amount of information online and on GitLab's website so I haven't stumbled upon anything yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab helps to solve problems with continuous deployment and continuous delivery on different projects. This has been the number one benefit of using it. After implementing it the developers didn't have to use as much time on every deployment.
