Gitlab is Great!
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is a solid product with a simple user interface. It is very easy to use and manage merge requests, todos, and small issues all in one place. The code review tools are great, and all team members can easily write comments and share feedback with the rest of the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few small bugs with the platform. For example, when a file in a merge request is defaulted to collapsed due to its length, the number of additions and deletions will not reflect the real total value, creating a minor inconvenience. The online merge conflict resolution is also error-prone, and I'd recommend resolving any merge conflicts locally and using Gitlab to review afterwards. The Issues feature is nice, but I'd recommend using another product to manage the tracking of larger issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is a great, competitively priced version control platform. There are a few bugs and improvements that could be made, but overall I'm very happy with my and my team's experience. Gitlab helps drive efficiency by greatly reducing the time required to go from a dev saying their code is complete, to actually getting their code merged into the master branch due to the easy to use code review tooling and Todos feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gitlab is a great product and worth considering as a version control host.

Best Tool Ever
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab group all the tools that you love in a single place. You have a git repository, a git browser, git LFS, an issue management system, scrum boards, merge requests, and a beautiful and easy to use CI tool.
And everything is free. But if you need an extra power, you can always pay to have some state of the art support and some other functionalities.

Some awesome features, like reviewers, are just present on the paid version, which is sad :(

Just use it. It's easy to use, easy to setup, and full of tools to help you solve your problems.
GitLab is adequate, but code review tools could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with git.
Code Review tools - we did not have anything before we started using GitLab, so even though there is room for improvement, it is better than what we had.

Less well-known but awesome software versioning system.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean and easy to navigate. It has regular updates adding new features mostly relating to project planning and management. It has the option to make repositories private without additional costs.

Sometimes the interface changes a bit after a update making it annoying to find commonly used functions.

Read the documentation and try it out. There is more than just Github!
Software versioning system with the clearest interface
What do you like best about the product?
The overview if you have many projects is great. It is clear to see what activity has taken place on each project while you were away. The application is updated often and they add alot of functionalities relating to project planning/Agile.
What do you dislike about the product?
The common updates are often accompanied by UI changes, which means that after each update they move some common features around. This is a minor inconvenience, since it means I often 'lose' commonly used functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team uses Gitlab for software versioning of our companies various projects. It allows our team to stay connected on each others progress and provide comments and discussion on issues and code.
Decent, but complicated
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility and control that we have over the system and the multiple levels of permissions systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's clunky to use and the menus are all very cluttered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to host it ourselves and manage login systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a lot of control over your system this will probably work for you, but if you just need a basic repository system, go with bitbucket or something simple and common. If you don't have any complex needs, don't complicate your life.
Easy to use and great UI

The UI makes it very UX friendly. Tracking version history never been so easy and pretty.

Their is not much that I dislike with this product right now.

Great for Everything Except Merge Conflicts
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to use. Issue creation is simple and straightforward. There are many ways to custom organize issues. Milestones are AMAZING. It's great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Merge conflicts are unbelievably hard to resolve. When I have one, I decide to deal with it on my IDE instead of GitLab. It's really inefficient and needs to be modified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing issues and tracking issues over milestones. It's really helpful to have a program like this because it keeps sprints organized and we can keep track of individual contributions.
