Gitlab - light weight source control

  • October 26, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is cool, straight fwd and easy to use source control, i have been using tfs before i started using gitlab.. it takes a little bit of time to get adjusted to it if somebody is coming from a tfs background
What do you dislike about the product?
As it provides a very flexible branching mechanism, sometimes its a bit messy and difficult to merge the changes and push to master if more ppl are working in same areas using many branches in place
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as one of our source controls to maintain source and history for few of the apps in place

There are many projects available. If you stuck in your project you can surely get a help from someone on gitlab. Project management is good. Project deployment is easy and fast. Best part is it has kubernetes integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dashboard is not that good. In continuous deployment it has some problem. Mobile UI should also be improved

Great for tracking projects across dispersed teams

  • October 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab allows us to manage milestones, track issues, create individual due dates, and easily assign team members accordingly. Managing merge requests and commits from the UI makes for quick work. This truly is Git on steroids!
What do you dislike about the product?
We have used the Enterprise Edition Premium while subcontracting for large-scale projects and found it is a bit pricey, but still worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to streamline and organize projects like never before. We are able to do this with a team spread all over the country, but work as communicatively, efficiently and effectively as if we were in the same room.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GitLab is great for teams both small and large. The features, scalability, and easy-of-use are far superior to other repo management tools out there.

What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of a thing that I would change, or that negatively impacts my git experience in this tool.

Works well for document control

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that GitLab is open source and can be set up as a private server on our company's intranet. The UI is also simple enough for non-technical members of our team to easily use, but contains all of the features we need. Creating repositories is simple, as is tracking changes. In short, it does all of the basics of what we need it to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
While we use GitLab for a non-standard purpose (version control of documentation). This means that there are no native tools or plugins to let us comp Word documents. I was able to resolve this issue by writing a program to do so, but in terms of plug-and-play, it was a bit disappointing. Installing GitLab was initially a bit of a hassle because of our network settings; we are a branch office and needed to contact corporate to modify some firewall and network settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we have solved with GitLab is keeping track of the most up-to-date versions of a dizzying number of documents. Because using out-of-date documentation has in the past caused critical errors in deployment, GitLab has helped us immeasurably.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't overlook GitLab if you need version control for non-code text/documentation.

Fine grain access control. Inferface easy to use. Emission system / milestones. Continuous integration. Loose notifications. Quick merge requests and code revisions.

The implementation of Git may have errors with large repos. The occasional 500 errors and push / pull faults.

We use Gitlab to set milestones, summarize tasks, track progress, complete code revisions, source control, code exchange.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Listen to your direct reports and the voices of your people, who have a great knowledge and experience in software and technology. They can help shape and shape where we are going in a positive way.

Gitlab Makes Development Streamlined

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is a git repository that makes keeping track of code changes easy. The biggest benefit is that it can be self-hosted. The one thing that sets git lab apart from the rest is that it allows for personal contribution to the development efforts. There is also new features being released constantly which makes it easy to keep up with some of the larger repo systems our there. Gitlab also make it easy to manage at an organization level. This means that I can set up repos or groups and have people set up with very specific access.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not to many things I can think of. Probably the biggest issue is that gitlab can be behind on some features compared to other repo systems. Not all of the more know features in some of the other repo systems out there may not have been considered as important and worth the development effort. The other thing that I dislike is that there does not seem to be nearly as many integrations available as there are with other repos like Github.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab provides a method to keep accurate change management across code and database development. It also provides a way to log issues and keep track of development todos. The last major benefits is that it creates a centralized way track code and its history.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The self-hosted version is great, though if you do not have the infrastructure or hardware available to host your own version, the subscription version is a nice alternative.
