Good full feature git management tool. It is easy for you to set up a private server. It is very convenience.

It help our team manage different repos, have a good permission management system which is quite helpful for our team to give different permission to teammates.

Gitlab is great for sharing code among peers

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the fact that GitLab makes it easy to share code with peers. At my current job as a Teaching Fellow for a programming bootcamp, our lead instructor does upload the version that he created and for us to use a reference. Having one centralized location for all of us to go and look at solved code is something that is very valuable, as there are times when even we (the TA's) need some help at certain points.
What do you dislike about the product?
I currently don't have much dislikes of gitlab. I feel that it offers pretty much everything that is needed. One problem is the learning curve to get efficient usage out of this service, but that can be said for many more things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Professionally we use GitLab as the centralized location for all of our breakout session answers. In coding there are many ways to answer a question, and the main instructor has a certain way it was done. This is great to reflect upon if we ever get stuck, or to try and analyze to better provide an explanation for my students.
Personally, I used GitLab as central hub to track my own projects. Having multiple people work on a single project can sometimes get overwheling but with GitLab's version control it makes this so much easier. Overall I feel that GitLab is definitely a product that I enjoy using and want to use in a professional and personal setting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Github as well!

GitLab is good stuff

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to set up version control without worrying about cloud storage and connectivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Basically, keeping things away from other git sources that I've already set up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets me have total control over version control and security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot. It's not QUITE as simple to use as Github and Bitbucket, but if you need a good piece of software, you have it here.

Great free code repository

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free and open-source tool with a lot of features from the box.
Easy and modern UI, possibility to create public or private projects, everything you need even in free version.
They also have a code review system, we did not use though.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't say anything particularly bad, easy to use and maintain, especially in comparison with TFS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As usual code repository, you can share your work with the rest of your team, even if they spread across the world. Merge requests, team management, reports and plans. All you need in one place!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's open-source, so as usual with such projects you can experience problems some times, but anyway you just must give it a chance and you will not want to try anything else.

Powerful and easy GIT collaboration tool

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Almost as powerful as Github is and can be installed on premise for free. Merge request and code reviews are really powerful, allowing to manage a new feature under development as a social network conversation where all the team collaborate with the developer in charge, allowing more robust code to be finally deployed. Webhooks allow easy integration with other tools like CI/CD
What do you dislike about the product?
Some options aren't easy to find, what sometime makes solving an issue slightly confusing.
Protecting branches by default is something that can be confusing at the first time.
Changing ownership of a project is not straightforward.
Managing user permissions can be confising.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development team collaboration and source code management. It is easy to navigate the history code, allow the team review changes and comment about them before merging and to work with many projects and git branches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GitLab have improved a lot in the past two years, becoming a first option when selecting a GIT collaboration and management system. Is a powerful option that can be deployed both on cloud or on premise without compromise. Allowing private repositories is what makes GitLab shine.

Gitlab: Github for Testing Needs

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the ability to have my pull requests run through a Jenkins job. This ensures that my code is working and meets the best practices.
What do you dislike about the product?
DevOps needs to make sure that the jobs run correctly. This isn't always the case, and may cause some confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problems solved by GitLab include the ability to manage a large amount of code. It simplifies the QA side of things by guaranteeing code is ready for production when it enters the repo.
