What do you dislike about the product?
1. Need some stickiness in UI. For example moving from one tab to other would often reset the UI to master branch. This have made me create some bad check-ins to wrong branch.
2. Git analytics can be more powerful. Currently it shows limited data about Contributor, Changes etc.
3. Project management aspect (task /issues / boards ) is not too powerful. Either it should be built comprehensively or move out into a new product.
4. CI-CD Pipeline does not have a support of plugin extensions, which makes it weaker in comparison to Jenkins pipelines.
5. Licensing was a little confusing for me.

It does what it should do
What do you like best about the product?
We can combine everything we need in this one platform
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not that fast if you use the hosted version. We switched to a self-hosted version for reliability and performance
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use gitlab to store all our private repositories, process our builds, and deploy's to a kubernetes cluster
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the self-hosted version if possible
Intuitive interface to see your code
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like most about GitLab is the find file feature. If you know the name of any file, you can type just a piece of it and it will show you all files and their paths with that piece of search text. I also really like that you can highlight a line, copy the link and send it to someone. When they open the link, it will bring them to the selected line. I also think the colors used to display the code make it much more readable. Finally, I really like how it shows you the entire history of the file throughout time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The think I like the least about GitLab is the overall search feature. It rarely works and cannot find searched text very easily. When you search for some text, it usually just says "not found". This is different from the overall find file feature, which works great. It doesn't seem to be able to cross search repositories.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab allows our team to see the current version of code that is in our master repository. It also lets us see the entire commit history on any file. We also use GitLab for version control and recovery of code. We use it to merge branches of individual work into the code base.
Gitlab
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful geafure is gitlab ci that helps to run CI/CD stages wtih ease
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldnt find any freautre or thing that I dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using gitlab for everything like project managment, knowledge base(wiki), and so on
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the gitlab CI and gitlab registry
Powerful team collaboration tool for managing software development projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to immediately bring people into a conversation on a discussion thread just by tagging their name. I like that there's issue tracking, documentation, and a code repository all in one spot for my projects. I also really like the ability for each team member to fine tune their notification levels so they aren't spammed by every change happening to every issue/ticket all day long.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was a bit of an initial learning curve to being able to really use Gitlab effectively, that is perhaps just the nature of the beast, however. Fully searchable comment threads would also be useful but that's not a current feature (looks like it's on the roadmap though!) Aside from that, while I like that Gitlab uses markdown, I feel like the editor window itself is less than stellar if you're relying on it to help format your page, particularly if an individual is less familiar with markdown. Some sort of pop out quick reference guide might be of more use than the editor as currently prescribed. Several of my colleagues have gotten frustrated attempting to format items thinking that the editor will function as a WYSIWYG, which it does not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We develop software projects utilizing the scrum methodology with a geographically distributed team of people. GitLab allows us to maintain a repository of our codebase and work as a cohesive team through code review, merge requests, easy issue refinement, and weighting all while working towards our current milestone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Git has become an industry standard as a code repository. GitLab is an incredibly powerful tool for managing internal software projects. I would highly recommend giving GitLab a good trial run to see how it can fit into your development workflow.
Great alternative for Github
What do you like best about the product?
I have used several online repositories besides GitLab but in the end I chose to stay with this one because it offers many more advantages in its free version than the others, although I currently pay the subscription that was the reason why I initially use Gitlab. Gitlab also offers different themes to change the way your repository looks.
Currently after having tested the application in its totality, I must say that GitLab implements the Git protocol very well in its platform and also offers a very complete management of the repositories through the dashboard of the website, where you can visualize all the actions carried out in the repository from merge, rebase, branch creation, change history etc ...

What do you dislike about the product?
Normally when an application offers too many advanced options it makes the same mistake and it is that it organizes badly (in my opinion) the options and creates a saturation or sensation of it, in some menus there are too many options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking for an alternative to maintaining a local or remote repository on my own servers since its management is much more complicated and it took time to complete the projects. Gitlab manages the repositories and offers to use them 24/7 without interruption.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Gitlab, especially if you come from other repositories in the cloud that are gitlab competition because the application offers many options in your dashboard and the free version is somewhat more complete than its competitors.
Best for private repos
What do you like best about the product?
Generous collaboration features (unlimited free collaborators), Issue boards and lists, support for numerous static site generators (unlike GitHub, which only sports Jekyll.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Wish redirects were easier for plain HTML sites on Pages. Boards limited to issues (GitHub has them for projects as well)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fantastic version control and simple management of issues
Only Version control with CI/CD integrated service out there.
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab has ability to configure CI/CD with in their UI. It is very easy for developers to push their code to respective environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Billing system is not user friendly, it has yearly billing cycle. Even if you want to use it for a month user has to pay yearly charge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Removed jenkins ci/cd pipeline and using gitlab inbuilt
the perfect alternative for github
What do you like best about the product?
simple platform, intuitive use. If you know how to use github, you can use this platform too. It's the best choice for your team code, because you can have private developments easier than github.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's down, but you can work at your local codeand wait it's up again, it isn't a big bug.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a good version control tool and I always need a remote copy of my code for a lot of purposes. I code closely code for a lot of clients, so it's easy for me get a version of code and make a few changes for other client.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a good control version tool and it's terms are designed for companies who needs private developments.
Great experience coming from other DevOps products
What do you like best about the product?
The greatest thing about Gitlab is the ease of use and versatility to run over various platforms. It is being used by a number of large companies in all different industries today. It provides a seamless integration with any system. The user interface enables Gitlab users to access everything from one screen: projects, latest projects. Milestones allow users to set milestones at a group level, rather than just a developer-specific level.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main issue with GitLab is its UII. Various functions seem to be hidden within obscure menus and hidden drop-downs. Not too much of a problem once you're used to it, but for new users, its a real issue. The comment system isn't great, for some reason GitLab stores any and all edits that are made, meaning even the slightest change to a pull / merge comment is stored.
