Simple and effective tool.

What do you like best about the product?
It has been a long time using this product. It's by and large a privatized interface, so just extremely noticeable for our organization. The real GUI is really prettier too which is pleasant. Exploring to specific pages is a little less demanding as well. Clearly, having adaptation control for programming advancement ought to be a necessity, and it's superior to SVN which a portion of our senior associates utilize. Scanning for particular code/contents on gitlab gives off an impression of being less demanding.
What do you dislike about the product?
They continue adding highlights to their item, which is decent however can be somewhat overpowering for new users. They've completed a great job at mapping everything out, except I feel there ought to be an alternative to just show key highlights rather than the whole suite of highlights. It would make it less demanding for new users to become acclimated to and locate the fundamental highlights, and, once they're agreeable, they might have the capacity to investigate more highlights by observing the whole suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Their organization is 100% remote, and the majority of their interior documentation is distributed freely so anybody can seek it and submit changes back. This incorporates the majority of their HR documentation. I exceedingly esteem the way of life of an organization when I'm assessing working with somebody, and this organization ticks all the crates for a solid culture fit with my organization.

Used as a client for submitting bugs

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab made it easy to submit tickets to our vendors. We assigned who it went to, the priority, the severity, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many bad things to say. Sometimes when I tried to assign someone to the ticket, searching the name didn't work and I'd have to go through the list manually, but that's it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab helped us log bugs with our vendor so that we could track bugs and fixes in an organized way.

GitLab is the best version control system for students.

  • October 13, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is the best version control system that i have been using since collage. It's free and it allows me to collaborate efficiently with my fellow coders and friends. Now I run a software company and I have been using it ever since. Free version is great but the paid version provides you with extra needed security and is more fast. I am currently using the gold package and it comes with all the functionalities that an enterprise could ask for. They also provide you with a beautiful security dashboard and portfolio management.
What do you dislike about the product?
The storage space could have been a little more so we can store more projects for free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us as a company to collaborate and link our project and also allows for the full control of previous versions of the program which is essential especially for new employees.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free version is better than some other version control systems available in the market.

Great board for a scrum team

  • October 11, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Using Gitlab is very easy. You do not need a training session to start using it. Also, there is a free version that is quite complete; it is not necessary to buy the bronze, silver or gold version. The user experience of the board is really cool. You can add label and do a search to find specific issues thanks to the search bar.
What do you dislike about the product?
Concerning the free version, it could be great to be able to create parent tasks or linked ones. The other problem faced during Gitlab implementation is the hardware resources needed if you don't want to have something slow. Of course, the main element that we dislike is the price if you want to go further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Gitlab as we are now working with Agile Methodology. We want to be aware of the backlog, to do, in progress, closed or blocked issues. Each person is now responsible for his issues. The board is a good visual way to see the sprint's status. Communication has been improved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I Would recommend Gitlab either for a development team or other (non IT) team. It's a good way to build a board that monitors the activity and can forecast upcoming issues. Also, everyone is responsible of its own tasks and become more accountable.

A great software for developers.

  • October 04, 2018

What do you like best about the product?
For one thing, I cherish that it's free and is a fantastic contrasting option to GitHub. I like that I can make private repositories for my very own activities as opposed to having to openly impart code to a gathering, which as a beginner can be somewhat scary. (Particularly since I'm from an outline foundation, not so much coding!) The evaluating scale is great and sensible, for the same number of users as vital. I'm as of now learning Python and it helps significantly that there a couple of API customers I can look over. The "code audit" framework is great. I extremely like the UX/UI of GitLab. It's outwardly perfect, practical and is bolstered well.
What do you dislike about the product?
In our joining, we do not have a few highlights accessible on other git customers, for example, github. The inline rendering of note pads on Github, and the considerably more straightforward capacity to impart to outside users is a colossal in addition to for getting criticism and utilization data. Additionally no drifting repos to perceive any cool new thoughts individuals have concocted is a short. Besides, the simplicity of connecting issues/repos/pull requests crosswise over different posts is less clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
in the event that you need an all encompassing arrangement with a system around engineers, at that point this is the arrangement you require. It gives a ton of local help for engineers coordinated effort. The organization likewise encapsulates devops and an open and straightforward culture.

Like Github, but a bit worse

  • September 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that it provides almost all the functionalities that GitHub provides. It supports a wide variety of of features that works great if your company wants to integrate pipelining with their source control. It also has very intuitive and easy to use UI which is always helpful as not every users want to use command line. It also has great integration with Jira, and that is the Agile board that we use so it's really helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have experienced random connection issues with GitLab either when pulling or pushing to our repo. The web interface also seems to be slow sometimes, and it is definitely not due to our internet connection. Also the profile view isn't as good as GitHub if that is something you or your organization cares about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company was mainly using it as a centralize source control for most of our code base. Based on our purpose, GitLab was able to fulfill the job and fit our work flow wonderfully. We are also using Perforce and that is an old and ancient platform, so GitLab was well appreciated by our team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would consider using GitHub first before trying GitLab as it is the same, but offers more functionality.
