A good VCS tool
What do you like best?
We can have free private repositories, but it has limited features. But we can get used to it before purchasing the product. Also, I like the web IDE in GitLab, which is far better than the text editor in other VCS. Also, we can check the GitLab ci config file before pushing it and testing it in the pipeline. We can validate the yml script on the GitLab site itself.
What do you dislike?
There are some limitations in Gitlab. For example, we can not re-request for review from the co-workers. Also, I am not a fan of GitLab UI. Mainly the notification side.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We can use it as a remote git repository to collaborate with co-workers on a project. We can make several branches based on what functionality is being developed. And we can create merge requests and then merge all the work in the main branch. Co-working on software project is very easy with GitLab.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good tool to use for version management and collaboration on a project. You should consider this software especially when you want a test pipeline with gitlab-ci.

My whole team was able to work on the same feature using GitLab. Also, the peer code review feature allowed us to solve several issues before we integrate with the Master branch.

GitLab's search capabilities need to be improved to show more accurate results;

GitLab prevents issues on flow and allows us to achieve our desired results. It is a secure platform with a friendly interface;
Even if GitLab is simple to use, it's a big piece of software that can sometimes become slow on the web user interface. Moreover the review system is sometimes not so easy to use compared to other competitors. Hopefully their are great browser extensions that solves this issues;

In my opinion, this platform is better designed compared with its competitors. I am a long-time user and have witnessed how GitLab continues to enhance its services. It comes with many great features. My favorite part would be its excellent CI/CD section. It can be navigated with ease and it allows for greater flexibility.
Source control for everything
What do you like best?
I like the flexibility of GitLab. The web version is also amazing as you can use it for free, unless you need some more advanced feature. However there is the possibility to use it on your own server. I think that is the true power of GitLab.
What do you dislike?
I miss the dashboard, like health charts for projects. Also the ui is a bit old school. But I guess it is a subjective opinion. Also it is not well integrated to other source control softwares like sourcetree.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We are using it for code hosting. Also experimenting with the Community Edition to run our own server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out CI/CD integration.
