GitLab: A Powerful and Wonderful DevOps Platform for Engineering Teams
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is an exceptional all-in-one DevOps platform that offers a wide array of tools for the entire software development lifecycle — from planning to CI/CD to monitoring. It stands out due to its integrated approach, allowing teams to manage repositories, pipelines, issues, merge requests, and security all within a single interface.It is easy to collaborate, review, and enforce quality gates with approval rules, code owners, and discussions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The self-hosted version of Gitlab can be heavy on memory and CPU, requiring significant system resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab solves several key problems across the software development lifecycle, and here’s how it benefits me. GitLab CI/CD automates builds, testing, and deployments, reducing human error and speeding up time to production. GitLab encourages collaboration with built-in merge requests, inline code reviews, and issue boards, keeping all stakeholders aligned.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to have a way to quickly connect to support or ask a question to a bot instead or reading through documentation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CI/CD pipelines, integrations with Slack and GitGuardian, Version control and review of MRs + managing team members
Best tool to run production pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
Its an best tool to run pipelines very easily and also take less time to execute the commands in it.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far i dont see any drawback with gitlab in my project
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly in my project we come across multiple failures due to bad duplicate data issue,gitlab helps u to remove those duplicate bad data by running pipelines in less time.
A Great DevOps Platform with Everything in One Place
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most is the GitLab brings together version control, CI/CD, issue tracking, and project management in a single tool. I really like how seamless it is to go from writing code to deploying it, all without leaving the platform. The built-in CI/CD is easy to set up, and the merge request workflow helps keep code quality high.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can feel a bit slow sometimes, especially with larger repositories or more complex pipelines. Also, some settings and permissions are buried deep in menus, so it takes a while to find things unless you use it regularly. The UI could use a bit more polish in places.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab helps my team keep all our DevOps work in one place, making collaboration between developers, testers, and operations much smoother. We no longer need to rely on separate tools for CI/CD, version control, and issue tracking—it’s all built into GitLab. This reduces context switching and makes onboarding new team members easier. The automation in pipelines also helps us catch issues earlier and deploy updates faster.
A great repository and ticket tracking management tool all in one place
What do you like best about the product?
The repository can show issues in a Kanban style format making it easier to see tickets linked to MR requests and workflows
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting. Unlike something like JIRA, the customisation options for reports are limited. I was trying to export a list of tickets where labels have changed from In QA to In Progress (gone back in the workflow) but the options weren't really there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There's many things. Mainly bug and ticket/feature tracking via Kanban and labels. We can see MR's linked to tickets and features allowing code or tests to be reviewed .
very useful and easy to use ci/cd pipeline tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to create pipelines with jobs and stages, use of variables and the concept of default runners and also ability to configure custom runners.
What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration of default runners is unknown - unless we run a particular command like uname
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using gitlab, i was building my code on a VM. when the VM went down or the network was down I was stuck. Also space was a constraint on VM with multple users using to store their files and build code.
moving to gitlab and having multiple projects eased this situation.
Also with the concept of branches I could have multiple flavors and options to achieve different functionality.

Best CI/CD enabler
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is not just a code repository it can be used as a orchestrator and help with implementing dataops , gitops like architectures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such , May be more powerful and cloud based runner availability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have implemented dataops methodology using gitlab as a base and integrated all the tools around it
Gitlab Experience was really good
What do you like best about the product?
CI/CD implementation with gitlab runners is really good.
Different types of runners is such a feasible option to integrate.
Different types of runners is such a feasible option to integrate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the gitlab runners is not able to schedule a job for longer durations and it's quiet frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves our CI/CD infrastructure by not relying on platform runners and we can do it complete in-house.
Very helpful for code sharing with team
What do you like best about the product?
Cherry pick feature for hotfix production release
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime stash changes overidrd or conflict
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Code secure with we can create tag after every release and code share with team
Optimize coding processes with efficient CI/CD while exploring AI integration
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The CI/CD process is very efficient. We are utilizing the pipelines extensively and gaining significant benefits from GitLab.
What needs improvement?
We are not using the AI process yet, however, I would like to see AI support in GitLab. Maybe it already does. I am not sure how it supports AI processes.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using GitLab for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
GitLab supports us very well.
How are customer service and support?
We do not have any direct technical support from GitLab. We ask questions to our IT department, and they may seek external support if needed.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup was handled by our IT department.
What was our ROI?
GitLab is a cost-saving tool and is particularly effective for coding processes.
What other advice do I have?
I do not have any recommendations or suggestions. I rate GitLab a ten out of ten.
