Powerful team collaboration tool for managing software development projects

  • March 22, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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.

the perfect alternative for github

  • January 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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

  • January 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Portfolio Management, Project Management: Issues, Issue Boards, Issue Weights, Labels, Milestones, and burndown charts.
Source Code Management, Continuous Integration (CI): Pipeline, CI Runner, Jobs, Scheduled Jobs, Testing, Security Scanning (SAST), and Code Quality.
Continuous Delivery: Partial Deploys, and Feature Flags.
Application Configuration Management: Application Monitoring.
Integration - SCM(GitHub), CI: Integrations with Jenkins, Circle CI, Bamboo or other CI servers. CD: Integrations with common CD tools such as Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Jenkins and others.

Gitlab is Great

  • December 27, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab as compared to GitHub has built in CI/CD. You do not have to rely on other software like TravisCI, but can easily do everything with one configuration file. Also you are able to host Gitlab internally.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I can think of that I dislike, besides a few minor style choices for the UI that I think GitHub does a little better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab allows for easy storage, and sharing of code needed for various parts of the project. It also makes it easy to create repositories for shared code that is common to many parts of the project.

More personal than github

  • September 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its our own system now, it is not like we use Github in a common space, we lay by our rules here.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, it has been built as a copy of Github and some features are not ready yet or have been developed lately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our code are now in private repositories with a complex permission system.

Awesome tool for VCS

  • August 14, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that they provide an enterprise edition and a community edition that is free unlike the enterprise one. You can host it yourself and be the only one that is responsible for the hosting. The user interface is great; simple, clear and intuitive for both developer and other users. It's well engineered and updated often.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features that some might think are essential are not in the community edition
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can host the code of any of our projects using Git and setup continuous integration pipelines for code that is reviewer by other developers easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's recommended that you host it yourself, you will have a better time and if you got the spare space for running Gitlab on your servers it's a no brainer.

The Best Tool for CI/CD and more

  • July 30, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab's interface is one-of-a-kind. It's really a great looking UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing that I dislike. Gitlab is all about how you "use" the tool. Our team uses almost every single part of functionality that Gitlab offers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for continuous integration/deployment.
We run all of our pipelines through it.
We also it for our daily standups. It has the best Kanban board that you can have. The labels/tags make it easy to track tickets/issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it! It's the best tool for dev teams hands down. I've worked with it at several companies, and I can guarantee that you will love it and not want to use any other dev tool (even github). The only downside I can see is that it doesn't link to your github repo, which is often times what companies look at. It would be nice to showcase your daily commits on your public github repo from gitlab. Obviously there is a conflict of interest there, so that will probably never happen.

When it comes to dev teams, Gitlab really helps boost productivity and provide an-all-in-one place for devs to track issues, fix bugs, and talk about problems. Gitlab has great slack integration too, and I would recommend using them together. Finally, Gitlab's pipeline let's us run all of our testing suite inside of it. It's nice to just have everything "work" so seamlessly. Gitlab makes it really easy for devs to be able to focus on fixing issues and not managing the tool itself. Thanks Gitlab team!!
