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!!

Fantastic all-in-one source control

  • July 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab CI is a revolutionary CI, no need to connect multiple services together (ex. Github & Travis CI). The flexibility of the different types of CI runners (SSH, docker, etc) allows users to customize the experience to their needs. Another advantage of Gitlab over its competitors is the unlimited free private repositories as well as the free CI, you do need to wait for a public runner to be available which makes it hard to debug but its free.
What do you dislike about the product?
CI documentation is confusing, the documentation is all over the place, it is updated but hard to find what you want. Although free, you might have to wait several hours before your CI starts, worth paying if needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On-site deployed source control management as well as a reduction in the integration of multiple programs such as GitHub with Travis CI or Jenkins.

Best Open Source Code Repository Application

  • June 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is one of the most user friendly open source code repository application in the market. The UI is so aesthetically pleasing and so easy to use. Allows you to create/manage/share your code base with ease. Creating branches out of your repository is the most easiest with GitLab. Allows you to review code with ease. And tracking of check-ins is made way easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The future for GitLab looks a little uncertain after Microsoft's takeover. I hope it still remains as on open source application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing of code base and it's numerous branches became easy when we moved from SVN to GIT. Developers are allowed to fork out their own branches out the master branch and make their own changes which when approved and reviewed merged back into the master. The going of back and forth action for code review was greatly reduced. Time saving for sure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Saves time, Clutter free and great way to manage code base.

Best Git Tool For Private Repos

  • May 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free private repos on gitlab.com and self-hosted option for added code protection
What do you dislike about the product?
Public repos aren't as easy to search as GitHub
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At Sonny's, we use a private, self-hosted GitLab instance for managing our code without concern for our intellectual property sitting on someone else's servers.

Fantastic Remote Git Repo

  • April 26, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Open source
- Extremely easy to setup
- Beautiful, clean interface
- Built-in CI/CD pipeline
What do you dislike about the product?
The only aspect I find annoying is user management. We authenticate using AD and I wished it would allow role based mapping via AD group membership. Right now, I need to wait for someone to sign in and then they need to manually join the groups and projects they need/want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use GitLab to control our infrastructure as code, scripts, and documentation. We're also beginning to utilize the CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and deployments. The pipeline is much easier to setup than we thought it would be.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We looked into Microsoft Team Foundation Server, but for our purposes of just storing scripts and infrastructure as code, we found GitLab to just be faster and easier to get up and running. GitLab also runs on Git which is a more widely used source control tool.

As far as the setup goes, even if you are not experienced with Linux, it is pretty easy and there is great documentation. The only difficulty may be in getting SSL working, but there is also documentation on that.

Best Tool Ever

  • April 05, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab group all the tools that you love in a single place. You have a git repository, a git browser, git LFS, an issue management system, scrum boards, merge requests, and a beautiful and easy to use CI tool.

And everything is free. But if you need an extra power, you can always pay to have some state of the art support and some other functionalities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some awesome features, like reviewers, are just present on the paid version, which is sad :(
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After we implanted Gitlab, we managed to cut our time-to-market in 74% with the CI tool, and it became easier to manage all our projects. It gave us more visibility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just use it. It's easy to use, easy to setup, and full of tools to help you solve your problems.
