Powerful and easy GIT collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Almost as powerful as Github is and can be installed on premise for free. Merge request and code reviews are really powerful, allowing to manage a new feature under development as a social network conversation where all the team collaborate with the developer in charge, allowing more robust code to be finally deployed. Webhooks allow easy integration with other tools like CI/CD
What do you dislike about the product?
Some options aren't easy to find, what sometime makes solving an issue slightly confusing.
Protecting branches by default is something that can be confusing at the first time.
Changing ownership of a project is not straightforward.
Managing user permissions can be confising.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development team collaboration and source code management. It is easy to navigate the history code, allow the team review changes and comment about them before merging and to work with many projects and git branches.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GitLab have improved a lot in the past two years, becoming a first option when selecting a GIT collaboration and management system. Is a powerful option that can be deployed both on cloud or on premise without compromise. Allowing private repositories is what makes GitLab shine.

Gitlab: Github for Testing Needs
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the ability to have my pull requests run through a Jenkins job. This ensures that my code is working and meets the best practices.
What do you dislike about the product?
DevOps needs to make sure that the jobs run correctly. This isn't always the case, and may cause some confusion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problems solved by GitLab include the ability to manage a large amount of code. It simplifies the QA side of things by guaranteeing code is ready for production when it enters the repo.
My GitLab review
What do you like best about the product?
I really liked the efficiency, when committing and using merge requests on source codes you're submitting in. Merge requests are very useful when doing peer reviews. Additionally, it allows other Developers to make any necessary changes within merge requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Part of what I disliked about using the GitLab is submitting all merge requests in one branch at once. It is because it creates major merge conflicts with other source code changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing a User Interface for the Client. I realized that its beneficial because of the efficiency and how effective peer reviews are in GitLab.
Lower cost, yet full featured, alternative to GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to integrate with a CI platform like Jenkins using webhooks, which is great for getting feedback on the results of a build as merge requests are updated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its interface can be buggy at times. For example, the worker process that updates the status of merge requests and commits in the background, when overloaded, can take a few seconds to catch up, so you might see inconsistencies locally versus what is displayed in the GitLab UI. Also, some parts of the interface are difficult to work with, and some forms will reset your information when changing certain fields (such as when creating a merge request and changing the target branch).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used GitLab as an alternative source control management system to Perforce because Git can be easier to work with and GitLab is cheaper than some of the other enterprise Git hosting solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your organization can afford it, you might want to trial GitHub, as it is a more widely adopted solution and I've found that the UX is much more pleasant.
Professional GIT
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, good diff tools, nice commenting features, repository management and searching.
What do you dislike about the product?
Merge requests aren't handled as well as GitHub.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Source control for non-public code repositories.
Gets the Job Done
What do you like best about the product?
Best thing about Gitlab, is that it allows users to create private repositories for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that I disliked was how the settings and dashboards were a bit confusing to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using GitLab as a code repository for all my work. I have realized that it is a dependable repository to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a code repository, version control, or peer task management.
Better than GitHub
What do you like best about the product?
The main reason that I decided to use GitLab instead of GitHub was its ability to create private repositories for free. This has been my favorite feature since day 1 because it allows me to secure my source code while still being able to use GitLab's easy to use management service and online source viewer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problems that I've ever experienced with GitLab in the past were outages. Most of them are relatively short when they occur, but one particular outage lasted almost an entire day because a large amount of production data was removed. I, however, was not personally affected by this. Additionally, project icons have a fairly small maximum size. This isn't a major issue, but it is still somewhat annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab gives me a place to ensure that all of my source code is backed up and protected. Like most version control services, GitLab also lets me easily manage different versions and branches of a single project in case I need to make changes without altering the entire code base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend downloading the unofficial Lab Coat for GitLab app if you have an Android device. It isn't an official app produced by GitLab, but it is a convenient way to quickly view projects on the go.
Great version control for enterprise companies
What do you like best about the product?
User interface is clean and easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
Limits on personal project repos, does gitlab charge extra for those?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating enterprise UI components and using GitLab to for version control on updates of those components.
GitLab Review
What do you like best about the product?
Seems like a fully featured, self-hosted option that can be an alternative to GitHub and other similar product. I like the overall styling of the user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the user interface is a little bit confusing at first, but that may be because I'm used to GitHub. I'm specifically concerned with navigation within the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it working as a teaching assistant at a bootcamp and we use it as a repository for students to be able to pull down the latest source code activities and lessons.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Some of the coolest features aren't readily apparent (integration with slack), but setting them up once located is pretty easy.
Even better than GitHub
What do you like best about the product?
It's open source. It works, and it has every feature you might want.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit memory-heavy but all related software is, so no biggie.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manage source code and builds for several projects, mostly web related. It's
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's definitely worth it, like GitHub but open source. If you are a big open source guy/girl you should definitely give this a try
