Gitlab - free and premium

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is really easy to use and have quite nice UI/UX. Today they change design a bit and now it looks even better.
I need to say, I love Code Review system implemented in this tool.
Other thing I really like in this app is big database of integration tools. We connect our self-hosted gitlab with Jira and Confluence and now job goes way better!
I thing GitLab is best service for self-hosed solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Speed while using free version. I've tested couple of most popular free git services like github and bitbucket. Biggest different I felt while using GitLab was speed of push and pull requests. GitLab was the slowest one.. Sometimes I had to wait about 15s before info in the console shows up, to write my ssh key. But that was about 1 year ago. Maybe now things change.
And I have to write this again - speed issue occurs only in the free version, hosted by GitLab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping while using Git Flow methodology in my team.
Good integration tools with Slack, Jira and Confluence help to work on project not only for developers but also for the clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to use git and host your versioning system somewhere in the internet for free I think GitLab isn't the best solution for you. I will recommend to check BitBucket instead (or GitHub if you prefer to share your open source project). Main issue of this version was speed.. About one year ago repos hosted by me on github was quite laggy.
But if you'd like to host you versioning system by your own, and create something bigger.. And if you have some money to spend for this, I think GitLab can be suitable for your needs.
Code Review and Merging branches works like a charm, I think those are one of the best functionalities.
You will also get abilities to install plenty of integration tools.

Great self-hosted open-source source control system

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I liked the control over the software that comes with self-hosting, as opposed to cloud services where a company can just update the versions without warning, potentially breaking useful features. The ability to know where my code was always physically located was nice as well
What do you dislike about the product?
The deployment procedure could be more streamlined, from what I recall- it was a difficult process which involved a lot of convoluted work in the Ruby interpreter. However, this was some time ago- it may be more streamlined now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me a useful place to store my code which remains within my control. I was able to trivially have a place to go for all of my code version control and know that I was backing up my own work in more than one place. I didn't need to actually use the cloud service, a self-hosted solution was sufficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This was not used by the company itself- it was a personal solution I deployed for my own use. As a personal code repository I was very pleased and would use the same product again in the future

One of a kind solution for a project life cycle

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that you can have the whole project development lifecycle in one place. Also being able to track issues and check stats is a huge plus. Also can't forget the mention the site is incredibly easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real gripe I have is it's lack of user base. Everyone uses Git, I like this better, I want it to be the be the go-to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem we solved was having a one stop shop. before we were spread across different platforms and solutions. Now we are all just in this one space. And in turn the major benefit was being organized and efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would try it. I feel you are not doing yourself any favors by ignoring this website/platform

Rich of features, enterprise first

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- webhooks, integration with Jira, Slack, ets.
- commenting feature - it's great, no doubtes.
- trello-like board for task. It's useful for small projects then you don't want to use external task management tool such as Jira.
- activity feed
What do you dislike about the product?
the thing that bother me most is a speed. It's so slow! To load a diff for code and comments takes for ages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as a GIT client for developing projects in different temas
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Note that the UX isn't perfect at all.

A feature-rich git hosting solution

  • October 01, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Not only does Gitlab provide all the basic features that you've come to expect from a git hosting solution with an easy-to-use and pleasing-to-eyes UI, it goes much farther than that. It provides a product that you can rely for the entire SDL (software development lifecycle). For example, it provides a capable issue tracker, issue boards, code quality reports for "merge requests" ("pull requests" in Github lingo), built-in continuous integration and continuous deployment and so on! Having this all in one place instead of having to manage a myriad of products is highly convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the UI in Gitlab is good enough, it still isn't as good as Github (a leading rival). It isn't as snappy either.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At work, we want a nice self-hosted git hosting solution that costs little and still meets all our needs. Thus, Gitlab community edition is a natural solution (costs nothing, has all the features we need).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Browse the differences between Gitlab community edition and enterprise edition. If you need the enterprise edition, you should compare the current prices with Github, which is a good solution too.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Love that it's a free tool at the start for startups to try.

The design is a bit clunky and could use some more hierarchy

We use it as a git repository, version history and task manager. Great to keep teams organized.

Gitlab provides great centralized repo management

  • September 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to see MRs in progress, decent code diff display, inline review commenting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't start with all files in a diff collapsed. Lag for email notifications when commenting on diffs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We control changes to our source code repos by requiring merge requests and code review. This provides oversight and a history of who did what and when.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have a self-hosted instance. It can be a little slow to respond, but then that may be due to other factors like network speed, etc.
