GitLab Dev experience
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is best in terms of managing code. The best part is even if a developer commits the code then they have to send a request to merge their code to the main branch. This helps prevent unnecessary check-ins to the main branch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrating it with Visual Studio is not easy compared to TFS. There are different extensions and sometimes it causes issues while committing the code via Visual studio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used GitLab to develop our client's project using its other features like comparing the code. Checking the history and finally creating different branches for different modules.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are planning to use GitLab then I would recommend you to understand ut from scratch. Like how your existing project can be migrated and how to set up a pipeline. If you simply try to learn how to commit the code and set up a new branch then you may struggle a bit. Once you understand code migration to Gitlab from scratch then it will be a piece of cake for you.

My Development experience with GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
It is an open-source software project and has free version limited options. If a developer at a beginner or a self programmer free plan also helps a lot to make the development environment perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are working with a team or a large company free plan does not enough, need to go with a paid plan. GitLab paid too expensive comparing some other services. Sometimes if you go with a premium plan its features might not be enough for you to handle your project requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our startup company needed a VCS and DevOps platform to work collaboratively with team members. When comparing other available services we selected GitLab, because its free version also provides perfect features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have been using GitLab for 5 years now. So far it provided the best quality services. So my experience I recommended if you want Devops and VCS software GitLab is the best option. You can use it freely without any cost with limited features. But if you want you can go with a premium version with all the features.
Best code version control and code sharing platform available for businesses
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful feature I found while using GitLab is how easy it is for an organization to manage its multiple projects in one place. Project managers can create a new repository for a new project and add the members as per the need.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not many things that I can list as my dislikings when talking about GitLab, but since I have to mention here, I'd go with the need for a better UI.
What I'm talking about here is how we have a feature to change the UI themes, but not many great options to choose from. I mean changing just the color is too old stuff now, there should be more options available for complete UI.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The number one problem it solves is taking all the pain out of code sharing and version control systems. All the members of the projects can make different changes in the codebase and then proceed to merge their versions into the main code, exactly how it's supposed to be done, and this tool makes this work effortless.
User friendly environment
What do you like best about the product?
We can. Create our pipeline and we can add Jenkins on top of it to automate the deployment process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much but one thing is we can add more user roles so that any organisation can handle it seemlessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Editing multiple files via UI is problematic, also showing diff in code is also not that much prefect. Resolving conflicts is need improvement

Gitlab, the ideal devops platform for getting the job done

The user interface is good. All the tabs and menu options are well placed. Easy to find what a user is looking for. I have also used Azure Devops platform and felt that this is a great alternative.
What do you dislike about the product?
While using Gitlab I faced some issues related to the Gitlab account access. I faced that issue in Firefox browser but it was working fine on Chrome. Looked like something related to the cookies but couldn't figure it out. Tried restarting the system but all in vain. Ultimately setting the right ssl headers solved the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Gitlab we can make use of a highly functional devops platform. It provides issue tracking on a continuous integration continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. It provides the functionality to automate the devops activities like designing, building, testing and deploying.
