Gitlab

What do you like best about the product?
With Gitlab free version we could have unlimited private repository, one of the big advantages that I see that made me migrate from the Github. GIthub only allow me to have the public repository for free.

Where I work they also use Gitlab with Jenkins integration and it works perfect.

I also love the Gitlab for not being owned by Microsoft. I like they are independent and hope they receive a lot of migrations from big projects that are current on Github.

My github account is pretty much creating nets, as I normally use it just to access open source project and sometimes make some contribution.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like that Atom does not have a good support for Gitlab. I would love if there is more integration with Visual Code, Atom and other editors.

I would love to see an official app from Gitlab (for mobile), I am using Gitfox, that is great, but has only view permission. I cannot aprove and PR and things like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am developing Backend and Apps with Gitlab.

I am currently developing a solution that allow doctors to get information from pacients (with COVID-19) from app. They can manage their equipment (breath equipment) remotely. And Gitlab free private repository helps me to do this voluntary job without any extras costs. Since we do not have received any money apport so far it is pretty good.

And if anyone wants to make an apport or support the ideia please fell free to contact.

I am working with several colleagues from university to develop a cheap breath equipment with integration for app and server - to keep ours doctors safe!

Try Gitlab if you are using Github right now

Look up and you'll see GitLab

  • May 07, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab has been my go-to got platform for about 2 years now. I was presented to it by the team I joined back them, my first impression was "Wow, this looks a lot nicer than GitHub", as I am a sucker for good UI/UX.

With experience on the platform I became more and more impressed with the whole ecosystem GitLab provides, from a project management stand and a developer stand, GitLab features a lot of tools to aid software teams.

For me, the most impressive part of their toolchain would have to be the CI/CD Platform, the ease of use and it's flexibility is wonderful. Building CI/CD pipelines never felt easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
One small problem I've had is that GitLab's search feature is sometimes wonky with it's results, sometimes dismissing personal/private projects in favor of other projects entirely, and sometimes it isn't.

Another one that is not entirely the fault of the platform, would have to be the lack of open source projects that are hosted on it. The reason for that I'd have to guess is that the name "GitHub" has become the default when talking about OSS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development related problems, those being web apps, web servers, monitoring tools, developer tools, etc.

Having both a fully feature project management suite and a highly integrated CI/CD platform are, most definitely, the biggest benefits over other Git platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider using GitLab if you want a world class CI/CD platform fully integrated with each and every project, great project management tools, a built-in package registry, great UI/UX experience on all platforms, fair pricing and the ability to roll your own.

Why we chose GitLab and never looked back

  • May 07, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With GitLab we didn't just store our source code. we also used it as our main CI/CD system.
Once we started using it we didn't look back.

Creating pipeline is easy, building docker images, storing them with release tags, integrating with Cloud provider such as AWS, to quickly launch runners with different instance types for different GitLab jobs.
All of those just work.

Creating a GitLab CI Template allowed us to run multiple projects pipelines from a single pipeline code (gitlab-ci.yml)
Integration with Kubernetes (EKS) allows us to quickly deploy our code.

Deploying code using the built in SECRETS helps to keep our source code secure.
Building and storing Artifacts is very simple to do.

Ease of use: from the time we started with GitLab and explained other teams how to use it, they just did it.
Simplicity is the main key, but when we needed to build some complex CI, it was also possible to do without too much effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab is not like Jenkins.
For example it is not possible to create a scheduled job which has a drop down menu for variables.
That is definitely a feature we would love to have on GitLab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A few years a go i had to migrate a 3rd party product into the company: take the source code, build and deploy it as a new apps.
In order to do that i tried Gitlab for the first time.

The problem i had at the time was multiple source code repositories, without any CI code and no deployment flow that needed to be created.
The source code also had Tokens and other information that should have not be there.

After cleaning those, i created the GitLab repositories and started to work on the CI/CD.

In just a few days i had 4 new microservices running as docker containers on ECS.

As a DevOps Engineer, i managed to save a lot of time, while creating an easy to understand CI/CD Flow.
That solved the "how to build and deploy microservices? " question for me, and opened the way for other teams to start using GitLab and Docker every day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gitlab can help DevOps and developers to easily build and ship code.
I think that once you get to know it, you will stick with it.

A Wonderful tool for your Digital Transformation

  • May 06, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
This is the tool for CI/CI,building boards and tracking issues from start to finish. I have used it to help diagnose work fatigue and help our colleagues determine the velocity of work. It makes commits and changes easy. I wouldn't leave home without it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jumping into the tool requires some basic training. In our world of operations, it took a few weeks for people to understand the flow of the tool. They have a lot of great documentation on their website to help through this though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are now making work visible and we are able to review code at a much faster rate. It has increased the disciplines of review and knowing our automated processes.

GitLab Review

What do you like best about the product?
I really like GitLab because it makes Git more understandable. There is a really nice user interface to configure, analyze and control your Git repositories on a server. GitLab allows you to restrict user permissions, so you can control who is able to see your repositories or who is allowed to change the repositories. Furthermore your can use automatic compilation, CI/CD and a lot of other tools.This is also very interesting for companies.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is no open-source software, so some features only available if you pay for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitLab to manage the Git repositories on a Git server and control the access to it.

GitLab does a great job at creating a experience for newly developers. We previously had several best-of solutions, co-exist between our team, but we managed to consolidate this into a single solutions, which meets most of our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just the UI can be difficult at times when first understanding how to use it and the other is aspect I find annoying is user management right now, otherwise all the things are good to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being central repository, easy to merge our cd process .
VCS is our mainly usage.
Source control for non-public code repositories.
Now our teams are better organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a secure, supple ,custom adaptable SCM solution for Enterprise applications, this is the one for you because it gives us the 100% control over the application.

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing that I like about GitLab is that it's ability to be deployed as a separate instance inside a company's firewall along with the simplicity to use, maintain and deploy. This simply provides a greater control and ensures the security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features like the ssh key integrations and other 3rd party integrations can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use a custom instance of GitLab inside the company firewall for maintaining our entire codebase. This gives us the 100% control over the application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a secure, agile ,custom deployable SCM solution for Enterprise applications, this is the one for you!

Easy to use!

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface GitLab has and I love the fact that it's extremely easy and intuitive to use. I've used GitHub and always had trouble understanding where to go and how some things work. GitLab is so damn easy to use. I believe anyone can get started in a very short amount of time. Having CI/CD as a part just simplifies things further.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wished CI was easier to set-up. There is a very detailed set of instructions of how to, but as a beginner I have had trouble following it and wish it was a bit easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm fairly new to GitLab but it has made me work faster. It's very easy to use and that adds a lot to productivity and speed.

Why Choose GitLab

  • April 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab offers a lot more functionalities than GitHub. There is built in Continuous Integration as well as more available project metrics and data. Review Apps is something that sets GitLab apart. With RAs, you can test out changes in a separate mirror without merging to the master. This is crucial when making large overhauls or comparison between the existing and edited app.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a bit weird to transition from GitHub to GitLab, especially since the interface is so different, but the experience is still user-friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used GitLab as a part of a open-source coding competition. It was just a fresher way to manage a repository and overall greater than GitHub.
