A highly stable and affordable solution that provides good repository management features and support
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
The documentation is confusing. Sometimes, it is incomplete or has incorrect information. I have informed the vendor about it. Some features in the GitLab Community Edition are not available to us.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for nine months. My organization has been using it for around two years. We are using the latest version of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten. We never faced any downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability of GitLab Community Edition a seven or eight out of ten. The product could improve the scalability of GitLab Community Edition. Around 60 people are using the product in our organization.
How are customer service and support?
Their support is good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easier for someone who knows Linux and has been working as a system administrator. We need to have experience to deploy the solution. It takes around three to four hours to deploy the solution.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are using the open-source version, anyone can download it.
What other advice do I have?
I am my company’s GitLab administrator. Many features we need are available in Enterprise Edition. If we say that we do not have enough features in GitLab Community Edition, GitLab might just ask us to upgrade to Enterprise Edition. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
With great integration capabilities for small companies, the tool also provides a reasonable amount of stability
What is our primary use case?
My company's programmers use GitLab for everyday development purposes.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable feature is that it is compatible with GitHub. The product's integration capabilities are sufficient for our small company of 35 people.
What needs improvement?
Some of the programmers in my company have had complaints about the product.
We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space. We had to do some low-level system interventions to recover the server from GitLab in our company. It would be good if GitLab implemented some diagnostic features so that the server prevents functioning when it detects insufficient disk space. It is important to prevent cache to avoid running out of disk space. Considering the aforementioned details, making a recovery wasn’t simple.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with GitLab.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Owing to the small size of my company, we do not need to utilize the scalability feature of the product.
My company has around 20 users of the product.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of GitLab was okay.
The setup phase was completed in a day.
Our company has DevOps and CI/CD to help us with the deployment process of the product.
Though I am unsure, I feel that the solution is deployed on-premises.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment phase was carried out with the in-house members of our company.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Speaking about the pricing of the solution, my company uses GitLab Community Edition.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing GitLab, my company had considered Microsoft TFS during the evaluation phase.
What other advice do I have?
GitLab is a product managed by the department of programmers in our company, and I am not much involved in it.
I recommend the solution to those planning to use it.
I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.
