Everything you need for development
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive, end-to-end coverage of the entire software development process. There's no need to worry about cobbling together a bunch of disparate projects and maintain the glue that holds everything together. GitLab gives back to the open source community by offering free GitLab Enterprise licenses to open source software developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab's documentation is comprehensive but not always intuitive. For a project of this magnitude, it should focus on including more training instructions in addition to the reference documentation to show real-world examples of how people can use it.
The company behind GitLab has made some questionable decisions, although it has recovered well for them. For instance, most recently, they decided to embed a whole lot of telemetry in GitLab. They backpedaled after a day when the community erupted in protest. I'm glad they listened, but I have to think: what were they thinking?
There are so many services that spy on users these days that having a trustworthy reputation is priceless. That reputation has been tarnished.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The software developers I know use a workflow comprised of individual products stitched together. The time maintaining that is time that could be better spent doing what developers do best: developing. When I had an opportunity to recommend a product for my department's workflow, I chose GitLab, and I haven't been disappointed.
It isn't hard to see why GitLab is so popular; it has more or less everything you need. Some of its components aren't quite as strong as competitors, but nothing touches the sheer amount of stuff it packs into each release. The developers seem genuinely interested in DevOps and supporting the open source community.
Like, after Microsoft bought GitHub, some open source developers who were opposed to using Microsoft products (bravo!) wanted to migrate their projects to an alternative. GitLab transitioned their hosted offering way from Azure and offered free GitLab Gold licenses to educational institutions and open source developers. I gained a great deal of respect for GitLab through that. (Yes, I'm one of *those people* who doesn't trust Microsoft's apparent change of heart on open source.)
GitLab has helped me master Git, CI/CD pipelines, and software development in general through the many resources it offers. I don't have to spend time learning so many separate services and figuring out how everything fits together. I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a great tool for their development activities.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a little expensive, especially when you consider that a lot of component services may be free, but don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish - there's a lot of value for having everything under one roof.

Make your projects productive with GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many things that I prefer in this application that it has a unique way of managing workflow that doesn’t allow only to burdensome few individuals. Although it helps in creating different task panels that are required for assigning of task to all the individuals in a proper way. Apart from this it has a best interface that is intuitive enough to perform difficult tasks as well. Furthermore, I can even create a proper repository through this platform and further setting permissions for a specific purpose is frequent in it.
What do you dislike about the product?
This product has no bigger disadvantage and drawback only the subscription plans are not enough good. Moreover, it has the ability to sync files according to my need so, I don’t think of anything useless in it.

Indeed a good product to be suggested in case of maintaining group works and also to share them with teammates how they should work or not. Everything is so much fascinating in it that perfectly meets my desire of group work.

GitLab offers a variety of features for importing and exporting certain projects to anywhere. Also, I prefer it’s ability to create task panels that enables me to divide all the workload into different sections and also these panels can be named and assign people as well in teamwork. Best feature of this application is its ability to create repository, also to set certain permissions is making my experience more valuable on it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Each feature of GitLab is so much intuitive and effective to organize tasks at a good range. There is nothing to be worried about in this application every feature is enough useful to get all the updates from any sort of project from anywhere in the world. GitLab has no drawbacks that are significant only sometimes its working becomes slow but it can be due to overload on the system server that makes it a bit laggy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab is serving me in a very good way as it completely tracks my projects from each and every aspect and make it easier for me to keep check and balance.

Gitlab is an amazing tool for ci/cd and version control. It helps keep large projects organized.
What do you like best about the product?
Support for issue boards, for example Done, doing, and to-do boards to stay on track
What do you dislike about the product?
Strange way of archiving products developed in a group
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control; if we break our code we roll back to the previous version without any issues
The best tool to control projects
What do you like best about the product?
It supports multiple repositories, security and low cost or even though free access for individuals. Gitlab is the best on-premise solution for managing a code base with the added benefit of having a complete CI pipeline with the code. I can interact with another user and I learned a lot using this.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not like the way this utility displays the diff between 2 versions that we are a branch office and needed to contact the corporation to modify some firewall and network settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Git was not an option because I would not publish the source code to the world, but only to the target audience. We track changes to our source repositories, requiring merge requests and code review. Therefore, we use most resources to create open source solutions using GitLab to house source code.
