Easy to use but a bit unstable

  • July 12, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its very easy to use the basic features. Especially making merge requests because it prefills your recently pushed branch in under a minute. It also links well to Jira.
What do you dislike about the product?
Loading merge request diffs are slow especially the larger ones. The search feature isn't very refined and can only look at titles.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Code management and review. However, we are thinking of switching to GitHub.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you require just the basics or a specific plug-in then try it first. For enterprise level I think we will switch to Git Hub.

Decent GIT server if you decide to not use git hub.

What do you like best about the product?
Is pretty reliable and handles a large amount of traffic. The ability to tag people and view usable diffs is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version is lacking some real features, such as re-submitting failed merge requests. Also if a merge request is re-submitted it doesn't want to automatically merge on success.

The code review features seem lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were replacing our old SVN with a git install, and some of decision makers didn't like the idea of 3rd party source hosting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a real analysis of whether it is worthwhile to use gitlab as opposed to simply subscribing to GitHub. There is also a lack of features without paying for GitLab.

Great for Everything Except Merge Conflicts

  • February 03, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to use. Issue creation is simple and straightforward. There are many ways to custom organize issues. Milestones are AMAZING. It's great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Merge conflicts are unbelievably hard to resolve. When I have one, I decide to deal with it on my IDE instead of GitLab. It's really inefficient and needs to be modified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing issues and tracking issues over milestones. It's really helpful to have a program like this because it keeps sprints organized and we can keep track of individual contributions.

Integration with POWERBI

  • December 13, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In my project is very important the integration with POWER BI
Also I would like to mention that it's very easy to use and at the same time, very powerful
What do you dislike about the product?
so far, nothing.
Just that not all features are free
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manage the code from projects

Useful Part of Content Workflow

  • November 08, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that members of one department can upload files, my team can edit those files and merge them with the master branch, and then the website team can push the edited content to our website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be difficult to attribute changes to an employee once content has been merged into the master branch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Content contributors from different company departments need content edited before it goes online, but emailing files directly to my team is not tenable process. With GitLab, content contributors can upload content to a central repository instead sending it directly to my team.

a good job

What do you like best about the product?
The best for use GIT in your infrastructure
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the strong bond between the components
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have problem in using git at office. With gitlab we are able to use some of the best practice in software development
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very easy tool. For use in on-premise infrastructure I think it is the best open-source solution

GitLab

  • October 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are just implementing and trying this product out so far the feature that stands out the most is the integration service GitLab CI which can run automated tests after each commit and also automated staging deployments once those tests have run successfully. This is very useful for our testing servers and saves us lots of time since we do not have to manually do this process every time. It basically comes with all the functionality of git which we use at our company which is great. We started using issue tracking which is useful for pointing out bugs in the software so the right developer can fix it.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is a bit clunky for users, to many clicks for simple tasks. Mattermost is the choice integrated chat, I would rather have slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to pull all our processes together into one platform (Version control, issue tracking, planning, automatic builds, code reviewing). We realized GitLab does fill some requirements but I feel GitHub is the better option.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out its cost effective public installation on https://gitlab.com/

Solid

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to understand interface with fully baked features
What do you dislike about the product?
You can setup merge approval, which restricts merging through web interface, but it appears that you can merge via bash shell with no problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distributed software development is much easier
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solid choice

"Best software/tech opportunity I've seen in a long time"

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fine grain access control. Inferface easy to use. Emission system / milestones. Continuous integration. Loose notifications. Quick merge requests and code revisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The implementation of Git may have errors with large repos. The occasional 500 errors and push / pull faults.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Gitlab to set milestones, summarize tasks, track progress, complete code revisions, source control, code exchange.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Listen to your direct reports and the voices of your people, who have a great knowledge and experience in software and technology. They can help shape and shape where we are going in a positive way.
