Better than GitHub

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The main reason that I decided to use GitLab instead of GitHub was its ability to create private repositories for free. This has been my favorite feature since day 1 because it allows me to secure my source code while still being able to use GitLab's easy to use management service and online source viewer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problems that I've ever experienced with GitLab in the past were outages. Most of them are relatively short when they occur, but one particular outage lasted almost an entire day because a large amount of production data was removed. I, however, was not personally affected by this. Additionally, project icons have a fairly small maximum size. This isn't a major issue, but it is still somewhat annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab gives me a place to ensure that all of my source code is backed up and protected. Like most version control services, GitLab also lets me easily manage different versions and branches of a single project in case I need to make changes without altering the entire code base.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend downloading the unofficial Lab Coat for GitLab app if you have an Android device. It isn't an official app produced by GitLab, but it is a convenient way to quickly view projects on the go.

GitLab Review

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Seems like a fully featured, self-hosted option that can be an alternative to GitHub and other similar product. I like the overall styling of the user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the user interface is a little bit confusing at first, but that may be because I'm used to GitHub. I'm specifically concerned with navigation within the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used it working as a teaching assistant at a bootcamp and we use it as a repository for students to be able to pull down the latest source code activities and lessons.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Some of the coolest features aren't readily apparent (integration with slack), but setting them up once located is pretty easy.

Even better than GitHub

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's open source. It works, and it has every feature you might want.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit memory-heavy but all related software is, so no biggie.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manage source code and builds for several projects, mostly web related. It's
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's definitely worth it, like GitHub but open source. If you are a big open source guy/girl you should definitely give this a try

Gitlab - free and premium

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is really easy to use and have quite nice UI/UX. Today they change design a bit and now it looks even better.
I need to say, I love Code Review system implemented in this tool.
Other thing I really like in this app is big database of integration tools. We connect our self-hosted gitlab with Jira and Confluence and now job goes way better!
I thing GitLab is best service for self-hosed solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Speed while using free version. I've tested couple of most popular free git services like github and bitbucket. Biggest different I felt while using GitLab was speed of push and pull requests. GitLab was the slowest one.. Sometimes I had to wait about 15s before info in the console shows up, to write my ssh key. But that was about 1 year ago. Maybe now things change.
And I have to write this again - speed issue occurs only in the free version, hosted by GitLab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping while using Git Flow methodology in my team.
Good integration tools with Slack, Jira and Confluence help to work on project not only for developers but also for the clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to use git and host your versioning system somewhere in the internet for free I think GitLab isn't the best solution for you. I will recommend to check BitBucket instead (or GitHub if you prefer to share your open source project). Main issue of this version was speed.. About one year ago repos hosted by me on github was quite laggy.
But if you'd like to host you versioning system by your own, and create something bigger.. And if you have some money to spend for this, I think GitLab can be suitable for your needs.
Code Review and Merging branches works like a charm, I think those are one of the best functionalities.
You will also get abilities to install plenty of integration tools.

Great self-hosted open-source source control system

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I liked the control over the software that comes with self-hosting, as opposed to cloud services where a company can just update the versions without warning, potentially breaking useful features. The ability to know where my code was always physically located was nice as well
What do you dislike about the product?
The deployment procedure could be more streamlined, from what I recall- it was a difficult process which involved a lot of convoluted work in the Ruby interpreter. However, this was some time ago- it may be more streamlined now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me a useful place to store my code which remains within my control. I was able to trivially have a place to go for all of my code version control and know that I was backing up my own work in more than one place. I didn't need to actually use the cloud service, a self-hosted solution was sufficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This was not used by the company itself- it was a personal solution I deployed for my own use. As a personal code repository I was very pleased and would use the same product again in the future

One of a kind solution for a project life cycle

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that you can have the whole project development lifecycle in one place. Also being able to track issues and check stats is a huge plus. Also can't forget the mention the site is incredibly easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real gripe I have is it's lack of user base. Everyone uses Git, I like this better, I want it to be the be the go-to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem we solved was having a one stop shop. before we were spread across different platforms and solutions. Now we are all just in this one space. And in turn the major benefit was being organized and efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would try it. I feel you are not doing yourself any favors by ignoring this website/platform

Rich of features, enterprise first

  • October 24, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- webhooks, integration with Jira, Slack, ets.
- commenting feature - it's great, no doubtes.
- trello-like board for task. It's useful for small projects then you don't want to use external task management tool such as Jira.
- activity feed
What do you dislike about the product?
the thing that bother me most is a speed. It's so slow! To load a diff for code and comments takes for ages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it as a GIT client for developing projects in different temas
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Note that the UX isn't perfect at all.
