Reviewing about GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
The thing that I liked the most is the simplicity to read other people review
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the way that this util display the diff between 2 versions. Too many time I had to click on "view source " to see the code without disturbing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A utility to manage code of web developers
Lower cost, yet full featured, alternative to GitLab
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to integrate with a CI platform like Jenkins using webhooks, which is great for getting feedback on the results of a build as merge requests are updated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its interface can be buggy at times. For example, the worker process that updates the status of merge requests and commits in the background, when overloaded, can take a few seconds to catch up, so you might see inconsistencies locally versus what is displayed in the GitLab UI. Also, some parts of the interface are difficult to work with, and some forms will reset your information when changing certain fields (such as when creating a merge request and changing the target branch).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used GitLab as an alternative source control management system to Perforce because Git can be easier to work with and GitLab is cheaper than some of the other enterprise Git hosting solutions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your organization can afford it, you might want to trial GitHub, as it is a more widely adopted solution and I've found that the UX is much more pleasant.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosted verson control for all our company's products, and the issue management for helping organize engineer's reviews are great!
Version Control done right!
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is based on Git, a powerful Version Control System tool. It allows to exploit the maximum of file modification history. Gitlab offers great visualisation tools: commit trees, fancy charts... It simplifies communication: you can comment almost everything (commits, files, even line numbers). It also has a neat merge-request features, with code reviewing system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think GitLab is ugly, it's UI forces users to click a lot, either to access features, or to explore the project files.
Also, you cannot add several collaborators as reviewers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my job, we use GitLab to communicate on commits: we can send links to a specific line in a file, comment on code... We are also supposed to use it for code reviewing but my coworkers don't seem to be motivated for that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure you know what you are doing with Git. You can lose everything really easily!
Solid Source Control, with some odd quirks
What do you like best about the product?
The Community (free) version is surprisingly full featured. It's fairly easy to install the software, and configure new groups and projects.
It also integrates well with automated build and deploy tools like Jenkins and Maven.

What do you dislike about the product?
Getting LDAP authentication with Active Directory was somewhat painful. I also was never able to get the hook into our JIRA defect management system working properly. The documentation on this was incorrect and out of date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to get away from using Subversion, and modernize our source control system with something that integrates better with automated build and deploy products.
