Works well for document control

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that GitLab is open source and can be set up as a private server on our company's intranet. The UI is also simple enough for non-technical members of our team to easily use, but contains all of the features we need. Creating repositories is simple, as is tracking changes. In short, it does all of the basics of what we need it to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
While we use GitLab for a non-standard purpose (version control of documentation). This means that there are no native tools or plugins to let us comp Word documents. I was able to resolve this issue by writing a program to do so, but in terms of plug-and-play, it was a bit disappointing. Installing GitLab was initially a bit of a hassle because of our network settings; we are a branch office and needed to contact corporate to modify some firewall and network settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem we have solved with GitLab is keeping track of the most up-to-date versions of a dizzying number of documents. Because using out-of-date documentation has in the past caused critical errors in deployment, GitLab has helped us immeasurably.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't overlook GitLab if you need version control for non-code text/documentation.

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

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified 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.

Gitlab Makes Development Streamlined

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is a git repository that makes keeping track of code changes easy. The biggest benefit is that it can be self-hosted. The one thing that sets git lab apart from the rest is that it allows for personal contribution to the development efforts. There is also new features being released constantly which makes it easy to keep up with some of the larger repo systems our there. Gitlab also make it easy to manage at an organization level. This means that I can set up repos or groups and have people set up with very specific access.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not to many things I can think of. Probably the biggest issue is that gitlab can be behind on some features compared to other repo systems. Not all of the more know features in some of the other repo systems out there may not have been considered as important and worth the development effort. The other thing that I dislike is that there does not seem to be nearly as many integrations available as there are with other repos like Github.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab provides a method to keep accurate change management across code and database development. It also provides a way to log issues and keep track of development todos. The last major benefits is that it creates a centralized way track code and its history.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The self-hosted version is great, though if you do not have the infrastructure or hardware available to host your own version, the subscription version is a nice alternative.

Good private git management tool.

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Good full feature git management tool. It is easy for you to set up a private server. It is very convenience.
What do you dislike about the product?
For my use case, the performance of gitlab is not very good. I have a small private server. It works fine normally, but when multiple user signing up, It will have a delay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It help our team manage different repos, have a good permission management system which is quite helpful for our team to give different permission to teammates.

Gitlab is great for sharing code among peers

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the fact that GitLab makes it easy to share code with peers. At my current job as a Teaching Fellow for a programming bootcamp, our lead instructor does upload the version that he created and for us to use a reference. Having one centralized location for all of us to go and look at solved code is something that is very valuable, as there are times when even we (the TA's) need some help at certain points.
What do you dislike about the product?
I currently don't have much dislikes of gitlab. I feel that it offers pretty much everything that is needed. One problem is the learning curve to get efficient usage out of this service, but that can be said for many more things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Professionally we use GitLab as the centralized location for all of our breakout session answers. In coding there are many ways to answer a question, and the main instructor has a certain way it was done. This is great to reflect upon if we ever get stuck, or to try and analyze to better provide an explanation for my students.
Personally, I used GitLab as central hub to track my own projects. Having multiple people work on a single project can sometimes get overwheling but with GitLab's version control it makes this so much easier. Overall I feel that GitLab is definitely a product that I enjoy using and want to use in a professional and personal setting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use Github as well!

GitLab is good stuff

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to set up version control without worrying about cloud storage and connectivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Basically, keeping things away from other git sources that I've already set up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets me have total control over version control and security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot. It's not QUITE as simple to use as Github and Bitbucket, but if you need a good piece of software, you have it here.

Great free code repository

  • October 25, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free and open-source tool with a lot of features from the box.
Easy and modern UI, possibility to create public or private projects, everything you need even in free version.
They also have a code review system, we did not use though.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't say anything particularly bad, easy to use and maintain, especially in comparison with TFS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As usual code repository, you can share your work with the rest of your team, even if they spread across the world. Merge requests, team management, reports and plans. All you need in one place!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's open-source, so as usual with such projects you can experience problems some times, but anyway you just must give it a chance and you will not want to try anything else.
