GitLab as a Powerful Central Hub for Repos, Reviews, and Automation
Reviewed on Oct 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is used extensively as the central hub of our team based workflow that handles repositories, branches, pull requests, and code reviews. Feature branches are used to control the scope of development work, and pull requests are used for reviewing, communicating, and ultimately merging changes. With Gitlab Actions, we automate testing and deployment tasks, and issues are used as a common repository of development and bug tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can feel a bit cluttered when we have lots of repos, branches, pull requests, and notifications going on simultaneously. Creating more complex GitLab Actions workflows may require a bit of technical experience for advanced CI/CD workflows. Some admin and security features require upgrading to higher-tier plans and can be costly as our team grows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is a single source control, code review, issue tracking, and CI/CD automation platform. It helps us team members to align during the development process, avoiding time spent around transferring files and wasting time arguing about edits on a code file. Pull requests and automated testing lead to more stable releases, and Actions means less time spent on runs and deployments, and more knowledge of what's happening in the process.

Integrated workflows have streamlined ticket tracking, documentation, and continuous delivery
Reviewed on Oct 07, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My basic use case for Gitlab was the ticket management, the wiki, the CI/CD pipeline, and the code repository. These four use cases form my core usage.
How has it helped my organization?
Gitlab is a developer tool, and it was easy to use. I never had to go to Jira or any project or product management tool. The wiki was there, so the onboarding of my developer was super fast.
What is most valuable?
Having everything in a single place in GitLab means I do not have to go to any other tool while I am working on GitLab. That was the major advantage.
The ticket management was the part that I was using in GitLab.
Since I was a solo developer, I never used Integrated Code Review in GitLab extensively. However, for teams, it is really useful.
Integrated Code Review is definitely an important feature in GitLab because as soon as the code is committed in a branch, the deployment is a major aspect. Making sure that the build is working fine, testing it, and having it deployed is critical, and GitLab provides a good feature in that area.
I have not heavily used the security scanning part of GitLab.
The ticket management and wiki part I mentioned earlier was what I was using with one of my team members in GitLab.
What needs improvement?
Since GitLab [Private Offer Only] the main part is the Git part. With AI being available, I see one thing happening. For example, Claude Code allows people to connect Jira or ClickUp, and then they connect GitHub to get the work done. If you can bring in a feature of the AI that can help do the project management and the code commits in a single MCP since the project management is in GitLab [Private Offer Only] and the code is in GitLab [Private Offer Only], that would help get rid of Jira and all these things. This will have two benefits. One, the onboarding will be easy. The second thing is people will not have to pay an additional amount for Jira or ClickUp.
For how long have I used the solution?
I was using GitLab for my personal project for the last five years, not for professional projects.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I never had any issue with GitLab. For me, it is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
For me, GitLab was a scalable solution.
How are customer service and support?
I never had any problem and never had to reach out to the support of GitLab.
How was the initial setup?
I have used the cloud version of GitLab. I have not tried the self-hosted version, so I cannot comment on that.
I never got a requirement to have a self-deployed GitLab instance.
What was our ROI?
Developer time is important. If you save time in the development with GitLab, that is a value of money. If things are getting done faster, then that is a good ROI.
It varies team by team, but based on my experience, GitLab saved my time between 10% to 15%.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I was using the free version of GitLab , but I think the price is comparative and not a major differentiator.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
When I started using GitLab, I wanted a combo of the features. There was ticket management, there was the wiki, and there was a CI/CD pipeline, everything was there. GitLab was the first to provide all these things, and later on, GitHub has taken all these things, but GitHub is a follower. GitLab is the pioneer of these things. That is why I started taking it and that was the main motivating factor for me.
What other advice do I have?
GitLab is on its own cloud.
I have purchased security products from AWS Marketplace, but that is not related to GitLab. It is AWS, and I used Kaspersky for my servers when I was doing PCI DSS for one of my companies.
I rate GitLab an eight out of ten.

What do you like best about the product?
Interfase is pretty solid. Managing projects feels really simple, and tracking commits and their history is just as straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced settings for enabling PAT (or something similar) can feel a bit complex, but the documentation clearly explains what to do and helps bridge that gap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing projects, tracking history, and have control all over the information we sahre.

Reliable CI/CD and Code Collaboration in One Platform
Reviewed on Aug 14, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is most helpful because it brings source code, issue tracking, merge requests, and CI/CD into one place. I like that the workflow is fairly organized, so it’s easy to track changes and see what needs attention without switching between several tools. The integrations are useful when connecting GitLab with other development tools, and the CI/CD features are a strong advantage for automating builds and deployments. The interface is generally clear, although some advanced settings can take time to get familiar with. Overall, it offers good value for teams that actually use its broader DevSecOps capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is that GitLab can feel a little overwhelming when you first start using it, especially with the number of settings and DevOps features available. Some parts of the UI could be more intuitive, and finding specific configuration options can take a bit of time. The platform is powerful, but smaller teams may not use enough of the features to fully justify the cost of higher-tier plans. The integrations are useful, although setting up some of them can require extra configuration. AI features are helpful in certain workflows, but I wouldn’t consider them the main reason to choose GitLab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab helps solve the problem of having development work spread across different tools. Keeping code, merge requests, issue tracking, and CI/CD in one platform makes it easier to follow work from development through deployment. It also reduces some manual steps through automation, which helps keep the workflow consistent. Performance has generally been reliable for day-to-day development, and the documentation and built-in guidance are useful when setting things up, although more complex workflows can still require some time to learn.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have a shared project with versioning is really practical for computer projects carried out in groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, I find that we quickly become overloaded with information when managing requests, branches, etc. When we don't use it very intensively, we can quickly get lost and make mistakes that cost us a lot of time.

Have real-time sharing of multiple files for a project. Versioning allows you to always revert to a stable and functional version if necessary.

Easy Setup, Seamless Integrations, and Great Support
Reviewed on Jul 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to set up and use, making team collaboration efficient and beginner‑friendly. It integrates well with all my applications, has great support, and I really enjoy using it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing models could be more competitive. Only a limited number of users can obtain developer access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It basically makes collaboration and teamwork efficient across various development roles, especially in software development.
As an AI developer, I find it makes a lot of sense to use it when working with several teammates on a single project because you don’t have to make changes simultaneously.
Thus, merging and forking are very easy. With the AI capabilities that GakeLab has developed, it also helps resolve issues much more quickly.
