Fantastic all-in-one source control

  • July 12, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab CI is a revolutionary CI, no need to connect multiple services together (ex. Github & Travis CI). The flexibility of the different types of CI runners (SSH, docker, etc) allows users to customize the experience to their needs. Another advantage of Gitlab over its competitors is the unlimited free private repositories as well as the free CI, you do need to wait for a public runner to be available which makes it hard to debug but its free.
What do you dislike about the product?
CI documentation is confusing, the documentation is all over the place, it is updated but hard to find what you want. Although free, you might have to wait several hours before your CI starts, worth paying if needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On-site deployed source control management as well as a reduction in the integration of multiple programs such as GitHub with Travis CI or Jenkins.

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.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to utilize. It makes collaboration so much easier
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints. Gitlab is a great service
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving version control problems. We’re able to work with each other rather than against

Clean and Simple

  • July 11, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is at a minimum; a complete replacement for JIRA and BitBucket for enterprise software development usage.

It gives you a somewhat clean interface and navigation to allow you to traverse the website with ease which is almost lacking with most web applications that just give you the bare minimum.

It gives you what it says it gives you, it is a platform for source versioning which also has its own build pipeline or you can also use your own by using their webhooks.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface sometimes feels quite unintuitive but I get that they're still a budding software so hopefully we'll see something better later on
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I've said, It is a complete replacement for JIRA and BitBucket hence the ticketing system, CI and Source Versioning is on point

fantastic tool for development teams

  • July 08, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This product is extremely easy to learn how to use and teach others how to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every now and then I end up in with a 3 way merge which can be tricky to resolve. Normally takes a couple times to get it done correctly. Don't see an easy way around these so it is just best to check in your code often to avoid this situation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use of this tool allows you to quickly and easily see what modifications have been done to a file prior to the final commit to the system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a very good product to use. I use to use SVN so it was an adjustment having a web perspective of the content. I would though suggest finding good resources on administrating the installation and how to customize the features, auto builds and preventing others from pushing code to main branches by accident.

Best Open Source Code Repository Application

  • June 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is one of the most user friendly open source code repository application in the market. The UI is so aesthetically pleasing and so easy to use. Allows you to create/manage/share your code base with ease. Creating branches out of your repository is the most easiest with GitLab. Allows you to review code with ease. And tracking of check-ins is made way easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The future for GitLab looks a little uncertain after Microsoft's takeover. I hope it still remains as on open source application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing of code base and it's numerous branches became easy when we moved from SVN to GIT. Developers are allowed to fork out their own branches out the master branch and make their own changes which when approved and reviewed merged back into the master. The going of back and forth action for code review was greatly reduced. Time saving for sure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Saves time, Clutter free and great way to manage code base.

Not more useful than GitHub

  • May 07, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's generally a privatized interface, so only really visible for our company. The actual GUI is actually prettier too which is nice. Navigating to certain pages is a little easier too. Obviously, having version control for software development should be a requirement, and it's better than SVN which some of our...more senior colleagues use. Searching for specific code/scripts on gitlab appears to be easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
In our integration, we lack several features available on other git clients such as github. The inline rendering of notebooks on Github, as well as the much simpler ability to share with external users is a huge plus for getting feedback and usage information. Also no trending repos to see any cool new ideas people have come up with is a minus. Furthermore, the ease of linking issues/repos/pull requests across other posts is less clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The obvious one- having version controlled software visible to the entire team. Moreso, having the ability to collaborate over large codebases while having wikis and other documentation in the same place, making it easy to figure out how to use other user's software. Lastly, the ability to see WHEN code is updated helps us ensure goals are being met.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GitHub offers more features and a much larger base for collaboration. If you need a very specific instance/implementation of git that's more customizable, my understanding is that GitLab may be for you. Probably more useful for confidential code bases.

efficient, can trace back, easy to collaborate

  • May 06, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
good for team work: each contributor push and pull progress and contribute to main
What do you dislike about the product?
maybe the user guide could be more organized and "friendly" for beginners
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we need to collaborate to finish the project, it is impossible to get that done by one person/one computer, so everyone contributes to Gitlab

Gitlab

  • May 01, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The Gitlab runners were one can integrate a pipeline test that runs when a commit is made. This test can be hooked up to AWS so for example, if you have code that creates AWS resources, the Gitlab runner can test creating said resource to make sure it works.
What do you dislike about the product?
Finding settings can be a pain- it could be streamlined a bit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as our team Git repository

Best Git Tool For Private Repos

  • May 01, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Free private repos on gitlab.com and self-hosted option for added code protection
What do you dislike about the product?
Public repos aren't as easy to search as GitHub
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At Sonny's, we use a private, self-hosted GitLab instance for managing our code without concern for our intellectual property sitting on someone else's servers.
