Decent GIT server if you decide to not use git hub.
What do you like best about the product?
Is pretty reliable and handles a large amount of traffic. The ability to tag people and view usable diffs is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version is lacking some real features, such as re-submitting failed merge requests. Also if a merge request is re-submitted it doesn't want to automatically merge on success.
The code review features seem lacking.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were replacing our old SVN with a git install, and some of decision makers didn't like the idea of 3rd party source hosting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a real analysis of whether it is worthwhile to use gitlab as opposed to simply subscribing to GitHub. There is also a lack of features without paying for GitLab.

The most generous collaboration platform
What do you like best about the product?
I like it's ui/ux which probably the most intuitive between it's competitors, but what I like the best is it's FREE Unlimited private Repository, if you are sole developer or a small company this is a generous gift for all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I know this is a feature but i kind of uncomfortable by it's overly protective rules that by default strict us to do a force push, also it had a lack of features on code reviews, there are code reviews but it just not as good as it's competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Code versioning, collaboration tools, and project management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Why you have to pay if you can have free for similar service, you could save your money for your developers.
easy to use, smooth transition
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab's interface is slick. it's bright, clear, and easy to use and also pleasant to look at on top of that!
What do you dislike about the product?
Gitlab is still not the easiest to navigate for the less-technical members of our team, however it is less daunting than other services we have used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab provides a standardized system for our employees to use that can organize myriad projects.
Fantastic Remote Git Repo
What do you like best about the product?
- Open source
- Extremely easy to setup
- Beautiful, clean interface
- Built-in CI/CD pipeline

What do you dislike about the product?
The only aspect I find annoying is user management. We authenticate using AD and I wished it would allow role based mapping via AD group membership. Right now, I need to wait for someone to sign in and then they need to manually join the groups and projects they need/want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use GitLab to control our infrastructure as code, scripts, and documentation. We're also beginning to utilize the CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and deployments. The pipeline is much easier to setup than we thought it would be.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We looked into Microsoft Team Foundation Server, but for our purposes of just storing scripts and infrastructure as code, we found GitLab to just be faster and easier to get up and running. GitLab also runs on Git which is a more widely used source control tool.
As far as the setup goes, even if you are not experienced with Linux, it is pretty easy and there is great documentation. The only difficulty may be in getting SSL working, but there is also documentation on that.

Gitlab is Great!
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is a solid product with a simple user interface. It is very easy to use and manage merge requests, todos, and small issues all in one place. The code review tools are great, and all team members can easily write comments and share feedback with the rest of the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few small bugs with the platform. For example, when a file in a merge request is defaulted to collapsed due to its length, the number of additions and deletions will not reflect the real total value, creating a minor inconvenience. The online merge conflict resolution is also error-prone, and I'd recommend resolving any merge conflicts locally and using Gitlab to review afterwards. The Issues feature is nice, but I'd recommend using another product to manage the tracking of larger issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is a great, competitively priced version control platform. There are a few bugs and improvements that could be made, but overall I'm very happy with my and my team's experience. Gitlab helps drive efficiency by greatly reducing the time required to go from a dev saying their code is complete, to actually getting their code merged into the master branch due to the easy to use code review tooling and Todos feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gitlab is a great product and worth considering as a version control host.
Best Tool Ever
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab group all the tools that you love in a single place. You have a git repository, a git browser, git LFS, an issue management system, scrum boards, merge requests, and a beautiful and easy to use CI tool.
And everything is free. But if you need an extra power, you can always pay to have some state of the art support and some other functionalities.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some awesome features, like reviewers, are just present on the paid version, which is sad :(
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
After we implanted Gitlab, we managed to cut our time-to-market in 74% with the CI tool, and it became easier to manage all our projects. It gave us more visibility.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just use it. It's easy to use, easy to setup, and full of tools to help you solve your problems.
GitLab is adequate, but code review tools could be better
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with git.
Code Review tools - we did not have anything before we started using GitLab, so even though there is room for improvement, it is better than what we had.

Less well-known but awesome software versioning system.

The interface is clean and easy to navigate. It has regular updates adding new features mostly relating to project planning and management. It has the option to make repositories private without additional costs.

Sometimes the interface changes a bit after a update making it annoying to find commonly used functions.

Software versioning system with the clearest interface
What do you like best about the product?
The overview if you have many projects is great. It is clear to see what activity has taken place on each project while you were away. The application is updated often and they add alot of functionalities relating to project planning/Agile.
What do you dislike about the product?
The common updates are often accompanied by UI changes, which means that after each update they move some common features around. This is a minor inconvenience, since it means I often 'lose' commonly used functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team uses Gitlab for software versioning of our companies various projects. It allows our team to stay connected on each others progress and provide comments and discussion on issues and code.
