Essential tool for my team and business
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab's builtin CI is great for automated testing and deployment of our projects. We use the task board to help manage the backlog. The whole tool supports gitflow really well with references to tasks, builds, and PRs all linked together making it easy to see the changes.
The "automatic merge" feature of a Pull Request once the build has passed is really handy.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, it's hard to find anything I really dislike about Gitlab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every once and a while our builds are slow to start but we are using their shared (free) build runners so it's easy to understand.
Very good service!
What do you like best about the product?
Supports multiple repositories, granular security, and low-cost or free access for individuals. Gitlab is the best on-premise solution for managing a codebase with the added advantage of having a complete CI pipeline with the code. I can interact with another user and have learned a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the way this utility displays the diff between 2 versions as we are a branch and needed to contact the corporation to modify some firewall and network settings. - It's buggy, sometimes the file viewer is not loading - It would be done to introduce Gerrit as a more advanced review system - Sometimes the Gitlab CI runners crash - It's quite slow on good internet, loading bars everywhere
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitHub was not an option because I would not publish the source code to the world, but only to the target audience. We control changes in our source code repositories by requiring merge requests and code review. Therefore, we use most of the features to create open-source solutions using GitLab to host the source code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Use Gitlab CI, your very powerful tool - Install more plugins Definitely, continue to use GitHub as well Solid choice

What do you like best about the product?
As someone who isn't sitting in a technical role- this interface still benefits me! I'm able to look into the teams work and see how the projects are progressing. This has a direct impact on the progress of our business, the happiness of our customers, the growth of our team, and the success of our small company.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've not found anything to be negative about GitLab- anytime I have a question about a certain feature/tag/note I can easily find my answer- or my team is already well aware of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is a fine line between having a dev manage their own tasks and enabling them to get the tasks done- GitLabs allows that. Others can submit issues, and all can track what they need.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Considering the vast features and benefits to using GitLabs- I'd be interesting in knowing WHY you wouldn't want to use a tool thats been thought out to the nth degree, and yet simplified in such a way that ease of use is assumed.
CICD In a box - for free .... whats not to like?
What do you like best about the product?
No need to build and maintain a jenkins instance, a spinnaker instance, a k8s cluster, a git repo, an issue tracker, monitoring solution etc etc etc and glue them all together. Its all there in one "yum install gitlab-ce"
What do you dislike about the product?
They are a little obsessed with kubernetes to the detriment of what they could also do in the public / private cloud VM spaces, configuration management etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The code is literally traceable from the original issue, through its development, how its tests went and how it is running in production without ever leaving the interface or creating all kinds of integrations between different products
Intuitive interface to see your code
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I like most about GitLab is the find file feature. If you know the name of any file, you can type just a piece of it and it will show you all files and their paths with that piece of search text. I also really like that you can highlight a line, copy the link and send it to someone. When they open the link, it will bring them to the selected line. I also think the colors used to display the code make it much more readable. Finally, I really like how it shows you the entire history of the file throughout time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The think I like the least about GitLab is the overall search feature. It rarely works and cannot find searched text very easily. When you search for some text, it usually just says "not found". This is different from the overall find file feature, which works great. It doesn't seem to be able to cross search repositories.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab allows our team to see the current version of code that is in our master repository. It also lets us see the entire commit history on any file. We also use GitLab for version control and recovery of code. We use it to merge branches of individual work into the code base.
Great alternative for Github
What do you like best about the product?
I have used several online repositories besides GitLab but in the end I chose to stay with this one because it offers many more advantages in its free version than the others, although I currently pay the subscription that was the reason why I initially use Gitlab. Gitlab also offers different themes to change the way your repository looks.
Currently after having tested the application in its totality, I must say that GitLab implements the Git protocol very well in its platform and also offers a very complete management of the repositories through the dashboard of the website, where you can visualize all the actions carried out in the repository from merge, rebase, branch creation, change history etc ...

What do you dislike about the product?
Normally when an application offers too many advanced options it makes the same mistake and it is that it organizes badly (in my opinion) the options and creates a saturation or sensation of it, in some menus there are too many options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was looking for an alternative to maintaining a local or remote repository on my own servers since its management is much more complicated and it took time to complete the projects. Gitlab manages the repositories and offers to use them 24/7 without interruption.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend using Gitlab, especially if you come from other repositories in the cloud that are gitlab competition because the application offers many options in your dashboard and the free version is somewhat more complete than its competitors.
Best for private repos
What do you like best about the product?
Generous collaboration features (unlimited free collaborators), Issue boards and lists, support for numerous static site generators (unlike GitHub, which only sports Jekyll.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Wish redirects were easier for plain HTML sites on Pages. Boards limited to issues (GitHub has them for projects as well)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fantastic version control and simple management of issues
Only Version control with CI/CD integrated service out there.
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab has ability to configure CI/CD with in their UI. It is very easy for developers to push their code to respective environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Billing system is not user friendly, it has yearly billing cycle. Even if you want to use it for a month user has to pay yearly charge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Removed jenkins ci/cd pipeline and using gitlab inbuilt
All in one version control
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab gives me and my team the ability to store dozens of client projects and other related files in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The current system of not allowing for monthly billing has made it difficult for us to scale up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are dealing with multiple versions of code across multiple projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you look at the billing to see if it works for you

Very easy UI. Has all the functionality like GitHub and very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
