Good product and nice to use

  • July 13, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the continuous integration suite.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the top navigation bar for issues/PRs etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were using a combination of CVS and SVN before I joined. After I joined I realized we needed to step up our game to Git. We also had a bad peer code review system (stand behind someone looking at their code) and needed to improve it. Another severely lacking system we didn't have in place was continuous integration. We didn't have a system to automatically run tests and deploy to our servers if tests passed. We also needed all of this to be hosted on our own hardware. I had used GitLab before on my own personal projects and thought it would be a great fit for our team since it would improve our speed on so many aspects.

GitLab Awesome

  • June 29, 2017

What do you like best about the product?
I migrated to Git from Subversion, I haven't looked back since. My primary reason for choosing GitLab was the offer of free private repos (I like to try before I buy). Being able to have real production projects while actually testing out GitLab basically sealed the deal. Despite Github getting all the attention, GitLab pretty much offers everything Github does. My team primarily uses GitLab, private repos and issues tracking. Additionally the platform is constantly being improved. GitLab is definitely worth taking a look at.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab needs to improve their social coding features and feel. Github still wins out in this area. I have no doubt that GitLab is very close here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business wise we moved from Subversion to Git, we use GitLab because it offers free private repos and everything is managed in the cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very inexpensive to get started. For business you can immediately start trying GitLab out with their free private repos.

Best self hosted web-based git repository manager

  • June 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Besides, being a fully functional Git repository, Gitlab integrates well with CI/CD. We currently are using the free version and cover most of our needs. The Omnibus package made Gitlab easy to install, update, and maintain. LDAP was a huge plus for our corporate integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI/UX looks poor and cheap, sometimes buggy and not very user friendly.
Many functionalities are not production ready, such as artifacts archiving,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Best free on-premise solution available. All in one solution. Git Repository + Issue Tracker + CI/CD + Many supported integrations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a fully functional CI/CD for Test and maybe QA Environment. But I won't recommend it for production yet.

Great alternative to Github

  • April 13, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We love the C.I. integration with our branches.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love how the merge requests are set up for code review. It makes it very difficult to manage a code review when everything is just files stacked on top of each other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control of our source code, automated builds, code reviews.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use all the tools that it comes with.

Gitlab review

  • March 07, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to have private projects enabled, with the free service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some times can be very unstable do to the amount of traffic their servers handle.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personal projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to compare it to Github and see which of both has the features that your project requires. Both of them are great!

The best free git repository manager I've found

  • February 22, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Interface is extremely intuitive and setup is dead-easy. It isn't resource intensive, meaning I can run this on an old linux-rooted chromebook as a secure physical repository for some of my personal experiments. Unlike some other products, administration has been minimal since I've set this up. Git is cleanly exposed, meaning I can hook up other git clients to communicate well with gitlab. Also has a quick and easy zip and download feature for repositories.

Has a great issue tracker.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could be simplified. I like to see the file structure of a repository when browsing into it, as well as the README.md below the file structure. Instead gitlab tends to show the readme if available, and you manually have to browse to the file structure if you wish to see it.

Wish gitlab had an issue tracker app, so I could use gitlab to track enhancements and defects for specific project using an easy-to-use dedicated app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Git repository manager that's accessible through a website, free, but can be hooked up to any git clients to manage and maintain git repositories.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Set it up and give it a try. It's the best free option I could find.

Awesome product

  • January 18, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like Gitlab CI, continous integration that comes out of the box with Gitlab. It has runners for docker meaning you can test and build virtually any codebase just by setting up a gitlab configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind immediately. Plus, it's an opensource project, anything I find that I dislike can be a PR.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab has helped us adopt continous integration practices and deliver features faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gitlab is really cost effective for teams, compared to competitors like Github. Github charges a monthly fee per user for private organisations. With gitlab on the other hand, all you need to do is deploy an instance and you have as many developers as your infrastructure can allow.

The best way of having VCS on your Company

  • November 28, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab makes it easy to create a private platform for manage your company projects and have a lot of features present on public Version Control Sites like GitHub and Bitbucket - Wiki, Issues, Team Management.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab is kind of hard to integrate with Soucetree, and you can simply access to your company repositories directly from the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With GitLab, we are trying to simplify the access to projects for users using macOS or Windows platforms, and provide a simpler way of practicing Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment.
