More Features Than GitHub, Yet Completely Free
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is an entire suite-- what started out as a Git project website has turned into a full CI/CD and source management platform. By having everything in one place, you can not only push your source code, but test it, manage bugs and documentation, and test and deploy it with a CI/CD pipeline.
The best part is, it's open source so you can run it on your own servers, or you can use the GitLab.com service completely free for private repositories.

What do you dislike about the product?
The interface has become a little cluttered. Unlike GitHub, which is quite simplistic and well designed, GitLab can be kind of confusing to navigate. Add that to the fact that they change the UI every once in a while, and for newcomers it can be quite daunting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Source code management historically has either been expensive (GitHub) or lacking in features (BitBucket). GitLab has solved this, not only with its own platform, but by introducing competition that has forced GitHub to change their pricing to better compete.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't really find anything that i dislike. Gitlab is fulfilling all my needs as for now. Maybe, the only thing that bothered me was the UI is a little bit complex and hard to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I currently use Gitlab to build and push up my projects in private repositories. I can work with my team by enabling us to push, pull, and merge our code together on it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend Gitlab for anyone who wants to create a private projects for free and save your money. It's the best solution for that. More than that it's fast because files can be edited directly on the web UI without downloading the repository.
Good product
What do you like best about the product?
Easy, intuitive version control, makes it easy to collaborate with my team on sharing code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wasn't able to find good documentation for it, so it took me a while to figure out the ins and outs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to share code with my team and Gitlab provides a good platform for that. It's intuitive, and I can get my work done with just a few commands.
Upload your unlimited private projects for free
What do you like best about the product?
There are few highly popular Git project uploading sites available. But those sites are focused on Open-source projects and for private projects, user need to have paid subscriptions. I was looking for uploading my git repot to any Git project hosting site also was looking for a free service and here comes Gitlab. A user can upload unlimited private Git projects in their account, create teams or organizations and push project to the organization repo as well and all of these are absolutely free. The best thing is, you can do almost everything what you can do in other popular git sites and here you don't need to pay for that.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI of the Gitlab could be more interactive. Creating Milestone, Label on the fly could be a good UI update. Project Wiki is not a great thing in Gitlab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a team of remote developers working in common projects from different countries. We host our code primarily in Gitlab (because its free). Our codes are mainly under our team account and each developers fork the code to update. Our CTO/ Lead developer is responsible for merging or rejecting any pull request.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gitlab is a modern Git Hosting Provider that is already used by a great number of developers. If you want to push your git repo to as private repo, and right now not ready to spend money for it, Gitlab is your best option.
An excellent self-hosted or SaaS code repository
What do you like best about the product?
An excellent solution for those who like want private or shared repositories and require a on promises or private cloud installation.
Provides great options for code reviewing and developers interactions on merge requests.
Updates both for new features and fixes are frequent.
Access control is fine grained and authentication may be setup to use an external service like LDAP or CAS.
Provides a nice OAuth authentication so 3rd party apps may be easily integrated.
Active open source community with lots of contributions. This way bugs are fixed really quick and new features come out frequently.

What do you dislike about the product?
The less used features have a few usability gotchas.
The frequent updates may overwhelm your operations team if you have too much bureaucracy in the way.
Since its operation relies on git directories that are on the filesystem, high availability options may be little tricky to setup. More distributed options seem to be in the way for enterprise edition but are not yet available at the time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Assess the use of gitlab by trying the SaaS version on gitlab.com or by using docker images from: https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ce/
It is a really great place to store your git repositories
What do you like best about the product?
The community edition is really great. Today we have a community edition installation at the company I'm working for and it works like a charm.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. The only point that annoys me currently is their number of updates. The product development is really fast paced and it is really difficult to keep it up to date. It annoys but is really great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't want to pay an external service to host all of our internal codes and development for various reasons and Gitlab was the best tool we found to do the job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In case you need to have all your repositories hosted on your own company servers I really recommend you to pick Gitlab. Their services as an online platform are really good and you may use it for free.
Good internal Git server for config management
What do you like best about the product?
Easily installed and managed. Does everything I need in a git server.
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface isn't always intuitive. Hard to find configuration options, and have to go pretty deep to find what I need to change.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A private git repository we can use with many different projects and different user access. For use with both internal and external users if possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to setup and use. A bit of a pain to administer, but still cheaper than alternatives.
