De-facto standard for Code Repository
What do you like best about the product?
One of the things I love most about GitLab is how it brings everything together under one roof. You've got your version control, CI/CD pipelines, linters, code review (50% of the time is devoted to reviewing MRs), issue tracking – almost everything required it's there.
What do you dislike about the product?
First of all, I am as a User frustated with searching capabilities of GitLab. For instance, when I am searching for snippet of code across tens of projects, it can't provide easy yet effective searching mechanism. Also, there is a bit of learning curve in terms of user interface, so it might be an obstacle for newcomers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Majority of my work time is devoted to code review, therefore it's paramount to have a platform to review the MRs in easy and accessable way for me, especially when code changes affecting several classes/items. With GitLab, it's super easy to request reviews, leave comments, and collaborate with your teammates. GitLab's CI/CD pipelines are also one of the benefits of using GitLab - you just push your code to your branch, and everything else is automated (except for the bugs - this is on your side).
Gitlab: Manage your codebase

It provides a single platform to manage, configure, and use your tech codebase, and infrastructure.

Self-hosted Gitlab Community Edition Server
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab Community Edition is open-source, which means its source code is freely available to the public.
Despite being the free version, GitLab Community Edition offers a wide range of features for source code management, issue tracking, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and more.
GitLab Community Edition integrates seamlessly with various third-party tools and services, enhancing its functionality and adaptability to different development workflows.
While GitLab Community Edition is suitable for small to medium-sized teams, it also scales well to larger organizations. This scalability ensures that teams can continue using GitLab as their projects grow in complexity and scope.

Helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments and has good security model
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The tool helps to integrate CI/CD pipeline deployments. It is very easy to learn. Its security model is good.
What needs improvement?
GitLab could consider introducing a code-scanning tool. Purchasing such tools from external markets can incur charges, which might not be favorable. Integrating these features into GitLab would streamline the pipeline and make it more convenient for users.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't encountered any bugs in GitLab.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In our company, I estimate that around 30 people use GitLab, primarily for branching and repository management.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Our organization decided to use GitLab because it's easy to use, and its user interface is more intuitive than other tools.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is easy.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend using GitLab. It provides a repository and API, allowing you to create deployment pipelines. I rate it a ten out of ten.
Good alternative to github!
What do you like best about the product?
It can be self hosted, ofcourse the VCS, code review and ease of integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could benefit from some UI design changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A large team can work on different branches as different features and environment. It is helpful in managing and reviewing the code base.
Version control history is valuable for our development workflow
What is our primary use case?
We create the pipeline and push it to GitLab to initiate the process. The cloud integration is straightforward.
How has it helped my organization?
When it comes to GitLab's CI/CD integration, it significantly supports our development process by accelerating deployments. With automated pipelines, we can focus more on development tasks without worrying about manual deployments, ultimately speeding up our development cycle.
What is most valuable?
In GitLab, I find the features and version control history to be most valuable for our development workflow. These aspects provide us with a clear view of changes and help us manage requests efficiently. I haven't utilized GitLab's security scanning capabilities yet.
We plan to integrate tools like Sonicheap for code security. Currently, we use another product for security, focusing on Q4 security points.
We have used GitLab's features selectively for added security. We don't store passwords directly but use a secret manager and tools to sync passwords securely to our deployment environment.
What needs improvement?
I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities. Better integration and usability within the pipeline could make a significant difference in user experience. I would suggest considering new features or functions that could streamline workflows further and make using GitLab even more efficient. Having additional functionalities that cater to specific needs could greatly enhance the overall experience with the platform.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with GitLab for the past 5 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Regarding stability, while I can't rate it on a scale of one to ten, I can say that we've experienced good stability with GitLab, with no downtime or major issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
When it comes to scalability, I can't provide a rating as we're using the enterprise version and haven't explored scalability yet in terms of user count, we have between three hundred and four hundred users in our company or department.
How are customer service and support?
I've had support from forums like Stack Overflow when needed. In my experience, GitLab integrates well with third-party tools like SonicWall and Slack without any major issues.
How was the initial setup?
The setup process for GitLab is straightforward and easy to use.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding pricing, I would rate GitLab as moderately priced, maybe around a seven or eight out of ten. It could be more flexible for clients but generally offers good value.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
When comparing GitLab to competitors like Bitbucket, I find GitLab to be superior, especially in terms of features and functionality. Bitbucket still has its own strengths and is preferred by some organizations.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate GitLab around eight or nine out of ten. I highly recommend it to other users for both company purposes and personal projects. GitLab provides a solid starting point for learning and working efficiently, making it a valuable tool for developers.
