Our primary use case is for source code maintenance, then doing the build and running code coverage tools like SonarQube, and then deployment.

The goto version managing system with extra features
What do you like best about the product?
Easy-to-use interface with the ability to install it locally or within the enterprise. Also, code search functionality and integrated CI/CD support are some good additional features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing for commercial use is a little bit on the higher side and also the sporadic slowness can be observed. The administrator also finds it a little difficult when migrating between servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The centralized code repository and ability to have peer reviews are simplified greatly with the use of GitLab. The Ability track issue status with the corresponding code is a big value.
The Powerful tool for Continuous Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is a very powerful tool for building your CI/CD pipelines. It allows your organization to do faster Development and Deployment. It also integrates beautifully with multiple tools which allow you to expand your tool capabilities and features. Overall it is a blessing in the Software development world.
What do you dislike about the product?
As your project gets bigger and more complex, your team will eventually generate more builds, where your organization may face multiple runner issues and delays. All the menus in Gitlab can be intimidating to beginners. Other than that, it is a great product.

Used for source code maintenance and provides user-friendly interface for code review and pull requests
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We have seen a couple of merge requests or pull requests raised in GitLab. I see the interface, the way it shows the difference between the two source codes, that it is easy for anyone to do the review and then accept the request; the pull request is the valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
We have only seen a couple of times on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications. Recently, we have heard that some of the builds were taking a long time or were not scheduled. In such cases, they had to contact the GitLab community or the GitLab organization to address these issues.
So, there is room for improvement in regard to the issues with build times.
In future releases, additional features could be added in post-deployment monitoring. Currently, GitLab supports CI/CD up to deployment. Anything that would assist in monitoring deployments, especially in the context of Kubernetes or Docker, would be valuable. It may not be necessary for enterprise-level use, but for midrange organizations, integrating post-deployment monitoring of infrastructures and generating reports could be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution for three years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution offers good stability. However, sometimes we do see some issues due to upgrades and patches. But a couple of times, we have seen build issues where it takes a long time, or it gets stuck, and people have to manually restart those.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution in our environment. We have over a thousand end users.
How are customer service and support?
The support is very good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Earlier, we were using Atlassian products, and then we shifted to GitLab.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment is handled by a different team. For maintenance, we get good support from GitLab. For any production issues, we hear that we get good support from GitLab. That is something good.
What other advice do I have?
My advice would be it's a very good tool for developers, especially those spread across the globe. It has a very good interface for any pull request or code review. The CI/CD pipeline is also easily built in, so we can easily build and deploy it into various environments. So that eases the developer's and the production ops team's life.
Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Powerful and pleasant to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Its GUI is aesthetically pleasant, and it is significantly more powerful than GitHub in most regards - project-level issues are brilliant, as are arbitrarily deep git repository hierarchies, dissimilarly to GitHub's mere org/project standardization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Per https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/419013, a user must be notified of every event in an issue's lifecycle in order to be notified when it has been remediated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It hosts my code with its git synchronization and hostage functionality, and it hosts and provides access to online documents with its Snippets functionality. Additionally, because of its API, I use it to store important personal information due to how detailed its profiles are.

most commonly develovers do not have experiences in using gitlab
A scalable tool with an easy initial setup phase useful for building new connectors and preparing scripts
What is our primary use case?
I use GitLab for some of my CyberArk scripting work.
What is most valuable?
GitLab's scoop is like a lifesaver. It's very crucial for us in our company to use some of those scripts from GitLab, either for health checks or building new connectors is very important for us, and at times, with GitLab, you don't even need to build the connectors.
What needs improvement?
Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors. The aforementioned area of the solution needs improvement.
In the future, I would like to see GitLab providing more oversight over the coding part.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GitLab for a couple of years. I use the solution's latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution and seems to be a well-tested product with no issues. I rate the stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. There are a lot of users on GitLab, so it is a highly scalable product. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.
GitLab has only two users, including myself, in our company.
We don't have plans in our company to increase the number of users in future.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is pretty good. If you go on Stack Overflow platform, you can find technical support there. The product's technical team is knowledgeable, responds quickly, and is customer friendly.
I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications.
The deployment process took less than an hour, which means it can be done in around 45 minutes.
The solution can be deployed on the cloud or on-premises version by installing the EXE file.
Only one junior engineer is required for deployment and maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment phase can be done by yourself, in-house.
What was our ROI?
The ROI has been good since we have had no issues so far.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My company uses the free version of GitLab, which is GitLab Community Edition. There is a licensed version also available for GitLab.
What other advice do I have?
I would tell those planning to use the solution to try developing their own scripts in GitLab and then try to download them from the repository there. You build your knowledge while helping others as well.
I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.
Amazing source code Repo, comes with all the required features.
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to understand, intuitive
- Great documentation if you use help command

What do you dislike about the product?
I have used 2 source code repos, Gitlab and Github. I really like both but I would say if you want to work with UI github will score better compared to Gitlab, also Github's co-pilot is amazing which is currently missing from Gitlab (as per my knowledge)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Source code Management
- Executing code in Gitlab runners
- Collaboration between devs and QAs
- Setting up Pipelines for various stages
- Basically a complete solution for managing code
