Great platform for collaboration

  • March 05, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab has a good number of capabilities for creating and managing repositories. It is also packed with good activity-monitoring features;
Provides us with comprehensive analyses of apps that help us improve them.
Allows us to operate in a more seamless manner and makes interdepartmental communications easier for us.
Comes with several useful integrations and various capabilities for time-tracking and source code management, among others.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab's search capabilities need to be improved to show more accurate results;
Kanban board views of project could use some improvement;
Better explanations and granularity of user permissions and controls;
It lacks some features, and sometimes the menus are really confusing and hard to navigate. There have been some occasional crashes too when you need to restart your server to get it up again;
Sometimes it gets very slow and provides problem to connect or update to the servers. Search is difficult on some pages;
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab prevents issues on flow and allows us to achieve our desired results. It is a secure platform with a friendly interface;
Even if GitLab is simple to use, it's a big piece of software that can sometimes become slow on the web user interface. Moreover the review system is sometimes not so easy to use compared to other competitors. Hopefully their are great browser extensions that solves this issues;
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In my opinion, this platform is better designed compared with its competitors. I am a long-time user and have witnessed how GitLab continues to enhance its services. It comes with many great features. My favorite part would be its excellent CI/CD section. It can be navigated with ease and it allows for greater flexibility.

Source control for everything

  • February 25, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility of GitLab. The web version is also amazing as you can use it for free, unless you need some more advanced feature. However there is the possibility to use it on your own server. I think that is the true power of GitLab.
What do you dislike about the product?
I miss the dashboard, like health charts for projects. Also the ui is a bit old school. But I guess it is a subjective opinion. Also it is not well integrated to other source control softwares like sourcetree.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it for code hosting. Also experimenting with the Community Edition to run our own server.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try out CI/CD integration.

One place solution for all of Enterprise code management needs

  • January 24, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab has all code management related features at one place. Apart from repository maintenance and the version control system, it provides

* Extensive CI/CD support (GitLab Runners)
* Issues management through Boards, storing and sharing code snippets.
* It has made code/repo access control across teams and members much easier.

The best part is that all these features are available at a single place and are intuitively accessible. This eliminated context switches between multiple products for issues, CI/CD, docs by providing all of them under one hood.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab doesn't have a follow user/member support, this makes it difficult to see a particular user's activity in the activity feed. Although it supports the general repository starring, which allows you to track a repo's activity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GitLab for maintaining repositories, CI/CD pipelines, managing issues, configuring access control for my team and group repositories

* GitLab Boards has made code issues management 2x easier, it eliminates the need to switch between multiple products.
* Groups and repos for groups provides granular member access control when compared to other alternatives
* Maintaining & sharing code snippets at group, repo level has rendered effective to seamlessly share code among team members

Great alternative to the industry leader

  • September 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Gitlab for the first time in my current company and it is refreshingly similar, while also offering some benefits over competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features are harder to find, for example, branch protection and managing who can push to the master branch vs just feature branches has been tricky. I also dislike the naming for "Merge Request" - why not call it a "Pull Request" like any other git application?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Version control of code, CI pipelines
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth giving Gitlab a try over the industry leader.

The tools that it offers us are perfectly adapted to automate the web page in order to offer results and avoid flow problems, the codes that are used are extensive, making it easy to use.

Something you can do with GITLAB is that you can implement thanks to its high platform level, in any way, so I have nothing negative to say about it, however I think it can improve the adaptation characteristics it can be slow to pass the information from gifthub or other accounts, it does not affect the system but it may be something to improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its interface is very useful and easy to use for all our team, it allows us to solve any problem regarding administration and allows our working hours to be effective and fluid, in turn it solved the initial problem of changing our web base to its most advanced web base in order to offer the best to our clients.Its interface is very useful and easy to use for all our team, it allows us to solve any problem regarding administration and allows our working hours to be effective and fluid, in turn it solved the initial problem of changing our web base to its most advanced web base in order to offer the best to our clients.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The system that we use with Gitlab is different from others in the use and realization of any project, whether you are just a project or some development, implement it on our page to use it in everyday life since it has a structure, which I am happy because I It has served much more than other services such as Gifhub, since the tools are friendlier and my data is safe, in addition to keeping my applications and processes safe, it is much more attractive since I can protect all my information.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are certain points in the system that could be improved so that this system is much more optimal in the sense of developing software or offering some type of information, adding features such as filters for users and optimizing servers to be able to be faster the system, however until Now it has worked very well, I am happy for what it has offered us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It definitely solved the usual problem and improving the security they offer to our data is much more remarkable because the privacy of our information is encrypted, be it the IP, software or passwords, I am much more secure and have an authentication system that is why Reason that we solve our problems because you keep all the information safe and we can develop freely, we also save important data that will eventually be used in programming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its tools, although they are very basic and new, are very similar to other systems, in this way we found it much easier, their use worked much better and I loved their good response.
