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?
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.

Compliance using Gitlab, ensuring efficient deployment and compliance with industry standards.
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about GitLab, especially in the context of complying with ISO 27001 standards, is its comprehensive security features and practices. GitLab's integrated approach to security, encompassing static and dynamic security testing, dependency scanning, and container scanning within its CI/CD pipelines, aligns perfectly with ISO 27001's requirements for information security management. This integration facilitates a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities early in the development process, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, which are key principles of ISO 27001.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab is feature-rich, which can be a double-edged sword. The breadth of its capabilities means it can be complex to navigate and optimize, especially for new users or smaller teams without dedicated DevOps resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab significantly streamlines DevOps processes and enhances compliance efforts, offering a unified platform that covers the entire software development life cycle. Its automation capabilities accelerate deployment, reduce errors, and free up developer time. Integrated security features and detailed audit trails support strict adherence to standards like ISO 27001, by ensuring early vulnerability detection and providing comprehensive documentation for compliance. Access controls further secure sensitive data and operations. These features collectively reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance, making GitLab a valuable tool for developers and organizations aiming to optimize their software delivery and maintain high security and compliance standards.
