Go to tool for collaborative development
What do you like best about the product?
The part where the entire DevOps lifecycle is covered by the comprehensive tool and feature set offered by GitLab is the best. My teams may combine their modifications made by different groups working on other features, or bug fixes thanks to Gitlab. It also has features like code reviews, issue tracking, and merge requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem with GitLab is that Users unfamiliar with version control or choosing a more straightforward platform may find GitLab complicated. It may not be easy to use and navigate due to the abundance of features and settings. When working with huge codes and programs, performance problems can occasionally cause slower load times, sluggish navigation, and other performance-related issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It supports us with the support of GitLab's extensive collection of collaboration tools, such as issue tracking, code review, and wiki; teams can communicate and cooperate more successfully with each other increasing productivity and efficiency, which ultimately helps in on-time project completions.

Efficiently streamlines and automates tasks
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
By streamlining tasks that we used to do on a daily basis and scheduling them.
What is most valuable?
CI/CD, GitLab scanning, and the cloud are the most valuable features.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in GitLab Agents.
I would like to see more features focused on GitLab or CICD. I am not sure if there is a roadmap for GitLab CI/CD Elite.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GitLab for five years. I am currently using version 14.5.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. I would rate it an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability of GitLab a three out of ten. It is low.
It can be challenging to scale. Sharing databases and removing multiple VPNs is not easy to handle. GitLab's stability is not as good as other platforms that offer Kubernetes engines. We use OEMs instead.
There are 300 to 400 users in my company. We definitely plan to increase the usage.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are familiar with GitHub.
How was the initial setup?
I'll give the initial setup a six, slightly above average, where one is difficult and ten is easy.
Now we automate everything, so let's say the deployment now takes about one hour to deploy.
What about the implementation team?
For the deployment process, we create a template and prepare the VM on our cloud. Then we deploy the container using the controller, which deploys the solution.
We had IT specialists and engineers for the deployment process.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's a bit tricky because we have a different license. I rate the pricing mode a five out of ten for now, but it might change in the future. We have an educational license, and support is not included.
What other advice do I have?
GitLab offers various services, and it's important to understand which ones you truly need. Service providers might have different capabilities, and compatibility with your existing devices can be a critical issue. We haven't faced many problems with network compatibility or duplicated services so far.
If I could go back in time, I would recommend using GitLab primarily as a reliable repository. For additional features like scanning and monitoring, it might be beneficial to explore other specialized solutions.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
Complete System for Source Code Management
