What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't provide analytics for pipeline tracking, has slow interface, it doesn't have as large community as github.

Advantages and limitations of Gitlab , from my perspective.
What do you like best about the product?
Githab provides us with a code quality function. With this tool, we get to analyze the quality of our source code. Ensuring that they are kept simple , easy to maintain and readable .
What do you dislike about the product?
Gitlab lacks adequate analytical functionality for pipeline tracking, meaning that it does not have robust tools for tracking the progress of our software development pipeline. This makes it tedious for my team to get a comprehensive overview of our development process, monitor performances , and make data-driven decisions. However, it's worth noting that GitLab has been constantly improving its features in this aspect. Nevertheless, it is still lacking compared to other specialized tools that are specifically designed for pipeline tracking and analytics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Github's ability to automate entire continuous integration and continuous deployment ( CI/CD ) workflow , is unmatched by any other Git platform. By automating our entire CI/CD workflow, we are successfully creating secure code releases, better implementing guardrails to safeguard our deployments and deploying our applications across multiple and diverse cloud infrastructure.

The best open source code repository platform
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is a very lite repository management tool that doesn't require a high-spec system, and it also contains DevOps workflows and CI/CD tools built-in without any extra manual integration
What do you dislike about the product?
If any experienced ones use GitLab, some terminologies are different compared to GitHub and Bitbucket, which might make them seem like an alien language. As it is free and open-source, there are many bugs that makes the user experience sloppy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab helps with providing code repository services and collaboration with team members. As it is an open-source platform, we have an excellent open-source community that helps us in critical times.
Open source solution to hosting code
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is not only open source, it's free to use for open source projects. It seems more secure than its counterpart GitHub, despite being owned by themselves and having a seemingly smaller footprint.
What do you dislike about the product?
While GitLab is an enterprise product, there are many bugs in the software making the experience quite glitchy. Additionally, the code review workflow is not very well thought out nor polished. I find myself checking out code locally to conduct my own review process, rather than use the UI online.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is a code hosting and reviewing platform, mixed with continuous integration and continuous deployment features for automated delivery of code. The software helps on the infrastructure side of development so that I can focus on the code itself.
Robust and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the best about the GitLab client is that it was really easy to start using without previous knowledge of the application. The user interface is really easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. If you are in doubt about how to do something it is easy to find documentation and information on the GitLab website or in general on the internet.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing, it has been really easy to switch from another client without having a big learning curve due to the good design of the application. The GitLab community and staff are helpful when we were wondering about something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to use GitLab mainly for continuous delivery and continuous deployment. The GitLab client application was one of the top choices for that when looking for an application. We have been able to take this in use since getting GitLab and it has improved our efficiency.
