Why we chose GitLab and never looked back
What do you like best about the product?
With GitLab we didn't just store our source code. we also used it as our main CI/CD system.
Once we started using it we didn't look back.
Creating pipeline is easy, building docker images, storing them with release tags, integrating with Cloud provider such as AWS, to quickly launch runners with different instance types for different GitLab jobs.
All of those just work.
Creating a GitLab CI Template allowed us to run multiple projects pipelines from a single pipeline code (gitlab-ci.yml)
Integration with Kubernetes (EKS) allows us to quickly deploy our code.
Deploying code using the built in SECRETS helps to keep our source code secure.
Building and storing Artifacts is very simple to do.
Ease of use: from the time we started with GitLab and explained other teams how to use it, they just did it.
Simplicity is the main key, but when we needed to build some complex CI, it was also possible to do without too much effort.

What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab is not like Jenkins.
For example it is not possible to create a scheduled job which has a drop down menu for variables.
That is definitely a feature we would love to have on GitLab.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A few years a go i had to migrate a 3rd party product into the company: take the source code, build and deploy it as a new apps.
In order to do that i tried Gitlab for the first time.
The problem i had at the time was multiple source code repositories, without any CI code and no deployment flow that needed to be created.
The source code also had Tokens and other information that should have not be there.
After cleaning those, i created the GitLab repositories and started to work on the CI/CD.
In just a few days i had 4 new microservices running as docker containers on ECS.
As a DevOps Engineer, i managed to save a lot of time, while creating an easy to understand CI/CD Flow.
That solved the "how to build and deploy microservices? " question for me, and opened the way for other teams to start using GitLab and Docker every day.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Gitlab can help DevOps and developers to easily build and ship code.
I think that once you get to know it, you will stick with it.

Swift Code Repository and Version Control Software for Enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing that I like about GitLab is that it's ability to be deployed as a separate instance inside a company's firewall along with the simplicity to use, maintain and deploy. This simply provides a greater control and ensures the security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features like the ssh key integrations and other 3rd party integrations can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use a custom instance of GitLab inside the company firewall for maintaining our entire codebase. This gives us the 100% control over the application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a secure, agile ,custom deployable SCM solution for Enterprise applications, this is the one for you!
Easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface GitLab has and I love the fact that it's extremely easy and intuitive to use. I've used GitHub and always had trouble understanding where to go and how some things work. GitLab is so damn easy to use. I believe anyone can get started in a very short amount of time. Having CI/CD as a part just simplifies things further.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wished CI was easier to set-up. There is a very detailed set of instructions of how to, but as a beginner I have had trouble following it and wish it was a bit easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm fairly new to GitLab but it has made me work faster. It's very easy to use and that adds a lot to productivity and speed.
The very strong brand/ working culture is working in the favour of GitLab against GitHub
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is better and CI/CD is way more robust. GitLab has also got a great working culture ("remote is the future of work" for sure!) and a very strong brand, and good communication and presence on various platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I can't really complain. Maybe they could have a Windows installer?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Source code repository, QA checking through Pull Requests and Issue management.
The benefit is that everything one place.

Outstanding platform for DevOps development
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab provides just about everything that software development team would need to develop according to DevOps principles. I love that they're continuing to roll out innovative functionality to make it a truly end-to-end tool. It's so much easier than trying to maintain a gaggle of separate services.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab's pricing at the highest end is pretty insane, and some of their truly interesting features, like static analysis, are stuck there. It would be nice if it had a system for sending out alerts based on certain events - similar to Phabricator's "Herald" system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started off on the IT team at a software development company. Our developers had cobbled together a complicated workflow comprised of many tools. We wanted something more straightforward for our needs, and GitLab was it.
We've been able to do things with GitLab that even our software engineers haven't been able to do with their more traditional workflow - with a big focus on CI/CD pipelines courtesy of GitLab CI.
I'm hoping to eventually convince them to switch over to GitLab.

Every time I think of a program that I need gitlab has it. Plus it's just fun to browse and look for new stuff. I love gitlab.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the build descriptions are very vague. Like they forget not everyone is a computer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Every time I need software and don't have time to shop gitlab has me covered. Great selection for every platform.

Be prepared to spend some time looking for new cool stuff.

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab enables and secures information backup. It helps to monitor the progress of the project. Efficiently cooperates and shares. Gets quick and easy user interface to grasp what's next. Jenkins CI / CD interface is easy. It's nice to build a click repository and branch. One of the great features of the branch is the branch lock mechanism, which can not be passed to other developers. He has a task manager for himself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Further free ideas can be saved in the storage space. I notice no other gitlab annoyance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is awesome and easy to integrate Gitlab with others. It works with a minimum instrument. We can create a token, and this token has its own read-write permission. Gitlab CI / CD implementation is excellent. Configuring notification is easy to set up. Gitlab is freely used most importantly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the best way to manage projects but you need to purchase a paid version if you want to store numerous projects.
