GitLab is an excellent repository for storage and file uploads including collaboration.

  • November 03, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is an excellent medium for cloning a repository on a web portal. You can create any number of Project repositories here and control its permissions. The tool serves as an excellent medium for DevOps platform and provides the ability to upload a snippet immediately. The uploaded file(s) can be accessed by any number of individuals within the team and could be modified if needed. GitLab also contains the option to raise and track issues. The CI/CD feature provides features and pipelines, editors, jobs and schedulers to automate the integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab features though attractive, are a bit complex to interpret unless trained. After the commit of code, it's tough to comprehend the specific version of the file/code that was committed. More and more often, there are multiple comments that get recorded after every update and the user has a tough time locating the latest version of the code on Git lab. The arrangement of features provided by the tool could have been a bit more arranged and organized for easy comprehension.

Individual file uploads have an upper size limit/threshold beyond which the data content is lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab has helped our organization with setting up a viable platform for carrying out DevOps operations. The tool provides ability for the developers to upload their version as soon as they are done. The team lead could review the code when ready. After all the changes for a specific release have been applied, the code could be merged with the main branch for promotion to higher environments. All the different branches, commits,tags and contributors could be individually tracked within the respective repositories.

In my existing project, Gitlab was used to upload the code in development branch. The code was peer reviewed in development, comments were shared on refinements/modifications needed. After the code was confirmed in the development branch, it was merged with the main devops folder using merge feature. These features ensured that the main branch contained only the updated version of the code.

The repositories and projects are secured by password protection and internal encryption. The end to end CI/CD deployments could be managed efficiently by the GitLab features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Reliable tool for CI/CD.

Simple yet elegant version control system which is beginner friendly

  • October 26, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about using a version control system like Gitlab is the simplicity and ease of control it offers. From an Amateur to an Expert, the platform provides highly user-friendly navigation and options to get started with Git.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Gitlab succeeds in doing the basic things very efficiently, it might not be sub-par to providing as many advance services as popular competitors. Gitlab, at once, may feel like a limited resource that is providing service which is centered around only one aspect of development. It does not provide further aspects and details of part of CI/CD & pipeline building. Gitlab might not prove to be ready enough for DevOps-related activities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab is our organization's go-to resource for hosting "the code" along with numerous branches for different stages of development i.e. UAT, staging, development, testing etc. The process involved from writing code in local to pushing to a branch, cherry-picking or merging to main branch and deploying to live is easily achievable.

What do you like best about the product?
Many things:

- Many features free or with big free tiers
- Complete (CI, deployment, Kaban board, ...)
- Stable and fast
- Simple
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I'm not too fond of the web UI. For some areas, it's a little bit messy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage a lot of projects entirely on GitLab, it solves the problem of using many tools for the same project (like Trello for the board, other git providers for sources, external services for CI/CD pipelines, ...)

An all-in-one DevOps tool that I need

  • October 12, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When I use GitLab, I don't have to depend on many other DevOps tools. I primarily use it for Source Code Management. The GitLab CI is a very good feature that allows you to write CI/CD pipelines using a YAML file. I feel this is much more simpler compare to other CI tools. It is easy to set up a runner as well. There are multiple options to choose a runner, such as shell, shared, it even supports Kubernetes cluster.

This tool also integrates with various other tools such as Jira.

User friendly UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no many major shortcomings that I faced. But I feel even though there are so many features offered by GitLab, it may not be useful for everyone or there could be other tool your organisation using for the same purpose. For example, GitLab Registry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is primarily used for Source Code Management across our organisation. All the application code used across the oranisation resides here, this is the source of truth. The DevOps journey starts fom here.
