Baller's Choice Award: Gitlab

  • July 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is the best on-premise solution for managing a codebase with the added bonus of being able to have a full CI pipeline living with the code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The SPA nature of Gitlab is not the most responsive sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab provides us with a standard way of interacting with our code that allows for the support of a full CI pipeline

Open Source Github

  • July 11, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is an online or on-premisses github alternative with some unique features and a continuously evolving software. It has monthly release cycle, which means that every month you get new features. If you have the opportunity to use it locally, you're able to make it public or private (just for your collaborators). You can control individual, group and project permissions. You can also have public and private projects. Most of the features you might be used to on Github are available on Gitlab.

With the somewhat recent integration with Gitlab CI, you can automate tests and deployments to staging or production.
What do you dislike about the product?
Gitlab has some unique features, but some are restricted to the Enterprise Edition, which can quickly get expensive for a small team of 3 or 4 developers.

Gitlab uses Ruby on Rails so it needs a comfortable amount of hardware resources or it will feel slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing software even on a small group of developers can get messy without a proper version control system. Gitlab allows you to create projects and groups of developers, assign permissions (even for external users like clients which could just look at the issue tracker), protect code branches, enforce peer review.

Also, with some effort you can enable a Continuous Deployment environment.

A good open source system, nice for open source projects

  • July 03, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a good thing that the software itself is open source (with the Community Edition). This means that you can use GitLab on their servers or, if you prefer, have it installed on your premises. Of course, you can have both ;-)
What do you dislike about the product?
The web interface is available in eight languages only. This prevents the use by people that are not fluent in one of those.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am involved in a couple of projects set up by the local Linux User Group. We are managing the projects with GitLab.

A nice online VCS

  • June 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can host your private project there. Continuous integration (CI) is also available. It can send the build job on your local machine which was at that time great for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
No sign-in with a linkedin account is possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a central location to share the source code of a web service of mine with some business partners oversees. GitHub was no choice, as I would not publish the source code to the world, but only to targeted audience. The build system could

Best version control online service

  • June 30, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The continuous integration feature like pipeline and docker registry. High transparency on what's going on during service downtime. Many integration with other services are allowed so user could just pick whatever they needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could be improved. Sometimes it takes too many click in order to reach a specific page. The loading speed also has a room of improvement..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No related to business.

Great free self-hosted git repository

  • May 09, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's free if you host it yourself. For private projects, it has all the features I love from GitHub, but not the cost of hosting private projects on GitHub.
What do you dislike about the product?
A better system of automatically upgrading would be nice, to keep it on the latest version at all times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's nice central repository for all our projects, complete with a web interface similar to GitHub.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to deploy a test GitLab setup on Digital Ocean in just a few minutes and it's a very inexpensive way to evaluate the software.

Everything a Forge needs

  • April 11, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's open source. It has an open way to extend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I needs better irker interface, or an interface to irccloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need shared git repos, public pages, issue tracking, and security locked repos. It's got all that.

Developer tool build by developers

  • March 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Feature rich git solution, open source, monthly releases, free unlimited cloud, on premise option, if you want something done you can make it and collaborate it
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to pinpoint something bad about this software, since they are contantly and diligently improving; however one thing that stands out is, if using the cloud version expect issues once a month, since the cloud version (gitlab.com) is the first to update to the latest release and that comes with bugs, downtime and possible issues, that makes the cloud option a little unreliable for critical use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software source version control, issue tracking, milestone plan, automatic builds, code reviewing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For on-premise, just go for it, their is no downside, updates are a piece of cake to make, software is great and the community behind it is event better. If going for the cloud version, if you critically rely on the tool, consider either install it yourself in your cloud provider of choice or go with other tool, the once a month issues could be a problem

A great free solution for hosting git repositories

  • March 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that you get included access to Gitlab CI and pipelines which allows you to run continuous integration and continuous delivery in one simple configuration file.

I also like that you can host unlimited amount of repositories for free privately. This is better than hosting with Github.
What do you dislike about the product?
They have recently experienced quite a bit of downtime, and also the web app can be quite slow at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the issue of being able to host our git repositories. It allows us store our repositories privately for free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try using it on a few projects first, see how it fits into your workflow and take advantage of the pipelines features.
