The best online git experience I have had.
What do you like best about the product?
The available suite of tools is extraordinary. Though github has taken all the hype, the fact that I can host any type of repository free of charge is absolutely fantastic. GitLab leaves nothing to be desired and is the only place I now use for online repo.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface and management can be a little clunky in certain areas. For example, the way the sidebar changes on context makes it hard to know where I am. I would like to see some polish in this area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being an independent developer, cost and accessibility are huge issues for me. being able to share a project with a customer and allow them to participate in the wiki and the development process has changed the way I do business. It also allows me to collaborate with colleagues on a per project basis very easily when I need extra help. It has solved my cost issues for my needs by being free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I was hired as a contractor to evaluate the current cost climate and flexibility of repository services. Because they offer additional services including on-premise services, gitlab allows you to grow in any direction you need. This has been by far the best transition I have made for myself, and it was the choice made by the company that hired me to evaluate current offerings. I can't recommend it enough.
The greatness of gitlab
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to contribute to a project. I can do many features in browser without having to use the command line. Merge requests are very simple and I like the email updates when a pipeline succeeds/fails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes my pipelines will fail for no apparent reason, it might be a server timeout of some sort but I am never told why. I also dislike how slow gitlab can be at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently using it while working on a distributed team. It is very easy to understand and having roles makes it more organized. Albeit, it doesn't tell me I'm not allowed to make merge requests unless I'm admin; I had to search for user privileges.
I recently made the switch from GitHub to GitLab - couldn't be happier
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab is great because of their focus on development teams, rather than individual developers. I was originally using GitHub, which is great for personal projects and small code repositories, but it wasn't quite working for the needs of my business. GitLab has great features that made working with a team much more appealing: free private repositories, self-hosted GitLab management, and team management. GitLab also has an awesome activity report that shows very detailed information about exactly what each team member has been doing. This comes in handy when something goes wrong and we need some transparency and accountability.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I was first researching GitLab and creating my account, the user interface of the site seemed a little bit confusing. It took me a while to figure out the difference from their remote and locally hosted services. It was also a bit confusing figuring out how to create and properly manage my team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab is great for enterprise level repository management. They allow you to create different teams, manage permissions, and create private repositories all with their free plan. I recently used GitLab to integrate version control and a staging environment into my development process where I work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Setting up your repository and team management takes a bit of time, but once it's all set up, the workflow is so nice and smooth.
The best Git server solution around
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab has done an amazing job of building an all-inclusive version control system that integrates many of the tools that we use with Git like CI and chat.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI for GitLab's web application isn't super great. Navigation is a little odd and it's hard to get to things like starting a new repository.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a Git server to host all of the code we write for clients. GitLab has offered limitless platform for hosting that code as well as a CI platform for ensuring the highest quality of our projects.
Robust enterprise ALM system
What do you like best about the product?
* Easy to setup using Docker - single docker-compose configuration file, run it and you're done.
* Single-sign-on Integration with LDAP providers such as Active Directory (an enterprise feature available even in the Community Edition!)
* It's no-nonsense continuous integration -- conceptually rock-solid with CI definitions maintained as part of the project's codebase; Multiplatform drop-in single-file CI runners\agents;
* Integration with a number of enterprise applications, notably Slack (and Mattermost) chat servers.
* Version updates religiously released on the 22nd of every month.
* Sensible issue tracking with optional Kanban boards.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is really hard for me to dislike anything about GitLab, especially as I am coming from a place where Microsoft TFS has traditionally been the choice for ALM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is developing a microservices platform for developing containerized composite applications. GitLab's open-source distributed asynchronous programming model fits perfectly with the our development workflows.
Excellent on premises GIT server
What do you like best about the product?
It has a very modern interface, similar to GitHub. Installation is also very easy, and can setup with Active Directory.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had issues integrating with Active directory when we were bought out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed a place to store projects throughout our company, I knew we wanted a GIT server that was easy to use and setup, this helped fill that gap.

It solves a lot of tasks!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the public installation on https://gitlab.com/ and install selfhosted after that.
I host my code with GitLab.com and have in the past run CE on private servers.
What do you like best about the product?
I love that, in addition to being a free version control hosting option, they're a free and open source software community. I also love that gitlab.com offers unlimited free private repositories and SSL for gitlab pages.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found setup for self-hosted instances to be a little bit difficult and overly complex. Other than that, I don't have a whole lot of issues with Gitlab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it to host both public and private code for personal and professional code. It's allowed me to store code securely and easily without needing to worry about either the cost or the details/hosting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
With Github's recent pricing changes for private repositories, the time to try gitlab has never been better. They tend to be really responsive to user requests, in part because it's open source software.
Internal source control tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about gitlab is that it can be hosted on premises and is very easy to setup even for a linux newbie like me. I had it up and running in about an hour or two. It can also import git repositories from other systems making it very easy to migrate to gitlab. The built in diff viewer is also comfortable for making quick code reviews.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest disadvantage of gitlab is probably it's speed. It's not slow but it would be nice if it was faster. Also it would be useful if it could import svn repositories too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab allows us to easily host internal source control without paying a lot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I suggest configuring groups before creating any repositories because moving repositories between groups or renaming groups changes repository url.
