It is used for saving source code, and then people get the source code out of it, make a branch, and merge it to make a big file for deployment. So it's mainly a source code deployment tool.

Now on days, On the latest version of GitLab, Add some validation like one repository has just five numbers of flock users can create. as well as Upgrading to new versions, especially major releases, may require careful planning it is very hard to update Gitlab
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As per my experience, GitLab has to Allow, after authentication allowing, teams to access, track, and manage code from a single location. And after the new update, they increase the pricing for the plans.
The Git version control tool renowned for its exceptional reliability
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab stands out as the epitome of reliability for version control and source code storage. Its seamless integration of CI/CD empowers teams to perform real-time integration and deployment for every modification. Additionally, the platform's efficient management of merge requests offers the capability to restrict them to specific individuals for thorough reviews.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I typically appreciate GitLab, my personal preference leans towards GitHub. I primarily use GitLab due to work requirements. However, I've experienced occasional instances where GitLab encounters failures, resulting in disrupted pipelines and temporary inability to merge my work for minutes or even hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab solves various challenges in software development, benefiting users in multiple ways. It centralizes source code storage, facilitating easy access and collaboration. Its version control system ensures organized code management and seamless teamwork. Integration with CI/CD streamlines the development process, automating testing and deployment. GitLab's issue tracking and code review features enhance project management and code quality, fostering efficient collaboration among team members.
Great tool for hosting software
What do you like best about the product?
GitLab allows you to host your own instances, and is highly customizable. The web interface is straightforward and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major. Keep improving code analysis features, such as references to function definitions!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use our own instance of GitLab to host some of our code. We have some great integrations with it, including CI and bot helpers. We run CI on our own servers!
Gitlab source code management and devops tooling review
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of GitLab is its community edition, and almost everything can be achieved using the open-source version itself. If you are a startup, it is a great savior.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some users find GitLab to be complex and difficult to set up and configure, and they release new versions a lot, keeping it updated is a big challenge especially when you are managing thousands of users. Performance is not so great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitLab offers a centralized repository for source code management, making it easier for developers to collaborate on projects. It is a great tool for building IaC platform. CICD and writing CI workflow in in yaml is so effecient. It greatly solved DevOps and DevSecOps challenges.
QA
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure the warkflow. Well described documentation and integrattion with other tools
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike. GitLab works as expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automate processes
Gitlab is a must have for a software developer
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab auto-saves everything automatically
What do you dislike about the product?
Gitlab is becoming very expensive, especially for small teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Gitlab to host our code base and to review our merge requests.
Easy to use in-house Git SCM
What do you like best about the product?
If you want to get a Git server up and running internally, Gitlab is wonderful. It is straightforward to install, mainly if a Linux (preferably Ubuntu) server is available. Updating is also easy (e.g., "apt-get update gitlab".)
What do you dislike about the product?
It would help if you kept Gitlab up to date (that is via "apt-get update"). If you try to update an outdated version of Gitlab, it will require CLI knowledge of Linux. For instance, if you try updating from an older "major version" to a newer major version, Gitlab will automatically update multiple versions manually. This process can be tricky.
Gitlab cannot be installed on a Windows host, only Linux. I haven't tried deploying it as a container, however it looks like that's a very straightforward process.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gitlab allows me to keep code I write for internal projects inside my network. It's great if you don't want to host your code on another provider's platform (e.g. Microsoft with Github or Atlassian with Bitbucket.)
Great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
Managing gitlab is very simple and easy. Very minimum learning curve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Search capabilites need to be improved. Bitbucket is much better in searching.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have all our repositories in git and we use it for review, CICD as well.
Gitlab review
What do you like best about the product?
Simplistic UI. Also allows to create boards and ability to keep merge requests in draft. Also shows the commit graph which is quite useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing bad about it. Found it to be absolutely fine the way it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continuous deployment to server really helps to make the project live asap.
A feature-rich and a well-organized solution that is scalable
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need. So I think it's one of the best solutions compared to other options. So, it's the most capable and easiest tool.
What needs improvement?
In terms of the solution's interface and features, I am satisfied.
As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support. Apart from the aforementioned reason, I am very satisfied with the product. It is only after we are registered that we get proper support from GitLab. The registration itself it's quite complicated, and it is mainly because they want to make sure that the users with a license contact the right support team.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using GitLab for two years. My company has a partnership with GitLab. I am using GitLab Version 15.6.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten. Since it is software, they can have some bug-related issues, and no software is 100% protected. GitLab has many features in different areas, so I cannot specify which specific area has a problem.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. My clients who use the solution are medium-sized businesses.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten. Only the initial registration is complicated.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup process was easy. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten. The solution can be deployed in a day. Only one engineer is required to deploy the solution. Also, the solution does require maintenance. Using it as a different storage operation when it comes to maintenance, there can probably be some updates that can fix security patches and other issues. So, we have several employees working on many different solutions and projects. But only one person is actually required for its maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Price-wise, it is a reasonable solution. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
It's a great solution. So I would recommend it to those who want to use it. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.
