GitLab Reviews

GitLab can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud.

GitLab is mainly used as a repository.

The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly.

I have not explored the solution fully but the features that I have used have been good.

GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful.

I have been using GitLab for approximately three years.

The stability of GitLab is good.

We have approximately 20 people in my department using GitLab and in my organization, we have approximately 4,000 people using it.

I have not used the support from GitLab.

The initial setup of GitLab is complex and could improve.

GitLab is an open-source solution.

I rate GitLab a nine out of ten.

GitLab can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud and it is used for DevOps.

The most valuable feature of GitLab is its security.

The price of GitLab could improve, it is high.

I have been using GitLab for approximately one year.

The stability of GitLab is good.

GitLab is scalable.

The support from GitLab is good.

The price of GitLab could be better, it is expensive.

I rate GitLab a seven out of ten.

We are a startup company working on a new firewall product, and we use GitLab as part of the software development process.

I see this product as an investment. It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient. We know that all of your information is going to be in the same place and you can do what you want.

The most valuable feature of GitLab is the level of control that it offers. I have more control over everything.

I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira. I know that integration does exist for some, but it can be better. In the future, I would like to be able to add what I want.

I have been using GitLab for one year.

This product is fully stable.

We have not used GitLab technical support because as of now, we haven't needed it yet.

Prior to using GitLab, I was using GitHub.

The initial setup is not complicated. Especially if you have used GitHub before, it is pretty easy. Being on the cloud, you don't have to buy a server or anything else. You pay for it, set it up, and all of the protection and other services are included.

GitLab can be used free of charge but if you use it for years and move to a paid license then it is better because you have more services. I think that we pay approximately $100 USD per month.

We strive to always have the latest technology. In this business, you have to follow your client and follow the trend. In fact, you have to do things ahead of the trend and be prepared. For us, this tool is really convenient.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to consider the paid version. Don't be afraid to pay a few dollars a year. Especially for a startup company, this tool is an investment. You don't have to look at it as an expenditure or expense. Don't think about it as spending money, but rather, investing money.

From my point of view and for what I use GitLab for, it is okay for me. There may be other products, but this is a great tool. It's convenient and it's used by a million developers. The developers here consider it to be the best choice. That said, there is always room for improvement in a product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

GitLab is a platform that facilitates hosting, collaboration and version control. We also make use of its pipeline capabilities. 

It is a speedy platform compared to the others I have used. I have also enjoyed using the platform as this solution offers a good user experience. 

We are currently using Atlasian Bitbucket, Jira and Confluence. Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers.

I have used Gitlab for two months. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The configuration of Gitlab is straightforward. There is no site deployment of GitLab needed on behalf of the end user, especially if they are using the cloud version. 

GitLab's pricing is good compared to others on the market. 

If we compare the GitLab repositories to GitHub, GitHub has many issues since being acquired by Microsoft. GitLab is more independent and offers a better user experience compared to GitHub. Gitlab is easy to manage and is a good example of the Git-based collaboration tools.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

I use GitLab to bring code from repositories.

GitLab's best feature is Actions.

GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs.

I've been using GitLab since 2019.

GitLab is stable, I would rate its stability nine out of ten.

Previously we used Team Foundation Server, but GitLab is better for local cloud deployment.

The initial setup was simple.

GitLab is highly priced for smaller teams, but it's okay if considering a user base of thousands.

I would give GitLab a rating of nine out of ten.

We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag.

We would like to have easier tutorials. Their tutorials are too technical for a user to understand. They should be more detailed but less technical. 

We would also like to have a desktop app for GitLab which will make things a little more seamless.

We have been using this solution for six years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

We had some GitLab integrations and needed some assistance. We received pretty good support.

Positive

We compared this solution with Atlassian. Atlassian has Bitbucket and we felt GitLab is a little easier to use.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

We use GitLab for the continuous deployment of CI/CD pipelines that are running on various GitLab services. We also use it to run nightly jobs and to run any other case-specific issues.

I like that it's easy to deploy our services over GitLab. The customer support is also good with a really active community. You have a lot of support that you can get online with your stack. That is probably one of the benefits of using GitLab. It's also really fast.

It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. 

Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain.

If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain. 

I have been using GitLab for over a year.

GitLab is a fairly stable solution. On a scale from one to ten, I would give it a seven for stability.

GitLab is scalable. You can replicate services, architecture, and more.

Technical support is good.

I would recommend this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give GitLab an eight. 

We used the solution for keeping Yama code files there for our project.

The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation.

I have been using the solution for six months.

I have had no problem with the stability of the solution.

The solution is able to be scaled. We have been doing our own project and there has been no issue with scalability.

The installation can be difficult. You need to get used to the markdown files, the tutorials that are offered are not the best. I had to search the internet for alternatives tutorials. There should be clear instructions on how to create markdown files and how to upload code. There is a lot of room for improvement in the area of supporting documentation.

I would advise those wanting to implement this solution to create tutorials themselves because there are so many sources that you have to look at just to understand how to make a red blob or red marker onto the code.

I rate GitLab a seven out of ten.
