GitLab Reviews

We use Gitlab for CICD work. 

Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place.

This solution could be improved by adding modifications such as slack notifications.

I have been using this solution for four years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution although the CICD may be tricky to scale. 

I have previously used Bit Bucket and Github. Bit Bucket has some issues in our country. At the time we had banning issues within our government and only GitLab was. Bit Bucket is too slow and we had to wait for five minutes just to enter the platform. 

Bit Bucket pipelines are not that easy to consider and it was harder to use than GitLab. Gitlab is also more customizable. GitHub is more expensive than GitLab and didn't offer CICD. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

Our company uses the solution to manage code, Wiki, and repository management for multiple projects on Truck It In. The solution helps us manage our experience with projects. We currently have twenty-two developers using the solution.  

We are in the process of executing the pipelines to use the solution for CI/CD. 

The interface is much more user friendly than competitor products. 

The merge request tool is very valuable. 

It is easy to perform code and peer reviews. 

Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains. 

The solution should expand features to match other tools such as Coverity, Veracode, or SonarQube with its static code analysis tool so third-party integrations are not required.

There can be a lapse of fifteen minutes to a day when updates are pushed. We do receive email notification of upcoming lapses and push progress, so that helps.

I have been using the solution for eight months. 

The solution is stable with no failures or issues in the version controlling or epic creation processes. 

The solution is scalable. We can manage issues or epics, make Kanban with proper backlog, and move any processes with no problems. It is scalable in terms of managing our experience and using it as a project management tool. 

We have not needed technical support. 

The setup is straightforward with good user interface. Third-party integrations can be a bit of a hassle. 

We implemented the solution in-house. 

We use Spring Boot at the back end with IntelliJ for IDs. IntelliJ is a good tool that integrates our projects with the solution through a well-managed synchronization process. 

The solution has a better user interface than GitHub and Bitbucket. 

We also use ClickUp which is a great tool for managing tickets and stream planning. We follow Agile methodologies so ClickUp is quite helpful to us. 

SonarQube has a new integration with the solution so we use its static code analysis tool.

The solution is valuable for developers because it includes version controlling, pipelines, CI/CD, and integrations. When moving from the development side to the production side it is important to ensure that code is bug-free with no errors. We have less issues on the production side because we take full advantage of the solution. 

The solution currently requires third-party integrations for CI/CD so I rate it a seven out of ten. 

Because GitLab uses an education license for cloud, there is unlimited storage for each account, so it's very useful. It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud.

GitLab should include more features because, during the pandemic, companies like Google introduced more features. The integration and storage capabilities could be better. This would be very handy for educators and students.

We used this solution at my previous company for a few years. They initially deployed it on-premises but fully migrated to cloud because all the data was not fully backed. We had around 500 clients and 500 accounts.

It is 100% stable.

I believe it's scalable. It is suitable, and there was no need for exploration.

We used a lot of technical support for standard settings.

It is subjective. I cannot compare GitLab with Azure because it is based on experience.

We had to read the manuals first before we could set up. The manuals are helpful for consultants as we needed their expertise to complete the setup. In addition, they can ensure there is no downtime.

It has a very good price and is good for general sidetracking.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten.

I am using GitLab for many purposes, such as CI/CD.

I have found the most valuable features of GitLab are the GitClone, GitPush, GitPull, GitMatch, GitMit, GitCommit, and GitStatus.

GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness.

I have been using GitLab for four years.

GitLab is a stable solution based on version control.

The scalability of GitLab is good. We can have multiple Amazon AWS enrollments.

We have approximately eight people using this solution in my company.

We use the support when we are doing integration. We have a blog where we can open a ticket and receive support.

The initial setup of GitLab is easy. If there is a server the implementation will take 30 minutes to one hour. In the case, there is no server, then we can install the Docker box with the related supporting office installation. This will take approximately two hours.

This is an open-source solution.

We are using this solution because of our client's requirements.

I would advise others to prepare the documentation for their team members.

I rate GitLab a nine out of ten.

We use GitLab as a source code repository, terraform modules repository, generic packages repository and for our CI/CD pipelines.

The most valuable features of GitLab are the merge request approvals, package repository, and that GitLab CI/CD pipelines plans are written in YAML.

GitLab could improve the package repository. It does not have support for Conan packages revisions.

Additionally, better support for deploying GitLab in Kubernetes is needed (i.e. more mature helm packages and updated documentation).

I have been using GitLab for approximately five years.

The stability of GitLab is good.

GitLab is scalable. We only needed to add more resources to the VM. Horizontally, we were not able to scale it because we couldn't deploy it in Kubernetes correctly.

We have approximately 300 people using the solution in my organization.

I have not used the support from GitLab.

I previously used Gerrit and I prefer GitLab. It is much better in the interface and integration, it is much more than only Git software, it is more of a complete package.

The initial setup of GitLab is not complex. However, it can be difficult to deploy GitLab on Kubernetes.

The deployment of GitLab was done in-house.

The solution's standard license is paid annually. They have changed the pricing tiers and removed the bronze tier, which was the perfect sweet spot.
There is a free version available.

I rate the price of GitLab a seven out of 10.

I would recommend the solution to others. For a self-hosted version, I advise others to deploy it using Docker/Docker-compose, it is the easiest way. The solution has no maintenance. 

I rate GitLab a nine 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 GitLab for all of our Git sources and it is mapped to our integrated solution for the complete ICG platform.

The most valuable features of GitLab are ease of use and highly intuitive UI and performance.

GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker.

I have been using GitLab for approximately 11 years.

GitLab is a stable solution. We've never faced any issues.

Our current setup is with one server but GitLab overall can scale.

We have approximately 300 people using the solution. Most of the people are in the developers' teams, management, and tech leads that all log into GitLab.

GitLab can be used for enterprise-sized companies.

I have not used the support from GitLab.

I have previously used GitHub as a developer. GitLab looks similar to GitHub and it's helping the developer use it better.

We update the GitLab version annually for maintenance.

GitLab is a free solution to use.

I rate GitLab a ten out of ten.

Most of the features are pretty good.

The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently. Merging code is a big factor for us because most of our teams use GitLab.

The integration could be slightly better.

The interface should be more user-friendly.

We have been working with GitLab for more than five years.

It is a stable product. We have not had any issues with respect to instability.

With approximately 30 users, we are not a large company. I found the scalability to be okay but I haven't tested it extensively.

We have experience with GitLab support and we found the service to be good. There is not much of a lag in terms of addressing queries.

I would rate the support a five out of five.

Positive

I also use GitHub and I am more comfortable with GitLab.

The initial setup is simple.

This product is not very expensive but the price can be better. As such, I would rate GitLab a four out of five in terms of pricing.

Overall, this is a good product that has a lot of features. There are several features that I don't use personally but other members of my team do.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use this solution for end-to-end CI/CD solutioning and deployment as well as infrastructure, architect and environmental management. In addition, we plan to use it for version control and SaaS solutioning and have heard it is great.

The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning. It also has dependency check and scanning mechanisms. If we were using other solutions, they would have to be configured, and we would have to set them us as a third party, but GitLab is straightforward. GitLab is a single solution that helps us do everything we need.

The documentation in GitLab could be improved a bit. For example, their RBAC is role-based access, which is fine but not very good. It could also be improved a lot.

We have been using this solution for almost seven years. We are currently using version 15.2.1. We are using GitLab Cloud, and it is a public setup.

It is a stable solution, and we have not experienced any challenges.

It is scalable, but we need to pay extra costs.

The technical support is good, but it is available with paid solutions only. So we have to rely on their documentation or wait for community updates for the free tier or vendor solution.

It is a cloud solution, so we didn't have to do much. We just needed to create an account, and the solution was ready. It is gitlab.com.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten because it is a good tool.

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.
