GitLab Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Manager, Engineering at 7-Eleven4.5We use GitLab for deploying applications in various environments as a DevOps platform. The CI/CD pipelines and repository management are valuable, enhancing agility and time to market. Improvements needed include embedded security features and testing integration.
Assistant Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees3.5I've used GitLab for years and find its Git merging feature highly valuable, though its CI/CD compatibility with tools like Jenkins needs improvement. It's stable, easy to use, but better suited for small to mid-sized organizations.
Chief Technology Officer at Acclym4.0I primarily use GitLab for software development, valuing features like Git, code reviews, and pipelines. It's user-friendly and manages repositories well, though the lack of mandatory code review configuration and occasional stability issues are drawbacks.
Junior Associate at McKinsey4.0I use GitLab primarily for development and managing repositories, finding its intuitive features like pulling, merging, and maintaining pipelines valuable. While it saves time and money, task management could be improved to match DevOps or Jira's capabilities.
It Architect at UBS Financial4.0I primarily use GitLab for code check-ins, issue management, and backlog management, appreciating its CI/CD pipelines and security features. However, it lacks some advanced project planning features found in Jira, such as milestone weights and sophisticated roadmaps.
IT Software Architect at ANAC - Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione4.0We upgraded to GitLab Ultimate from the open-source version for enhanced security scanning features. The CI/CD pipeline with Helm improved our deployment speed from hours to minutes. The licensing model could be more accommodating, but we're satisfied with the switch from Jenkins.
IT Manager at a tech company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5No summary available
Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees3.5I've used GitLab for over two years to manage repositories and pipelines; it's fast, user-friendly, and integrates well with AWS, though occasional runner delays and limited Jira integration could be improved.
