GitLab Reviews & Product Details

GitLab is pretty straightforward to use for day-to-day development work. Setting it up and getting CI/CD running doesn’t take much effort, which I really appreciate. Having everything in one place — code, issues, and pipelines — makes working with the team smoother. Also, whenever we’ve reached out, the support team has been quick and helpfull.

Since GitLab offers so many features, it can feel a bit overwhelming when you’re just starting out. Also, I’ve noticed that performance can slow down a little when working with larger repositories, but it’s not a big issue once you get used to the workfloww Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitLab is an all-in-one DevOps platform that brings everything — from code hosting and CI/CD pipelines to issue tracking and security — under one roof. The best part is its seamless CI/CD integration, which makes automating builds, tests, and deployments incredibly easy. Its Merge Request workflows, inline code reviews, and visibility into pipelines help teams collaborate efficiently. The user interface is clean, intuitive, and works great for both small teams and enterprise-scale projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While GitLab is powerful, it can feel heavy for smaller projects. The initial setup for CI/CD runners and permissions can be a bit complex, especially for new users. Occasionally, pipeline execution speed slows down for larger repos, and the pricing for premium tiers can be high for startups. Also, the UI could load faster when dealing with large numbers of issues or merge requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The all-in-one setup is probably its biggest win. You get Git repos, CI/CD, issue tracking, and project management in one place. No jumping between tools. The CI/CD pipeline system is solid once you get it running. The YAML config gives you good control, and the built-in runners work well for most projects. Issue tracking integrates nicely with merge requests. You can link branches to issues automatically, which keeps things organized. GitLab's pretty straightforward to get running. The community edition has good forum support, and paid tiers get direct help. Once your team gets used to it, GitLab becomes the everyday tool for everything.

The interface can feel cluttered. There's a lot going on, and finding what you need sometimes takes too many clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how GitLab brings the entire DevSecOps lifecycle into a single unified platform, reducing tools sprawl and making my workflow more efficient. GitLab's built-in CI/CD pipelines are one of its strongest features. They are easy to configure using .gitlab-ci.yml, provide powerful automation, and eliminate the need for separate CI tools, making environment deployment easy. The initial setup was moderately easy, and I found GitLab's documentation very helpful in making the installation straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While GitLab is a powerful and unified DevSecOps platform, there are areas where usability and performance could be improved, specifically the user interface complexity and pipeline speed and resource consumption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the group structure and how I am able to control the granularity of organization. I also really like Gitlab's CI/CD integration, making it very easy to run it with Gitlab Runner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The group structure is sometimes a double edged sword as different organizations have different ways of structuring their group, and the learning curve may be a bit high if you are just joining, as it is different than what they might be used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitLab CI/CD is seamlessly integrated and not an afterthought. Its flexibility allows for YAML-based pipeline configurations, making it adaptable to a variety of workflows. This results in fast, customizable pipelines that are effective for tasks ranging from simple builds to complex, multi-stage deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sheer number of features and options can feel overwhelming, particularly for teams that are new to GitLab or DevOps. Additionally, GitLab offers limited built-in granularity when it comes to permission settings, especially in comparison to tools like GitHub Enterprise or Bitbucket.

There are many useful features, such as Milestones, Groups, Workspaces, and 2Do-s, among others. I also appreciate the user interface. All the members of our small team were able to handle the implementation easily. While working on a side project, we used it frequently, and it never felt disruptive or annoying—which is something we really appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gitlab sometimes feels laggy, especially when we prepare to Build over CI/CD, it takes too much time, even with good servers. Also it should have extensive support of other cloud services like AWS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
