"GItlab is a great tool for the project source code handle"
What do you like best about GitLab?

I think in GitLab I see more features and a realising experience with the user-friendly interface. GitLab stores the project source code and there is a CI/CD feature. I use this feature for my project to continue integration and development purpose Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

I have used Gilab last 2 years since I joined my current company. During this period, I faced a lot of difficulties but also Gitlab is trying its best to provide the service. I don't have any dislike yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure & Ease of use"
What do you like best about GitLab?

I was using SVN earlier from using Gitlab, and I was told by my employer to switch to Gitlab first I was a little skeptical that this would not be an upgrade, but I was wrong there as when I started using Gitlab the community of this product helped me a lot as it has a vast community of developers in different platforms like StackOverflow and Reddit.

The best part of this product which I liked the most is revert & cherry-pick commands which basically helped code review meetings better and I can just see all the logs and revert the issue commit within a few seconds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

Since GitLab is mainly for private projects there are little downsides to it as well for instance, there are times when I have seen GitLab down and had to search on the web for its solution. This is never or very rare issue with Github or SVN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gitlab's pros outweigh its cons!"
What do you like best about GitLab?

I'm using Gitlab for a little over a year and must say it has been a smooth ride using it. For anyone who's used Github before can easily navigate Gitlab well. Codebase along with branching, merging and conflict resolution is effectively managed. The best part is CI/CD integration where our entire deployment can be instantly automated by creating pipelines. Overall, everthing is well documented, what each feature does is explained well. Lastly, it is a good tool for large scale organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

The number of features on the UI are a bit overwhelming, but it gets better eventually after one uses it for long time. Also, the most recent commits take few seconds to be visible, this might be a bug which can be easily fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Own Private Repo - Gitlab"
What do you like best about GitLab?

I have always been a fan of Gitlab since I became a tech savvy. Therefore, I use it very often since it is user-friendly even for beginner. Here are my favourite features, provide private repo and seanless and fully support version control. And it has seanless customer support and undersatndable documents are also available. Gitlab's implementation is very easy and allows to integrate with other vendor like AWS. Therfore, I use gitlab everyday to control version system of my product.
