GitLab Reviews & Product Details

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.

Good to store code and keep track of different issues include features:

Git repository hosting, CI/CD pipelines, Issue tracking & boards, Code reviews & merge requests, Container registry, Security scanning tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

well most features are good and useful but UI is sometime slow if project is large, for self hosted it uses more resources. need to learn before uses else can get lost 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.

The absolute standout feature is the integrated CI/CD. the gitlab yml file is a very powerful tool. Merge requests feature is also amazing for peer coding and proper reviews Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i personally dont like the search functionality inside the code base, many times you will search for a word or phrase and it wont be able to fetch it in the files 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.

I like that with GitLab we have control over our data since we deployed our own server and linked it with our domain. It has been particularly useful for automating workflows like Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment, especially into Kubernetes environments. I also appreciate the ability to store secrets safely with GitLab, which adds an extra layer of security to our processes. Moreover, integrating GitLab with SonarQube for checking vulnerabilities in source code has been beneficial. After the initial setup on our AWS EC2 machine, everything works smoothly, which I really appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing anything at the moment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Actually we used GitLab for small team and all was perfect - so we didn't faced with difficulties or something to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gitlab helps throughout the SDLC process, from planning, bringing teams together, secure code and deployments on the cloud and also proper Issue and developments tracking 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.

The most helpful thing about GitLab is that it can help users to collaborate at any time.

Multiple users can work on a single project.

We can automate the project on Gitlab.

It is very easy to use for the developer at any place to edit the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful thing about the Gitlab is weird commands and directions they provide to their users.

Definitely, it is not the best platform for beginners to add their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of great things about GitLab. First of all, it has a feature to create multiple levels of groups. Then the CI/CD pipelines are very easy to use.

GitLab provides container registries, dependency proxy to pull container images, manages the Kubernetes environments etc.

The implementation of GitLab self-hosted runners is also very easy, and GitLab has enough documentation for the setup.

The integration of GitLab is pretty simple.

I am using GitLab daily for day-to-day operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitLab support is a factor that I don't like about GitLab. They are too slow to respond to P1 incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
