GitLab Reviews & Product Details

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.

GitLab brings everything into one platform. I can manage code, track issues, create pipelines, and review merge requests without switching tools. The built-in CI-CD is a big advantage as it saves time and makes the whole process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe it has a bit of a learning curve. The interface has a lot of features, so it takes time to get used to where everything is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gitlab starts of as feeling like a clone of github. But that misses the point. Gitlab gives you way more freedom to work as you please, to install and run on-premise or work with SaaS in the hosted gitlab.

I'm a bit OCD maybe but "merge request" is more accurate than "pull request" as github calls it. So it feels more 'technically correct'. All the usual integrations exists, very easily links to IntelliJ products, as command line of course still remains there for the die hards. I use gitlab every day, multiple times a day. It's part of my software engineering workflow.

To get started, there's some clicking around to find your way, but it becomes natural to understand when youknow the basics. Especially good are the features to resolve merge conflicts by editing online and running interactive merge tools online, as well as the interactive CI configuration editor.

Gitlab is not a slick and "fun" as Github. But it's way better to use than running a "pure git" repository over ssh connection or shared filesystem with your colleagues.

Self-hosted, while that brings it's benefits, can be slow, and combined with the clicking around to figure stuff out, makes it feel a bit clunky. SaaS cloud hosted is much better and faster, but of course you pay for that.

As an "end user" it's easy to get going with gitlab, and there's endless community support as well as customer support. Though you can see some feature requests do lag for a long time until getting resolved.

As an admin, integrating Gitlab could be worse than it is, but it's way better to maintain and operate than doing without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is the GitLab brings together version control, CI/CD, issue tracking, and project management in a single tool. I really like how seamless it is to go from writing code to deploying it, all without leaving the platform. The built-in CI/CD is easy to set up, and the merge request workflow helps keep code quality high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can feel a bit slow sometimes, especially with larger repositories or more complex pipelines. Also, some settings and permissions are buried deep in menus, so it takes a while to find things unless you use it regularly. The UI could use a bit more polish in places.

GitLab is an exceptional all-in-one DevOps platform that offers a wide array of tools for the entire software development lifecycle — from planning to CI/CD to monitoring. It stands out due to its integrated approach, allowing teams to manage repositories, pipelines, issues, merge requests, and security all within a single interface.It is easy to collaborate, review, and enforce quality gates with approval rules, code owners, and discussions.

The self-hosted version of Gitlab can be heavy on memory and CPU, requiring significant system resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
