There is nothing to dislike, I phase one issue when I used it in mobile web. I got confused in user interface of mobile view to merge code request. On other hand everthing is good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i have been using GitLab for several months now and it is been a great experience overall. What I really appreciate is how everything from version control to CI/CD pipelines is integrated into a single platform. It simplifies the workflow and reduces the need to depend on multiple tools.

The interface is clean and user-friendly, and managing repositories, merge requests, and issues is very straightforward. The built-in CI/CD is one of GitLab's strongest features — it's easy to configure and works reliably in most cases.

That said, there are moments when pipeline performance slows down, especially under heavy load, but it's nothing deal-breaking. Also, for beginners, the platform might feel a bit overwhelming at first due to the wide range of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From an admin eyes , GitLab offers a comprehensive and effective all-in-one DevSecOps platform that minimizes the need to manage multiple toolchains. The centralized user and group management, especially with SAML SSO and SCIM integration for enterprise tiers with almost all IDPs, significantly simplifies access control and identity lifecycle management for Gitlab.

It started out with a very minimalistic approach, but over time, they have consistently enhanced their features and addressed bugs with better support for customer satisfaction. The platform is now easier to use and less complicated. It also integrates with all the popular mailing, communication, collaboration, and alerting applications.

I'm missing a way to orchestrate reviews/merges across multiple repos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitLab combines source code management, CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, and DevOps automation into a single, unified platform. I love how seamless the Merge Request workflow is, and the pipeline configuration using .gitlab-ci.yml gives us full control. Its self-hosting option is a big plus for privacy-focused teams.

Built-in container registry stores our test Docker images versioned alongside code.

Code review tools with inline test coverage indicators show exactly which paths lack testing.

The GitLab Runner autoscaling on Kubernetes spins up hundreds of test executors during regression runs, then scales down to save costs.

The unified DevOps platform eliminates tool sprawl such as version control, CI/CD, test reporting, and deployment all in one interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pipeline YAML syntax is unnecessarily complex; simple parallel test configurations require nested includes and anchors that break mysteriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
