GitLab Reviews & Product Details

I like the automation feature in GitLab, which runs tests on its own every day. It's really helpful that it makes accessibility for other team members very easy, allowing us to actively collaborate on the project and maintain a common repository to be shared with everyone. Also, the initial setup of GitLab is very easy and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing specific like that. But the push and pull can be a bit better. The code, which I have pushed, if I can't revert a specific part of it, I have to revert everything back if there is any issue with the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about GitLab is that you do not need to use multiple tools. It covers git repo, ci/cd, sprint planning, tracing issues,and deployment. It comes with built in ci/cd which works out of the box. By just adding .xml file, we can set up ci/cd easily, no third party integration needed. So for any project easy to build, test and deploy. We're using GitLab frequently and it helps everyone from developers to project manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sprint planning is simpler compared to other tools. 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.

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.
