Gitlab runners extenteds the standard git platform with a great platform for CI/CD implementations. It has easy to provision CI runners for you needs and the defenitions of pipelines and integrations are easy and very straight forward making it a must have platform.

The UI could be better it seems like it's constantly changing for the worse hopefully the better in the long time but it's not only on Gitlab it seems it's wider problem with others adapting the same layout which I find very confusing at this moment and harder to use.

What do you like best about GitLab?

GitLab UI is very easy to get started and very simple to use. It also allows importing projects from existing repositories such as GitHub, BitBucket, etc. which is very good.

What do you like best about GitLab?

It is very easy to configure and does not require any extra space on the computer. One just need to configure it and it is ready to use.

It's accuracy is another added advantage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitLab?

I loved the user interface of Gitlab and the fact that is offers more features at very cheap rate.

Gitlab provides their own runners therefore it is very convienent to use. Interface is very good and easy to understand comparitive to its counterpart jenkins. In gitlab pipeline runs automatically if we use a specific keyword but in jenkins we have to do so much configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitLab?

The amount of gitlab i have used i did not found any things to dislike it. It is really wonderful. Not so much data is available to integrate gitlab with other applications as it is very new to its counterpart. But it is improving constantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitLab solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gitlab provides cheaper alternative for users to have in place of github n jenkins. Have to do very less configuration than jenkins so very convienent to use. I used gitlab with OpenId Connect for Aws authentication and also did the same work with jenkins but it was way more difficult with jenkins. Gitlab also provided documention regarding that and I was able to do it with very little configiration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
