GitLab Pros and Cons

I like how easy it is to create pipelines with jobs and stages, use of variables and the concept of default runners and also ability to configure custom runners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The configuration of default runners is unknown - unless we run a particular command like uname Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It is a very useful software for code management.

2. We can manage our code of project into gitlab. We can manage our code by creating branch like master, staging, develop, feature and etc.

3. It is a version control software.

4. It is a open source software and easy to implementation. It can be used for DevOps.

5. We can do any integration into gitlab like CI/CD.

6. Many companies are mostly used this software for managing their code and documents as well.

7. This platform is very secure for security and we can track our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Sometime we were facing problem like intergration error.

2. There are some command facing issue like merge conflict.

3. We need some public repository on gitlab but unfortunatly it is not present in gitlab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The repository can show issues in a Kanban style format making it easier to see tickets linked to MR requests and workflows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting. Unlike something like JIRA, the customisation options for reports are limited. I was trying to export a list of tickets where labels have changed from In QA to In Progress (gone back in the workflow) but the options weren't really there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gitlab is not just a code repository it can be used as a orchestrator and help with implementing dataops , gitops like architectures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such , May be more powerful and cloud based runner availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CI/CD implementation with gitlab runners is really good.

Different types of runners is such a feasible option to integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the gitlab runners is not able to schedule a job for longer durations and it's quiet frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many things which i like best about gitlb. It offers tools for software development as well as version control. It's continuous integration and continous deployment is of top notch. Very helpful for managing projects . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For beginners it's UI feels complex and cluttered. And it's premium features are costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I love most about GitLab is how it brings everything together under one roof. You've got your version control, CI/CD pipelines, linters, code review (50% of the time is devoted to reviewing MRs), issue tracking – almost everything required it's there.

First of all, I am as a User frustated with searching capabilities of GitLab. For instance, when I am searching for snippet of code across tens of projects, it can't provide easy yet effective searching mechanism. Also, there is a bit of learning curve in terms of user interface, so it might be an obstacle for newcomers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitLab Community Edition is open-source, which means its source code is freely available to the public.

Despite being the free version, GitLab Community Edition offers a wide range of features for source code management, issue tracking, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and more.

GitLab Community Edition integrates seamlessly with various third-party tools and services, enhancing its functionality and adaptability to different development workflows.

While GitLab Community Edition is suitable for small to medium-sized teams, it also scales well to larger organizations. This scalability ensures that teams can continue using GitLab as their projects grow in complexity and scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gitlab community edition is need to self-hosted server.

It server is needed for minium 4Gb memory and expensive disk space ,as for me , it is not pleasure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We not need to install any addition Pipeline softwear like jenkins , ansible the git lab will take care of pipeline and deployment with it yaml file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The computer minutes

it will take the small linux machine to deploy where the compute minutes will consume more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its collabration feature is best. Git is a distributed source-control version controlling system which allows multiple people to collaborate at same time. GitLab can be installed in any private setup easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its much more than basic git, hence can consume a good amount of storage easily. Basic git is the simplest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
