GitLab Reviews

We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag.

We would like to have easier tutorials. Their tutorials are too technical for a user to understand. They should be more detailed but less technical. 

We would also like to have a desktop app for GitLab which will make things a little more seamless.

We have been using this solution for six years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

We had some GitLab integrations and needed some assistance. We received pretty good support.

Positive

We compared this solution with Atlassian. Atlassian has Bitbucket and we felt GitLab is a little easier to use.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

We use GitLab for the continuous deployment of CI/CD pipelines that are running on various GitLab services. We also use it to run nightly jobs and to run any other case-specific issues.

I like that it's easy to deploy our services over GitLab. The customer support is also good with a really active community. You have a lot of support that you can get online with your stack. That is probably one of the benefits of using GitLab. It's also really fast.

It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. 

Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain.

If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain. 

I have been using GitLab for over a year.

GitLab is a fairly stable solution. On a scale from one to ten, I would give it a seven for stability.

GitLab is scalable. You can replicate services, architecture, and more.

Technical support is good.

I would recommend this solution.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give GitLab an eight. 

We primarily use this solution for repository tracking issues and reporting. We also use it for component integration. Our focus is pipeline field leads. We used to work with JIRA. I'm a developer and we are customers of GitLab. 

The solution is similar to all the repository tools or the work tools on the market. I like it and find it quite easy to use. 

The reporting could be improved and I'd like to see some testing or other deployment tools and integration with third parties. 

I've been using this solution for five years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Depending on the situation, I would recommend it. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We are a consultancy company, and we mostly sell application tools such as Jira and Bitbucket, but sometimes, our clients have Gitlab or Github, and then we offer the consultancy experience in DevOps for improving the process.

All use cases for this solution are for the financial industry. Around 50% of our clients are financial services.

The most valuable features of Gitlab are integration with CIE and the ability to rapidly deploy solutions, projects, and applications. It is very easy to use, and there are no complaints.

It could have more security integrations and the ability to check the vulnerability of the code. I don't think it is a responsibility of Gitlab, but it would be nice to have more options to integrate with.

I have been using this solution for about two or three years.

Its stability is good.

Its scalability is good. Our clients are medium to large businesses.

I have never used Gitlab's support.

Sometimes, clients migrate from Gitlab to Bitbucket. Sometimes, they migrate from Bitbucket to Gitlab. The most important feature that they are looking for is more integration with other tools, and they find Bitbucket a better solution for that.

It is straightforward.

For deployment and maintenance, usually, most of our clients have one person who is a DevOps engineer or CCM Administrator. We contact them so that we can assist them.

The most evaluated option is Bitbucket. 

I would recommend this solution. I would rate GitLab an eight out of ten.
