GitLab Reviews

The primary use of the solution is for LCDs and as a repository.

In GitLab, the most valuable feature is using information with a repository and using a containerized approach. You can use containers to create different jobs. 

The dashboard and interface make it easy to use.

GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc.

The solution is stable. So far, we have not experienced any problems or bugs.

Coming from container architecture makes it very scalable. Every job you create will be created with its own container so it doesn't create laws on the existing running jobs on other containers. It expands itself by usage.

As the solution is open-source, there isn't any particular support subscription. There's a community, which is usually quite fast but it's not dedicated to any particular company. It's not certain that you will get the support you need by a certain time. You have to figure it out by yourself. It's quite easy to do so, however. If you have people on your team who have knowledge about containerized technologies, then it's actually not a problem.

We previously used Jenkins. Jenkins management is more complicated than GitLab. GitLab is easier to manage. Because of the simplicity of the product, GitLab is better than Jenkins.

The solution was very straightforward to implement.

Another team did the implementation, but if you use public cloud software, you don't need to deploy anything.

The solution is open-source.

We use the public cloud deployment model.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We use GitLab in the new project for CI/CD, integration, and deployment.

You need to have a good knowledge of the product in order to use it.

I have been using GitLab for six months.

GitLab is a stable solution, and we haven’t faced any bugs.

Around 40 people are using the solution in our organization.

We previously used SVN and Jenkins. We switched to GitLab because it is an advanced tool with many new features.

The solution's initial setup is easy if you follow the official document.

We are using the free version of GitLab.

I am working with the latest version of GitLab. I would recommend the solution to other users based on their requirements. It is easy to learn to use GitLab if you understand Git commands.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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.
