Gitlab is great
I am currently using Gitlab for software projects in my company and for some of my clients. I highly recommend Gitlab for distributed teams, especially for software projects that are developed in offshore mode. A key feature of Gitlab is its JIRA Software integration. This is very useful considering that JIRA is a very powerful agile planning tool.
- Supports the entire CI/CD lifecycle.
- Integration with JIRA Software.
- On-premise self-managed version.
- Documentation could be better.
- Multiple issue assignees should be a core feature.

GitLab at a small company
We use it for nearly all of our projects, as one of the central repository and DevOps tools. We use most of its features, mostly the repository, ticketing, and CI/CD pipelines. It has been our main project management tool for many years now.
- Very nice and high UX value GUI.
- Pipeline administration.
- Issue tracking and wiki functionality.
- Must restart it when we upgrade it, upgrade processes tend to be problematic.

The best chemistry of version control happens in Gitlab
We use Gitlab across our entire business, from documentation to code versioning to CI/CD and IaaS. We've used other documentation tools such as Confluence by Atlassian but we keep coming back to Markdown in Gitlab because of the simplicity, exportability, portability, better versioning, better integration - such as with Readthedocs. Our helpdesk team finds Gitlab easy to use. We also use Gitlab for our development teams and operations teams.
- Markdown.
- CI/CD integration.
- User and group management.
- Branding.
- Standard Gitlab implementation.
- Themes.
- Need to reconfigure too often.
- Use the same Markdown engine everywhere.

Happy we switched from GitHub to GitLab!
Gitlab is used across Sutori and it allows us a clear view of all the existing bugs/stories that we need to address as a company. Having everything in one centralized place is one of the reasons why we're big fans of Gitlab as it allows viewers and collaborators to all get involved in the process of fixing issues and moving to the next business item.
- Ease of Use
- Continuous integrations
- Automated help
- Onboarding some of our employees can be a bit of a drag
- The backing of Gitlab can take a while

Gitlab is great for both enterprise solutions and personal use
I use Gitlab both personally and professionally. I have also used it at several organizations. In my current organization, it is being evaluated for rollout as a company wide version control standard.
- Pipelines: Gitlab Pipelines is an excellent way to get started with pipelines easily and without much overhead. And with it being all encapsulated within Gitlab itself, it makes integrating your code into that pipeline even easier. Just a little bit of code and VOILA. You have at least a minimum viable pipeline.
- VCS: Gitlab is, of course, a great version control system.
- Usability: Gitlab has really put a significant amount of focus into usability. They've drilled down and ensured that the way companies and individuals need to use the tool, they can.
- Groups: Gitlab makes setting permissions on projects extremely easy. Other version control systems make it more difficult to set things granular enough, but gitlab allows you to group things in a granular enough way for your projects.
- In some ways, it's more difficult to navigate the web UI than I would like. Could be an overload of options, or could just be the difference of switching between different version control systems.

A great product
We use Gitlab to check in all the codes that we develop. We use it as an online repository.
- Can be accessed easily from the terminal.
- Easy to maintain the codes online.
- Can't think of any.

Gitlab - it's like GitHub but pretty much just as good!
Gitlab is being used by our development team (whole organization) as our git source control provider and our build system, CI and CD provider. We use it for managing and reviewing pull requests and configuring our deployments for each project. It saves us from having to use multiple systems and is much easier as a built-in solution.
- Gitlab hosts your code and provides build servers all in one solution.
- Pull requests and code reviews are all easy within Gitlab.
- A viable alternative to using GitHub.
- They keep adding features all the time.
- Not as good as GitHub in some areas.
- UI isn't as pretty or friendly as its competitors.
- Has a lot of room for growth.
- Is lacking some enterprise-level features.

Gitlab: a git based CI/CD platform
Gitlab is used by all departments at my current client as a code repository and a tool for automated integration and deployment. It is used across the IT department. It has been used to implement the CI/CD system and source control. It has also been used for tagging. It has different runners which run different tasks.
- CI/CD implementation
- Source control
- User access of the source code
- Runner performance
- Real-time job and task status
- Nested pipelines

Version Control for Complex Projects in Small-Mid-Size Companies
I've used Gitlab at multiple roles in a few different companies, though never as a lead developer or software engineer. Especially at a small to mid-size company, Gitlab's support for project management and version control using git repos can't be beat. It works as a platform to allow for cross-organizational collaboration on code repositories. A major reason to use Gitlab in an organization is its CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous deployment) pipeline, which facilitates the passing of code to the repos reliably and quickly between team members.
- CI/CD capabilities.
- Variable access/security levels for different users within an organization or working on a project.
- Project management capabilities far surpass GitHub's PM capabilities: easier to manage and organize contributions to repos.
- Interface and use can be overwhelming for new users: built-in tutorial or key highlights would be helpful to lessen the learning curve.

Gitlab free with unlimited private repositories
We use Gitlab to easily manage all of our projects. With these tools, we have access to private repositories which is a big benefit for us. We also use this software because it is very intuitive and easy to use. This tool also helps us to review our code without effort and give us extra time to spend writing more code instead of debugging.
- Private repositories
- Free to use if you are a small organization
- Helps to manage our projects
- Saves time
- Code conflicts are sometime hard to resolve
- No Jira

Unlimited free private repositories!
We use Gitlab as a way to backup, host, and distribute source code via Git version control. It is used across our entire organization, but only about 80% of our Git repositories are hosted on Gitlab (the rest are on GitHub). We chose Gitlab for hosting the majority of our repositories because it allows us to keep an unlimited number of these repositories private for free. This is a paid feature of its major competitor, GitHub.
- Free unlimited private repositories. I'm not aware of another hosted Git platform that offers this.
- Gitlab CI has first-class support for continuous integration features. This makes it easy to seamlessly integrate tests, deployments, and other triggers into your development workflow.
- It's open source, so you can run a self-hosted version if your organization requires it. This makes it easy to switch if new compliance or security requirements forced you to house all source code on a private network.
- Third-party integrations. Many developer tools integrate deeply with GitHub, but lack support for Gitlab. Gitlab does have webhook support so it's possible to build your own integrations, but this can be time-consuming.
- Gitlab's main competitor (GitHub) has a massive social network of coders and hosts nearly all popular open source projects. If you are looking for this type of community, Gitlab may not be for you.
- Customer support & reliability. In the time I've used Gitlab, it's not uncommon to experience hours-long periods of downtime without any announcement or indication from the support team when it will be available again.

A powerful and beautiful repository.
I use Gitlab in my company to keep all the projects updated in the cloud, any change or new ticket generated by the clients and developed in a test branch and then passed to quality so that it is tested and later deployed in production. I love this version manager because it provides an easy to use interface and quick to synchronize incidents and milestones in each project.
- Wide community with a lot of documentation
- Easy access to repository and with SSH security
- Easy integration with groups of large and small jobs.
- the free version sometimes gets a little slow and has 502 errors
- little documentation for the Hispanic community.
- ou can improve with more efficient and affordable plans.

Cost-effective, well integrated, developer-centric
Gitlab is currently used across our company predominantly by our technical staff as our go-to version control manager, CI-CD pipeline and developer wiki tool for internal and external projects.
- Version control
- Open source
- Issue tracking
- Slightly difficult learning curve for non-technical staff to navigate through the relevant pages in projects
- No ability to fully customise permissions
- Issue tracking is not the most user friendly

Gitlab - one stop shop for source code management
We use gitlab for source code management of our integration test code. Gitlab has been crucial when working with remote users, offshore or nearshore, in ensuring code quality and stability of our builds. It also integrates with many of our existing tools to create a streamlined pipeline of work for our users providing feedback at every stage of the process.
- branching
- merge requests
- integration with other tools
- jira integration

The best in class application management platform
We use GitLab to host our private applications that we build for clients. We also use GitLab to build and deploy our own website. We are a technology focused company writing applications, scripts and tools for ourselves and our customers. All of the code we write gets committed to GitLab repositories. GitLab CI makes it super simple for our code to go from commit to production. We deploy code to Kubernetes and GitLab CI gave us templates to craft our deployments with.
- GitLab CI makes it dead simple to add continuous integration to any project.
- GitLab's Docker container makes setting up your GitLab server easy.
- GitLab provides a free way to host your own private repositories.
- If you want to run GitLab yourself, you have to do all of the heavy lifting.
- Navigation into projects can be difficult if you are part of a lot of groups.

Gitlab, the best on-premise Git hosting you can get
Gitlab was used by the entire engineering team (developers and operations) to hold all the code for all our projects. It was installed on-premise since we had 1000 projects to hold. All teams throughout the company used it on a daily basis to share code and discuss merge requests and issues.
- Great interface for merge requests and issues.
- Great community. It's easy to interact with and propose new stuff.
- Used Gitlab community edition for years and it solved all my complaints during these years.
