Use Cases and Deployment Scope
My organization is using git for the source code management like pull, push, merge request and changes history. We are also using GitLab to track the issues and resolutions. Its also provide some linking with the other issues tracking tools like MantisBt, Jira, Trello etc. It has options to connect with jenkin and other build creation tools, That helps allot at the time of QA and UAT.
Pros

- Proper documentation of the features and operations
Cons
- Some time its taking time in loading
- Can improve the UI part
