We use GitLab for storing our code repos as well as storing the applications that we use to test our product and test applications. We integrate GitLab with Jenkins, SonarQube, blueOcean, and a variety of other applications to ensure code quality in our CI/CD pipeline. We use GitLab to track changes to applications as well as have multiple versions. GitLab is great for version history as well.
- Version history - having the ability to see when things were last changed and by who.
- Integration with our other tools - to help ensure code quality.
- Multiple repos.
- Easy navigation.
- Better code quality.
- Faster time to code reviews.
- Pipeline works well with our other applications and reports all in one spot.
We migrated from Gerrit to GitLab, and minus a few minor bumps during migration, GitLab has been hands down better. Our devs have faster time to code review with notifications, the UI is easy to navigate and, and our pipeline is integrated and automated, so once everything is in place, our merges happen automatically. Gerrit was lacking in the UI, and notifications were hit or miss, so code reviews were delayed. Our pipeline is much smoother with GitLab.
We do not have a paid plan.
As stated, our code reviews are much faster with this integration; our unit tests and integration tests are triggered and reported back to GitLab, so we have all the information related to a code change in one spot rather than chasing pieces of information down to figure out what happened.
- Integrations with our other CI/CD tools.
- We integrate with Jira and the connection there is fantastic.
- We integrate with Jenkins and can easily report build failures back to gitlab and block the merge.
- Nothing particularly difficult, I do wish there was some better compare features when creating a new/updated code base because we have had issues with duplication.
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.
- We were using Gitorious a long time ago and Gitlab helped us to get rid of it. Gitorious was really old and unmaintained, so we gave a new life to our developers.
- We had to do our own packaging for the first versions because their Debian package was really bad at the time. Our package still remains to this time, but theirs are really better now.
I only use the free version, tried the paid version but did not need it after all. For this reason, I don't have much to comment on the paid version of Gitlab.
Continuous integration is probably the best feature of Gitlab. The main Git hosting is great, but the way they do CI is awesome. Gitlab was one of the first to introduce CI and it was available for their own installation and also the open source version. I used both and they work great. I have nothing but positive things to say about it.
Yes, it certainly makes. Currently, I'm using Gitlab to host the source code for one of my clients and it certainly makes the code easy to collaborate. We use the full feature set: code hosting, CI, pull requests, etc. The interface is very clean and makes everything obvious for all developers. The fact that we can configure the CI via yml file in the source code is another plus.
I had the chance to use Gitlab when working on-premise and now working remotely for more than 3 years. In both cases, Gitlab enabled a great collaboration setup for my team. We used the open-source version installed locally at the time and now I'm using their own SaaS version. Both work seamlessly.
When using the open-source version, it prevented us to have a very expensive Github account to hold all of our repositories. Gitlab also helped us to not have a dedicated tool for review (like Gerrit) because we were able to rely entirely on their CI + Pull Request management infrastructure.

They are all developers. We use Gitlab as a way to sync our code and review each others' work.
1
Currently, it's a one-man's work. We are using the SaaS version of Gitlab. The free version is enough for our usage. It's current my role to make sure everything works as expected and buy the paid version if something else is needed. In general, there's not much to do, it just works. All the work we have to do is to improve our own process.
- Code sharing
- Easy review via Merge Requests
- Easy CI to test our code on every change request
- We use the CI to check our HTTPS certificate. On every build, we check DNSimple and upload the certificate to Heroku. It guarantees we always have the HTTPs certificate updated
- We have the whole boad of directors on Gitlab so they can create issues and interact with developers there
- All of our product tracking is done via Gitlab boards.
- We want to use Gitlab CI to deploy a new app every time we create a new merge request so people can validate the app before merging
Yes
Long ago, when I first used Gitlab, we changed from Gitorious. Gitlab was still new, but way better than its competitor. Github was not an option for us at the time because it was too expensive. Gitlab proved to be a good choice with time.
- Price
- Product Features
Github was too expensive and we wanted to deploy something in our infrastructure. The open-source version of Gitlab was exactly what we wanted. It had less features but became feature-complete for us quickly.
I wouldn't change anything. We evaluated other competitors and Gitlab was clearly the winner.
No
We were using the open-source version, but even when using the free version, I didn't need support. When I faced a problem, I provided a Merge Request to the community version or opened an issue to the code directly. Their response was usually very good.
Yes
Yes, I did via Gitlab issues. The development team was very responsive. I was able to fix the problem myself and provide the code for the open-source version, which was promptly accepted.
I found a problem after installing a new version. I was able to reproduce myself and fixed in my local environment. I proposed a change via Merge Request and their response came in a few hours asking for more tests. I implemented them and my change was accepted some minutes after my push. The experience was great.
- CI configuration via yaml file is great. You can just use a default and do your changes via version control
- I like the way their Merge Requests work. They had many features implemented before Github.
- If you use the open-source version, you have to do the updates yourself. They have a good changelog, but it's up to you to manage the whole infrastructure. It's not a problem with Gitlab itself, but it takes time to get used to it.
Yes
I don't use it very much but their website is responsive. It seems to work well.

We use Gitlab for every code project we have such as the website, APIs and mobile applications. It offers a free plan that has everything you need. We use Gitlab, especially for it's CI (continuous integration) feature that let us automate team working and deploying frameworks on dev and productions channels
- Continuous integration
- Git
- Automations
- Faster work
We haven't use any security features provided by gitlab
We use continuous integration to share artifacts and developing status across all our channels including slack. It helps automate the QA process and get things done quicker.
Yes we use gitlab to store more than 10 different code projects. Thanks to CI we enabled automations to connect Gitlab to third party services like Slack and really helped team collaborating.
We use gitlab issue and Pull requests to assign bug or features request to developers on our team and to merge code from different environments
We replaced bitbucket just because gitlab let us have more and better automations using CIs

They represent the core business. We store the website, mobile applications and API of all our products

Supporting gitlab it's really easy you just need to know how to use any Git service and dev-ops softwares
- Automations
- Artifacts
- Store code
- Integrating gitlab with third party services
- for testing the backend in an automated way
Yes
It replaced bitbucket for dev-ops. We replaced it because gitlab is far better on the CI department and it help us automating and deploying artifacts in a quicker and easier way then bitbucket
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Product Reputation
- Prior Experience with the Product
We decided to use Gitlab for price + automations and CIs features the gitlab provides
in the process I would evaluate "Gitlab" just because it now supports CIs
No
During setup process I couldn't implement a edge feature of CI and they helped me indicating what tutorial to follow
- Continuos integration
- Managing projects
- Artifacts
