It is way easier to use the GitLab CD functionality than other competitor products because their API is way easier to use, and the errors from GitLab were more intuitive, so it's faster to iterate setting pielines up.

Cloud-Based UI and Git Integration: Users have praised the cloud-based UI of GitLab for supporting Git version control, allowing local checkout, and enabling multiple developers to work simultaneously in one file. The reduction of code conflicts and enhanced collaboration are highlighted benefits of this feature.
Integration Features: Reviewers highly value the integration of GitLab with version control, code review, and project management features. They find it easy to configure GitLab runners for running tests and defining permissions using Terraform, which streamlines their development processes effectively.
CI/CD Capabilities: Users find the CI/CD pipelines, merge requests, and open-source nature of GitLab beneficial for their development workflows. They appreciate the platform's integrations with other tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, and Toad. Additionally, they praise its security features for ensuring a safe software deployment environment.
Steep Learning Curve: Users have found the software's functionality vibrant but challenging to understand, indicating a steep learning curve that hinders quick adoption and proficiency. This complexity may lead to delays in fully utilizing the software's capabilities and may require additional training or support.
Lack of Intuitive Help Documentation: Some reviewers have expressed feedback on the need for more intuitive and comprehensive help documentation to assist with navigating the software's features effectively. The absence of clear and user-friendly guidance materials could result in users struggling to find solutions independently, impacting their overall experience.
Integration Challenges with External Tools: There are notes from users highlighting difficulties in integrating with external tools and complex customization features, suggesting a need for simplification to streamline workflows. These integration challenges can disrupt workflow efficiency and hinder seamless collaboration across different platforms and tools.
Reviews
(1-2 of 2)Gitlab, the best on-premise Git hosting you can get
- 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.
- 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
- Price
- Product Features
- 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.
