Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Gitlab is used across the whole organization, version control of all our projects is done using Gitlab. We also use submodule in order to avoid multiple instances of the same objects or codes in different projects. With CI/CD we don't have to deploy the code on the server every time we make updates. Also, it's quite easy to identify who made changes in codes, everything comes in handy in Gitlab.

Likelihood to Recommend

For business or enterprise purposes, Gitlab is much better than GitHub and Bitbucket. When we compare the pricing, Gitlab is lesser but it's less likely to have features like autopilot as in GitHub. Since most of the open-source developers use GitHub, Gitlab might not be suitable for publishing open-source packages or modules.
