Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GitLab first because we need to save our code in a safe place and have the ability to see it in the repository. We document the code and we provide very descriptive information that helps the team to update an existing project or create a new one.

Pros and Cons

Version control.
Manage groups.
Manage users and access.

GitLab needs a reliable support center easy to access and get answers from it.
A site where we can get learn more about the project and the new features.

Return on Investment

We have saved time looking for source code thanks to Gitlab search bar.
We organize better because we have Groups to accommodate our code.

Alternatives Considered

Bitbucket

The navigation is user-friendly even for those that are not familiar with the version control servers. The documentation it has when you set up your access is pretty useful and GitLab has our beloved dark theme.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a development team, we are always concerned about the security of our clients' code, GitLab offers security by managing the correct access of all the members of the team, we have an admin that controls the access and the code is always available all the time 24/7. We love git and we're happy with GitLab, we can use any kind of client with GUI or just CLI.
