Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

Gitlab is a popular repository hosting platform that provides a cloud-based repository for project collaboration. We are using it to manage daily version controlling of the software we are developing that is git and using GitLab as a cloud source where we store all of our code since while building software we need to maintain different versions and GitLab uses the concept of branches to store different versions other things it does better is the security of our code!

Pros

  • Repository hosting
  • Secure
  • Ease of use
  • Branch management

Cons

  • User community
  • Paid plans are little costly.
  • Firewall
We have chosen GitLab for simplicity, at the initial phases it does provide all the things we need but as the project is getting to the next stage we have trouble with pipelining and DevOps. So we moved to Azure DevOps later but overall GitLab is great for beginners it provides all the things we needed!
Yes, we did move to GitLab paid plan but haven't noticed any security vulnerabilities so I can't comment on this but overall GitLab is safe and secure to use.
Yes, it does the job but the configuration of CI/CD is really difficult on GitLab in my opinion.

Do you think GitLab delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with GitLab's feature set?

Yes

Did GitLab live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of GitLab go as expected?

No

Would you buy GitLab again?

No

Gitlab is best suitable for version hosting repositories so that multiple people can code simultaneously and store code on GitLab. Gitlab is less appropriate when you want to set up DevOps, AutoDevops to be specific its really hard to configure everything on GitLab. So recommended for beginners but for advanced users, there are multiple best options in the market.
