Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

It's the main tool used to manage our git versioning, CI/CD, merge requests and repository for several of our projects. But we don't use it for issues tracking in my team (we use Jira for that).
  • Merge requests
  • CI/CD
  • Repository tracking
  • Searching can be done in multiple places with different behaviors, so it's sometimes confusing
  • The merge request changes tab could have more info, like git history on some lines, highlighting partial changes in a single line, to replicate more closely what someone would see in an IDE
  • It increases my individual velocity
  • It decreases project downtimes since it makes reviewing code and tracking/rollbacking commits easier and faster
I do not use these features
It executes tests on all commits, allowing us to ensure quality and reduce test flakiness.

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?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of GitLab go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy GitLab again?

Yes

It's an excellent tool for tracking and navigating multiple repositories. For merge requests, the UI could include more info but I usually check-out the branch anyway. The search function is very advanced, but it has different behaviors depending on where you are in the tool, making it a bit confusing at times.
