Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

Gitlab is a platform used for collaborative work on multiple files. We use this product to address the same. It can also be integrated with existing infrastructure to provide seamless service and integration. The scope is limited to multi user collaborations so that individual workers can work independently and have version control.

Pros

  • version control
  • multi user collaboration
  • ease of use and integration

Cons

  • tokenisation
  • reduced downtime
  • frequent bugs
  • time saved is more than 50%
  • Reduced bugs lead to better throughput
  • Version control and code review provide better tools
Gitlab provides basic functionality like any other git tool. Some features of push and pull requests , clone and merge is handled equally well. It lacks in AI features which are there in GitHub and setup processes are difficult. Cost difference is the only concern while selecting this product over others.
Security vulnerabilities are handled well in Gitlab. There is tokenisation in built in the system that ensures encryption across domains.
This has enabled the team to reduce development time by 50% and chances of bugs by similar margin. Continous integration and continous development in a repository offers ease of use, code review and validation while sharing the code across multiple users working on the same.

No

Would you buy GitLab again?

No

It is most appropriate in use case where multi user collaborative work is required. If there is use case to integrate with tools and scripts then it can be easily done. Due to bugs in tokenisation, it sometimes lead to bugs and breaks during a typical workflow. Setup can be made easier as well.
