Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization is using git for the source code management like pull, push, merge request and changes history. We are also using GitLab to track the issues and resolutions. Its also provide some linking with the other issues tracking tools like MantisBt, Jira, Trello etc. It has options to connect with jenkin and other build creation tools, That helps allot at the time of QA and UAT.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Source code management
Issues tracking and linking with commits
Intigration with build creation tools and deveopes
Proper documentation of the features and operations

Cons

Some time its taking time in loading
Can improve the UI part
Graph view of commits is littlebit confusing in case of number of branches, It can be little bit improve

Return on Investment

Its impact positively on our business because before using the gitlab we did some harmfull codes live without review. But now we are reviewing our codes with the help of GitLab.
Issues are resolving in the proper time period.
Productivity increased becasue of the proper development steps.

Alternatives Considered

GitHub and Bitbucket

When i was using the other platform, Some time i face down time, But GitLabs its not happening for single time. GitLab is having easy user interference as compared to other platforms. Pull Request, Code review, Issue tracking, Merging, Access control and User Roles is having a very clean and relative user interference.

Security

Yes we are having a gitlab plan to manage private repos but sorry i am not having too much information about that.

Continuous Integration

Yes i checked this feature just for the demo project, But we are not using in any one of our projects, Because we are not having this type of the requirement. We are having our separate applications. Why the way this feature is very helpful for the apps which is using same modules in different projects.

Likelihood to Recommend

If some one wants to work with a very high quality and relible platform then they should use GitLab, It can auto merge the source codes without any harmfull action. All the codes and condition will be there. Its very helpfull in case of morethen one developer in a team and all are working on the same file or project.
