Overall Satisfaction with GitLab

We use GitLab as a source code repository and the main build environment for most of our projects. It allows us to have a comprehensive CI environment that easily separates the quick developer flow with the more comprehensive acceptance testing for a release.

Pros

  • Source code repository (it's just git...)
  • CI orchestration
  • container registry

Cons

  • It's not possible to chain MR in different projects
  • It's not easy to orchestrate CI flows across different projects
  • secret management isn't always the easiest
  • Positive - simple workflows, easy day to day work
  • Negative - added overhead when major features need to be conceptualized across different projects
  • Positive - easy to launch a new project
It just works.
  • GitHub
Personally I like reviewing on GitLab better than GitHub, but it's not a huge difference.
Never used them.
It's invaluable. Automated testing is the safety net we rely on when developing.

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 does a pretty good job across the board, but unless you're already a GitLab organization, it seems like GitHub is the easier choice.
