GitLab Software

Pros

The software is intuitive and incredibly easy to use. Since many software development projects require more than one person, Git makes it easy to create teams and collaborate. Git notifies you of all project updates and allows for real-time communication. In terms of managing projects, Git is incredible value in terms of a monetary ROI.

Cons

Despite all of GitLab's positive features, the lack of even a middling search engine renders the product's value as potentially negligible. Unless you input a perfect string of search words, you will never find the engineering ticket. i.e. If I create a ticket titled "Add extra fields for phone numbers for contacts", Git will only be able to find the ticket if I type the exact string. If I type two or more words, such as "phone numbers" or "fields for contacts", Git will not yield a result. If I type in only word, such "extra", then Git will return hundreds of possible entries that have used the word "extra". Even if you know the ticket number, you can't search for it successfully. In other words, when I need to learn the status of an engineering ticket, I need to find an engineer who literally has all the tickets memorized.

Pros

We are using self hosted system. It is easy to install, maintain and use. A lot of features. Frequent updates with even more features.

Cons

If to be very picky, they could do CI easier to setup and use. It is not that obvious from the very beginning.

It allows me to collaborate with colleagues on a per project basis very easily when I need extra help. It has solved my cost issues for my needs by being free.

Pros

I like the available suite of tools. I can host any type of repository free of charge. Free unlimited cloud, on premise option, if you want something done you can make it and collaborate it.

Cons

The user interface and management is a little clunky. You have to manually browse to the file structure if you wish to see it.

I like to use gitlab for CI /CD process and as central repository for my code. permission and roles are supported.easy to install.
Has issue tracking out of the box. Creating tickets, commenting on issues, closing issues etc. It's all there out of the box.

Pros

easy to use for CI /CD process.
Ssh key security
unlimited private repos.
user groups and privileges.it provides free private repositories.it is open source.

Cons

search functionality is not refined.
UI is very complex and hard to understand.
Supports only Git version control system.

It would be awesome to build out the profile view a bit more. I lead a team of developers and we use Gitlab and really like it for its privacy and ease of use, but because our repos are private we are unable to showcase our profile views on our portfolios etc. This has pushed me to split usage between gitlab and github. Gitlab for work / github for my private repos / gists / etc.

Pros

Price, private repos, ease of use for teams, (almost) all the features of github. We use gitlab for all of our client repos and it works great. Setting up teams and getting up and running is fast and easy. We've also looked into the option of self hosting gitlab on our own servers, but the web service is so good we haven't felt the need yet. UI is nice as well. Anyone familiar with github can easily jump in and enjoy gitlab.

Cons

Not as much community, profile view is not as robust / flushed out as gitlab. Feels private. Love the ease of private repos but that seems to be the main thing users are utilizing and there is less open source projects on gitlab. Also the profile view is not as well known as gitlab and there isn't the option to showcase private commits on your commit chart, which is a bummer.

better looking interface

Pros

Easy to use in collaboration with the team. User friendly and great customer support! Learning curve is very minimum and it has great documentation.

Cons

Needs better updates notifications. I never know where to go to find out if things have been added to the platform.

It's the best software i found on internet to manage your own repository.

I'm a developer and I use it for my project.
It's a really usefull tool with a lots of features. But it's really important to read the documentation to understand all the features.

Pros

All features about project management, and boards.

Cons

Difficulties to get started with pipeline but really interesting

The experience with this product is very proud.
Very effective tool that can facilitate the development of the software within a large team

easy to install
easy to update
easy to upgrade
easy to manage

Pros

more CI

Gitlab has been great for years for us. The various teams in the office have their own repo's, groups, and projects and seem to enjoy the wiki features.

Pros

Easy to install and manage.

Cons

A bit memory intensive but manageable.

Pros

The user interface is great and I really enjoy the CI/CD features. In addition we use the issue tracking, which has been helpful and easy to use.

Cons

It's not always apparent where menu options are in the responsive view. Also, it seems they iterate on small UI changes often which can throw off your workflow at first until you get used to the change.
