GitLab Software

In one place you get all you need for your software: git repository, deployments, continuous integration, etc

Pros

I love that you can have everything in one place (and one login): git repository, project management, deployments, testing, etc.

Cons

It does a lot of thing, like atlassian products, but with a different design, maybe better
But I rather have separate products with better functionalities than one product that all in one but not really as good as the competitors: circleci, github, zenhub

Good issue tracking support
Total project related information is at one place
Good reports for project monitering

Pros

Good branching and merge support
Good review support
Good issue tracker support
Good scalability to accommodate more users based on the need of the project

Cons

Plans are little expensive
Issue board needs improvement
To use gitlab, need to provide training to use the software and its features

Pros

Many prices and variety of plans. Good integration with platforms. Easy, agile, intuitive and simplicity.

Cons

Uptime sometimes is below of spectatives. Miss some services integrations and features. Plans can be expensives.

Pros

Easy to create teams or projects, build-in "merge request" system. Big kudos for webhooks - we have integrated it easily with Google Chats!

Cons

Almost everything is OK, but webhooks could be done slighlty better - to integrate with other system you need to make some middleware, instead of generating own structure of webhook data

Pros

It is a free repository. operates under an open source license. Supports synchronization of groups and imports of git.

Cons

GitLab has a great competition with github. It depends on the internet. does not work with multiple languages

It helps me to work with someone on projects.

Pros

Android app available, so you can monitor team work on the go.
Custom slugs for group and usernames in URL.

Cons

Definitely price, because at start, much more functions was for free and now are only on paid plan.

A free way to be effective and to go straight to your goal. Lot of work is saved by this tool with respect to other similar solutions. This software is stable, you can install it wherever and it will work. You can upgrade it whenever with no surprise. Very nice tool. Forrester recommendations are all deserved.

Pros

Very simple and effective. Setting up a pipeline is immediate. It is pretty documented and also newbie can approach a good result in short time. Issue and agile management of a project is a big plus and recent capabilities to monitor project performances are impressive.
It is powered by docker containers and kubernetes and this make isolation and a sort of orchestration possible and easy.
People can focus on their own objective rather than spending time understanding the tool.

Cons

It is based on a project centric approach, but here the project is a single piece of code. Orchestration and release automation for complex scenarios must be delegated to other professional software. Standardisation of projects is not obvious since a pipeline refer to a single project. Environments refer to a single instance of an application. They are great but they do not easily correspond to what an environment usually means: an aggregation of nodes and software instances connected to each other.

Good overall package for git project management

Pros

Gitlab has too many features, nice UI/UX compared to Jira and its competitors, it has good wiki support too

Cons

Very time consuming for administration, very memory intensive and bulky interms of its memory footprint, the overall structure of the UI is too much nested, project - repo structure

Pros

open source platform with new features being added constantly. Full suite of tools including repository and issue tracking.

Cons

Interface not very intuitive for new users, especially for those with little experience. This would be the only con

Pros

Full suite of tools including but not limited to repository and issue tracking, milestones & issue boards, group and user management including project and even branch level permissions, continuous integration, scheduled jobs, project wiki, etc. All the features work together and using it to manage projects tends to pulls the details together rather than fragmenting them across different spaces.

Cons

It does kind of make assumptions about workflow that don't hold true for all projects. While it is flexible enough to adapt even when using only a subset of features on a project, it can leave people a little confused and overwhelmed because all the other unused bits are still around in the interface.

Pros

The feature set keeps on increasing with additions like Gitlab pages and Auto DevOps. The stack is impressive and the opensource nature of Gitlab also provides a better value for money spent.

Cons

The constant updates to the user interface might make it a little confusing to find stuff sometimes but over a period of time might not bother the end user.

using the common GIT and have the ability to control new code push & merge

Pros

I most like that it supports the common git commands from CLI in addition to the GUI that deal with code review part.

Cons

The code review don't have a good editor and advanced options to do different between new and old code parts.

This has been for my one of the best alternatives related to repository management, I would say that this is my 2nd best choice when using related software.

Another benefit is that I have been collaborating with other team member easily.

Pros

It is an open source platform in which new features are being added continuously.
I like that it's free for personal use and really cheap for small teams.
It's intuitive and easy to use.
The thing I like the most is the issues manager that allow us to link features to measurable tickets.

Cons

Sometimes It's buggy when trying to access a merge request, linking to other page instead of the merge request code, that has been my only dislike.

We gain in efficiency and productivity

Pros

You can have many integrated software, there are many functionality and the documentation is really good

Cons

There are still many feature missing. There is a lack of functionality at group level and it is not always easy to automatize a complete workflow

Pros

Continuous development of product - frequent fixes and updates. Free and open-source version for self-hosted installation. Free cloud solution for private repositories.

Cons

User experience isn't the best. Especially code review/Merge Request commits view. Some screens are to busy and cluttered with functionality. Missing lightweight feeling of GitHub.

I can manage any no of project in a single group. With the help of this software we are managing our products among the distributed teams. Overall the effort to merge the code is reduced after implementing the gitlab in our organization

Pros

It is featured enriched and easy to use software.
You can add any no of user in a particular repo free of cost.

Pros

This software is very practical for the development of applications and backup of them with easy access. Likewise, this software has great advantages for the management of user roles that can manage projects and perform certain actions.

Cons

The interface is not very intuitive for the user, and some knowledge is required for its use in certain actions.

Pros

I loved that we could have our private repositories without having to pay, it is also fantastic to be able to take the gitlab itself and recompile it to have its own gitlab by organization

Cons

The interface is not very intuitive, and the issue management seemed messy to me, there are certain design things to take care of.

Pros

To me, the great pros of GitLab are CI integration out of the box, free private repositories and their constant delivery of new and useful features.

Cons

There are some parts of their products that aren't as polished as their core features. Some features are really useful but are only available to the enterprise tier.

Pros

As a business owner GitLab offers great set of tools and flexibility which we can't find in other services like Bitbucket. Also, their free plan (forever) is great if you don't need support and have a small team. Also, the stability of their service is a great "hidden" feature as well.
