By design, Gitlab is built for agile project management practices and protocols. Gitlab features like ' issues ' and ' boards ' , makes it possible for members of my team to organise, visualize and plan our software development workflow as effectively as possible.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Gitlab is not suitable for working offline and it has shown security vulnerabilities and concerns over the years, such as the SQL injection incident in 2018 and another alarming situation in 2020 where attackers gained access to Gitlab instances without needing any credentials. The aforementioned security breeches and others still put a question mark on the security provisions on Gitlab and how effective they have been.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is important to tailor a teams existing development protocols to match Gitlab's strong points.

What differentiates GitLab Ultimate from other similar products?

Everything is in one place, with documentation and explanations of what each feature does, an intuitive user interface, and deployment. It helps us manage the code base of all projects very well with its feature-rich user interface tool. This allows me to work on other branches while the code is being committed, reviewed and deployed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

By using GitLab as a source code management and project collaboration platform, my team and I have been able to work together more effectively and efficiently in real time, with everyone able to see the current state of the code and the history of changes. I can protect my data with the many security features this platform offers.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not all of GitLab's integration documentation is comprehensive or easy to understand. As a result, the technical team had to work harder to complete the integration.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Online discussion boards, code commenting, and the creation of issues and tasks have all contributed to a more streamlined development process and improved cross-departmental coordination. Any organization would benefit from this.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Enables Productivity

We have likewise taken advantage of the open - source nature of Gitlab to modify and extend some of its default functionalities to fit our unique developmental needs.

For users new to software development operations, it takes a while to understand the capabilities and features of Gitlab. I am also of the opinion that Gitlab's integration capability is not extensive enough.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For seamless collaboration during development for medium and large sized software development projects, Gitlab is the platform that I recommend.
