The ability to create nested groups for teams really helps > > **Cons**: Not much, it can be a bit heavy to run at times in browser and there is no official mobile app which can be annoyying ----- ### "GitLab is perfect for company code and can even be hosted locally" — 5.0/5 > **Charles** | *30 April 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that GitLab is not as large as Microsoft who recently acquired GitHub. They also from the beginning were focused more on the private git code for companies. > > **Cons**: Since they focus on the company more than the open source it means that more open source is hosted on GitHub and that means I need to know two platforms since we use OSS as well. > > They continue to innovate and I'm happy with the company. I'm glad they are competing with GitHub so we have more than one good solution. ----- ### "Beware of GitLab billing issues" — 1.0/5 > **Justin** | *25 February 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: GitLab does well as an all-in-one software development platform. > > **Cons**: If GitLab makes a billing problem, it may refuse to rectify the problem as they did with us. > > Not long ago, I ordered some GitLab licenses since more people wanted to use it. I asked to go from 57 to 75 licenses. Instead, GitLab put the order in wrong and added 75 licenses, bringing us to 132 total. About this time, I was pulled to a critically-important project that was way behind schedule and told not to work on anything else. When I got enough breathing room to switch back, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] acted like she couldn't care less. The most I ever got was "I'll be sure to look into it" or "I'm still looking into it". The process dragged on for weeks. I had to nag her over and over again for updates until she finally told me that GitLab's billing department had decided... not to give me a refund because it had been too long. How convenient, especially after dragging out the process for so long. I complained about this, asked for a new account manager, and got what I requested. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] took my concerns to the GitLab crew again... and got told once again that not only would we not receive a refund, GitLab wasn't going to offer us any sort of compensation or credit whatsoever. We're a software company as well, and we would never treat loyal customers this way - especially not our power users. I've built my DevOps career around GitLab and encouraged others to do the same. That GitLab could be so tone-deaf over a problem that was clearly their fault speaks volumes to how the company has changed. ----- ### "Lets GITtity Up\!" — 4.0/5 > **Drew** | *5 August 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having repository management, task tracking, and CI CD pipelines under one roof is a massive advantage. You do not have to glue together multiple third party tools to get code from a commit into production. Built in runner management, web based code editing, and flexible permission controls make code reviews and project coordination seamless across development teams. > > **Cons**: The user interface can feel cluttered and overwhelming because there are so many features packed into every menu. Performance and page load speeds can occasionally lag on larger repositories or heavy self hosted setups. Navigating through project settings to find specific pipeline or access control options can also take a bit of digging. > > Having used GitLab in previous development environments, it served as a reliable single source of truth for our entire software lifecycle. The value for money is strong considering how many separate services it replaces out of the box. Once your team gets past the initial learning curve, the convenience of managing repositories, issues, and deployments in one platform is hard to beat. ----- ### "Open source source code management tool" — 4.0/5 > **Ghanshyam** | *7 March 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is open source, and you can deploy it on your own server. > > **Cons**: Set up his complex compared to GitHub, the documentation can be more better. > > I had been using GitLab for more than two years now, it seems to a great, but sometimes it become quite laggy. ----- Page: 1 / 50\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/112635/gitlab?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/112635/gitlab) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
