What differentiates GitLab Ultimate from other similar products?
I am a developer, and I use GitLab to host my code on a remote server. It allows me to collaborate with my team and work on the project efficiently, helping me deliver it within the given timeframe. GitLab's feature-rich user interface tool helps me manage the codebase of the project in a very organized manner.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really enjoy using Gitlab due to its beginner-friendly user interface. The code review section is particularly helpful when I review the code of my junior developers. It assists me in writing comments, comparing old and new changes, and even provides insightful suggestions. I find this aspect of Gitlab to be awesome! Additionally, I appreciate the feature that separates and merges branches based on approval rights. This helps to ensure that the codebase is in the right hands, and prevents anyone without proper rights from pushing or approving the code.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I have used GitLab extensively and I have not found anything to dislike about it. It is a fantastic tool.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
GitLab is an excellent option for teams seeking a comprehensive and adaptable version control system. I highly recommend giving the free plan a try to assess whether it suits your needs.

Gitlab has helped balance efficiency with security

What differentiates GitLab Ultimate from other similar products?
Gitlab offers the most complete software development and operations lifecycle of any Git repository I have had experience using. This is as a result of how it seamlessly connects important code version control provisions with software planning, end to end security / compliance and even AI assisted deployment. The aforementioned has saved my team a lot of time and made our repository management and code deployment workflow a lot more fluid, automated and efficient.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The very vibrant nature of Gitlab's active user community has been helpful to me, whenever I have had technical issues with using Gitlab. Another very exciting aspect of my Gitlab experience is its built-in security scanning tools, which helps to manage potential security vulnerability in our code and processes as we build, and even helps to simulate the potential activity of hackers in our finished software product, through fuzz testing, DAST and container scanning.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Gitlab's support team is not fast enough with its responses from my experiences. The major work around for me , has been to rely on support resources provided by the Gitlab user community, across the world on various web forums. Asides this, I have found Gitlab to be resource intensive , and because of the avalanche of features it possesses, . setting up Gitlab's CI/CD ( continuous integration and continuous delivery ) is always a cumbersome process, as a result of its reliance on the YAML syntax referencing for its configuration protocol.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I always advice teams to avoid self-hosting Gitlab because of the level of technical expertise and resources needed to maintain a self-hosted Gitlab option.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
