Es ist schwer Gitlab von der Konkurrenz abzugrenzen, zb Github. Gefühlt bietet Github sogar mehr Funktionen…

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Vorteile

Die Einfachheit das Preisleistungs Verhältnis .

Nachteile

Ich finde das dass Programm ein bisschen unübersichtlich ist.

Vorteile

Wir nutzen GitLab täglich im Scrum Projekt für unsere commits und Versionierung. Diese Funktionen sind super ausgebaut und erfüllen Ihren Zweck selbst in einem Team von 10 Leuten gibt es selten Probleme.

Nachteile

Integration in unsere tägliche Arbeitsprozesse war kompliziert

Vorteile

- Lack of corporate nonsense. It allows you to focus on what is important (the code!)
- The possibility of self-hosting.
- Decent set of features at the free tier.
- Excellent set of features if you decide to self-host.

Nachteile

- Janky web interface. It should be much less cluttered.
- Since it is not dominating the industry, the UI requires some getting used to (may not be a con for some)
- Wonky CI/CD runner setup.

Vorteile

I like the all in one setup Gitlab offers, CI/CD, issue tracking are built in, which makes project managing easier

Nachteile

The interface feels cluttered at times, and some features are hard to find. Its not always as intuitive as Id like

Vorteile

I started using GitLab because private repositories were free. I've been using it less since private repositories became free on GitHub as well, but it remains a great tool.

A large part of its features are sufficient in the free plan.

Nachteile

I hate GitLab's interface; it's just my personal opinion, but nothing feels intuitive. They use Cloudflare protection everywhere, the colors, etc., make it look like an old-school Microsoft application. Plus, it’s much less popular than GitHub in terms of open-source projects and community activity.

Vorteile

Gitlab is a one stop shop for all of your sdlc life cycle from project planning to scm, ci/cd, security, documentation it has a fully pipeline curated for most use cases.

Nachteile

The restricted options for privileges are a small bind it would be more useful if you could design custom roles with privileges that suit your organisation.

Vorteile

I have been using gitlab for over 6 months now. The actions it has are amazing which has helped me to automate builds and deployments. The authentication was easy.Also, if you have previous experience with github it would not take much time for you to hoop on to this.

Nachteile

The UX is not very decent. Since i have a github background i find it very difficult to find the feature on the pages

Vorteile

- Easy Self Hosting
- Good CI/CD Integrations

Nachteile

When setting up the Self hosted Version, we ran into a few Problems, however thanks to the docs we could solve those

Gründe für den Wechsel zu GitLab

Vorteile

I enjoyed the encrpytion and protection of our code with GitLab the most, and how it is already compatible with our GitHub branches and repositories.

Nachteile

The pricing of GitLab and being per user were huge turn-offs for us as a business but understandably considering the nature of the product.

Vorteile

1. The Gitlab community is extremely helpful in managing queries, handling errors, and collaborating on projects.
2. It can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines, making the development process streamlined and enhancing team productivity.
3. It is available both as On-prem and SAAS.

Nachteile

Very difficult to learn as a new come. Highly expensive product and sometimes faces issues with performance.

Vorteile

Its a great way to work on coding projects by collaborating with teammates.

Nachteile

It has a limited amount of people who can collaborate on a single project. I think it's 10.

Vorteile

1. Gitlab community size is quite high for questioning, discussions and information.
2. Helps in effective source code compliance , CI/CD planning , security scanning significantly.
3. Good platform to manage, implement and track software performances.

Nachteile

1. The platform performance hampered sometime with the ratio of users using.
2. Little complex for users to understand this if starting this newly.
3. Taking advance and enterprise features makes it costly.

Vorteile

GitLab's collaboration features, such as merge requests and issue boards foster efficient teamwork.
GitLab places a strong emphasis on security and provides tools like role-based access control,
Workflows and issue boards can be customized using the platform.
The CI/CD pipelines at GitLab are strong. The ease of setting up and managing pipelines directly within the repository simplifies the development process.

Nachteile

Navigating the platform and understanding all its capabilities might require a learning curve for individuals new to the tool.

Vorteile

1. Integrated platform for all my CI/CD needs
2. Great to options for runner, one of the only platforms to provide native kubernetes runner support.
3. Robust options in terms of pipeline flexibility. You can have parent and child pipeline models for complex pipelines

Nachteile

1. Because of native support, its flexibility highly depends upon bug fixes done by gitlab team
2. Support on forums is difficult to get unless you have purchased a support package.
3. Newer runners such as kubernetes are yet to get matured. In my personal experience the feature additions are not yet integrated completely but get added as patches on the running pods. This should be a part of config.toml

Vorteile

Integrated CI/CD, Collaboration Features, Comprehensive Platform

Nachteile

GitLab can be resource-intensive, particularly for self-hosted instances and GitLab's extensive feature set and customization options can result in a steep learning curve for new users

Vorteile

Having used both GitHub and GitLab, I found that GitLab stands out with its beginner-friendly UI and easy-to-use pipeline management. The reason is that I prioritize how quickly someone can catch up when joining a new project and using a tool. In this aspect, I highly recommend GitLab.

Nachteile

While this doesn't affect enterprise plans, the free plan has some limitations. Additionally, unlike other software, it lacks substantial community support.

Vorteile

Gitlab can be used as SCM and CI/CD in one tool.

Nachteile

till now I haven't found any cons in my working experience with Gitlab

Vorteile

The customization is unbelievable and there are constant new updates for new features.

Nachteile

It can have a large learning curve to get up to speed on how to use.

Vorteile

The features that impressed me about gitlab are Version Control, issue tracking, and the ability to automate development workflows through CI/CD. Thank to the intuitive interface and ease of use, it helps to easily implement it into projects. Also the possibility of hosting projects in the Gitlab cloud or deploying locally helps a lot to adapt to needs.

Nachteile

In very large projects, perfomance and speed may be slowed down. Also the advance configuration that Gitlab offers can be very complex for new users, some features could be simplified and made more accessible. Although Gitlab has a lot of documentation, more tutorials and examples would be needed to fully take advantage of Gitlab.

Vorteile

Its a easy way for partly VC and displaying information in the context of teaching

Nachteile

i did not dislike anything about gitlab, there are surely things that can be upgraded but there is no real bad part.

Vorteile

It’s one of the top two git repository platflorms I’ve used

Nachteile

I get the feeling that it’s not as popular as github.

Vorteile

1. It Offers a free Version which cover most of the project collaboration features, which is great for Startups like golden mist Software.

2. Allows Integrations with other third-party software like JIRA allowing a comprehensive overview of the development environment

Nachteile

1. The licensed version with much more improved features seem a bit expensive for the small startups.

2. Complicated to install for one without the expertise.

Vorteile

Highly customizable and gives a pretty close experience to GitHub but with ability to host the service on your own server.

Nachteile

Not a lot to dislike except when some updates break things causing down times on your own repositories. This was a few years ago though, it's much better nowadays.

Vorteile

Easily manage the versions
Able to create ci/cd pipeline

Nachteile

Na.

Vorteile

In addition to allowing the management of code repositories, it also provides tools for continuous building, automated testing, issue tracking. Its ability to host both public and private code repositories.

Nachteile

Its relatively steep learning curve. May require significant hardware and bandwidth resources to run properly.

Vorteile

It is a great tool for collaboration between development team members. It has lots of nice useful features.

Nachteile

I did not encounter any issues with GitLab.

Vorteile

I like that GitLab incorporates a variety of security scanning tools, including static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), and container scanning into our development process . These tools help to analyze our code and our application's runtime behavior to identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

Nachteile

GitLab lacks the ability to be a full project management software. Thus , for projects that involves extensive collaborations with teams outside our development team, Gitlab needs to be integrated with a standard project management tool.

Vorteile

User friendly interface, easy to use controls. The Visual Studio Code UI for inline editing of files is very helpful in case we want to update code directly in the web-UI without needing to download the code in local, edit in IDE and then push back it to the source control.

Nachteile

The latest update had moved the profile and sidebar to the left and has not given proper customization options to the user. The old interface of having it customizable was better.

Vorteile

Its comprehensive and integrated DevOps toolchain, which helps to streamline the entire software lifecycle. Makes it so much easier for version controlling to CI/CD and project management. It has a robust access controls and also it s having detailed permission settings makes the security and collaboration very good. Also its GUI and big API support makes the automation very easy. This all-in-one GitLab simplifies the workflows and reduces need for switching to multiple tools and helping us to increase productivity.

Nachteile

It's quite hard to find a con in this. Only thing I felt is the its GUI has a lot of features makes a new user's work challenging.

Vorteile

Avantages:
- Versionning des fichiers
- Gestions des droits (Clients / Projets / Collaborateurs / Groupes / etc...)
- Sécurité
- Mise à jour régulière et facile à mettre en place

Nachteile

Inconvénients:
- Nécessite une bonne configuration de serveurs en Community Edition
- Les runners sont assez gourmands en ressource réseau

Vorteile

Integration of Code repository with pipelines which run on the fly in its own container with minimum effort to deploy.

Nachteile

Too many features at times make it difficult to look or search or navigate to

Vorteile

I like the clean, nice-looking interface and controls. I how it sets up pipelines, displays status of each deployment and allow me to re-run.

Nachteile

It would be nice to be able to re-start a pipeline rather than having to create a new one, even a duplicate feature to create the same one again.

Vorteile

Indispensable une fois mep. Il intègre le versionning mais bien plus. La gestion des commits, le ticketing d'issue ou d'incidents. Tout y est.

Nachteile

L'IHM en mode connectée est vraiment d'une autre époque

Vorteile

I like Gitlab in most ways. It has great task management that integrates well with code changes. As a Git server, it does everything you need. It's relatively easy to administrate. If you stick with the well-supported features then Gitlab will serve you well.

Nachteile

The technology is showing its age and can be frustrating to use. Integrating custom runners can be shockingly painful. I have run into UI bugs that allow tasks to be run before their dependencies are met which has caused serious release problems. Designing pipelines without a system like Github actions is incredibly fiddly and error prone.

Nachteile

I don't see any not good of using this application/tool.

Vorteile

The UI is really straightforward, set-up a in-house deployment also is super easy , and cheaper

Nachteile

Sometimes apply the updates is a bit tricky

Vorteile

GitLab permet de gérer son code source de façon efficace, en un ou plusieurs repositories privés ou publiques mais surtout de gérer des pipelines. Ces pipelines permettent d'avoir des builds en plusieurs étapes bien détaillées et de pouvoir construire des stratégies de déploiement sur des infrastructures variés.

Nachteile

Le gros souci que j'ai rencontré sur GitLab concerne ses modèles de pipelines que l'on peut inclure dans ceux de nos applications. Ils sont mis à jours, incluent des breaking changes et si obligent de mettre en place des garde-fous pour éviter que nos propres pipelines ne crashent à cause de dépendances sur cette partie là.

Vorteile

L'intégration de l'authentification avec github permettant de migrer ses projets.

Nachteile

Interface non intuitive pour les non initiés.

Vorteile

Strong security tools, on-premise sollution, nice CI/CD features. Good for bigger teams.

Nachteile

UI and UX are not really nice, pretty expensive to run on-premise solution, less integrations than Github. Not that good for smaller teams.

Vorteile

The feature I like best is the full capability of CI/CD, where the code can be integrated and deployed smoothly.

Nachteile

It has streamlined my workflow since code management, version control, and even the CI/CD pipelines can all be found on a single platform, GitLab.

Vorteile

Nous utilisons Gitlab pour stocker notre code source, comme plateforme d'intégration et de déploiement continue.

Nachteile

L'outil est très complet et simple si l'on utilise la version SAAS. En revanche, l'installation de la version on-premise (haute disponibilité, gestion de la sécurité, backups...) ainsi que sa maintenance s'avèrent beaucoup plus complexe.
