130 GitLab Testimonials

“It's easier now that we have GitLab, which increases our security posture and quality.”

“I think our use case is quite interesting at ESA. Our team develops software, and we are also flying spacecraft. So developing software is in addition to our main activity. There are a lot of tools that we require to support us in our actual job. In that sense, we want to minimize the time that we spend to build these tools. Furthermore, GitLab has also shown that it is very effective in sharing our tools with other teams.”

“Everybody wants to work with exciting new technologies, but clients want working applications delivered on time."

“GitLab met our requirements and gave us the best value for the price. The feature set with GitLab on-premise was more advanced than GitHub and we saw the pace and development [of GitLab] moving faster with a community that was active in delivering and contributing.”

“Before we had our build pipeline running with Jenkins So, we have a develop, release, and master branch, which is finally released to the public. Every time you build a branch of those three, the outcome would have been installs on several VMs and then our test automation started in a separate process. At the end of the process you got an email that it worked, it didn’t work, where it failed, and stuff like that.”

“A lot of people used Git at the company and just knew that it was faster, better, and what everybody else is using nowadays. It’s also harder now to train somebody to use Mercurial because Git is so prevalent. So, when you hire a developer, they probably know Git but they may not know Mercurial.”

“Essentially, we look at GitLab as a building block, and we just build whatever we need on top of it. Whether it's a wiki or a custom integration, GitLab helps create an engineering culture.”

"GitLab takes the culture of the community and brings it to where you can actually codify how humans can interact together well. That’s difficult to capture, and I think GitLab does a really excellent job of not forcing people but really encouraging a collaborative beneficial work environment."

“When someone makes a commit on a CoreDNS repo and they want to do a deployment, we need to be able to pin a specific environment with exactly which type of cluster CoreDNS is going to be deployed to. The environment specific variables allows us to go out and do that.”

“It’s good to make this transition in terms of our image because it shows the community that we are providing cutting-edge technology.”

"Moving into a system like GitLab will help any organization or enterprise to get into DevOps methodology and continuously improve the deployment workflows to achieve quality, agility, and self-serviceability."

"Over the past two years, GitLab has been transformational for our organization here at UW. Your platform is fantastic."

"We had more than 2,000 projects in a few months, a very fast adoption rate compared to our other code hosting platforms.”

“The integration fluidly transfers Bugsee data into a GitLab issue so that everything that is ever needed to diagnose a crash is given directly to an engineer.”

“Gerrit would always have, essentially, just one single commit at a time that was being amended on each change. That worked great for dinosaurs like myself who like a pristine linear commit history where each commit pushed is fully functional. An equally valid option championed by those who cut their teeth on the GitHub model is to iterate and push multiple commits together, dead-ends and all, via a single merge request.”
