153 GitLab Testimonials

“GitLab has been great for us. It is a good kind of a software that we love.”

“If a certain feature is not available, the ability to have a discussion with GitLab in the open and to put it on a road map so we can tell a customer that you can start using the existing platform and the features and functionality and within three months we will offer this specific feature to acknowledge your need. There is no other single product in the industry that does that.”

"When we adopted GitLab, we went all in, because it simplified a lot of the day-to-day maintenance. We don't have a lot of time to deal with the platform where we're storing our code,” Hernandez said. “It frees us up to do things that are either internal to the engineering team or to focus on customer interactions."

“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.”
