130 GitLab Testimonials

“The backend for frontend services can now be built and deployed in a very simple way by the app developers. That was not possible with Bamboo. Merge requests also improved code quality and allowed for better collaboration. There are no more hurdles because of the CI interface. The app team is very satisfied with GitLab.”

“GitLab from my perspective was vastly outpacing the competition in terms of feature releases. GitLab was later to the SCM game in comparison to GitHub or BitBucket, for instance, but with the rate of features being released it was very clear that you guys were gaining so much ground compared to the competition."

“GitLab has made group work easier it was a crucial tool in multiple group work projects. Really helped with coordinating development."

"One of the engineers spun up their own GitLab instance on their workstation. They migrated some repositories over and worked in parallel between the systems, doing all the code review in GitLab on the sly."

“We decided to use an Open Source based platform so we can participate in the development and contribute to the features and concepts we need such as file size statistics, OpenID Connect, GPG, and Docker Registry. GitLab's built-in Continuous Integration and independent CI Runners allows our developers to integrate very specific environments, boosting productivity and increasing developer satisfaction.”

"The source code is clean and easy to read."

“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.”

“To see people collaborating is contagious. People are saying, ‘Hey, I want to have a project like that!’ or ‘I want to participate.’ These kinds of things can happen because everybody has access."

“GitLab is the backbone of our development environment. Today we have 2,500 people working on that for us daily."

“Our build was just red. Like all the time red. Because the feedback loop was so long and the velocity at which people were trying to get stuff merged in was so high, that they basically ignored the build."

“GitLab has allowed us to dramatically increase the velocity of development in our Engineering Division. We believe GitLab’s dedication to helping enterprises rapidly and effectively bring software to market will help other companies achieve the same sort of efficiencies we have seen inside Goldman Sachs. We now see some teams running and merging 1000+ CI feature branch builds a day.”

“We’re bringing into the firm a platform that our engineers actually want to use – which helps drive adoption across multiple teams and increase productivity without having to ‘force’ anyone to adopt it. This is really helping to create an ecosystem where our end users are actively helping us drive towards our strategic goals - more releases, better controls, better software.”

“We renewed the complete process. We didn't just take what was in Jenkins and move to GitLab, we redid everything. We took all of the findings we had from Jenkins, which wasn’t good, and we took what was good and we set it up completely new. We reinvented the wheel, just to make it better.”

“Now it's so easy to deploy something and roll it back if there's an issue. It's taken the stress and the fear out of deploying into production."

“We had developers that thought, Why would we do something else? Jenkins is fine. But I think those people need to see GitLab first and see what the difference is because GitLab is so much more than Jenkins. The power of GitLab is you can do so much more and you can make everything so much easier to manage.”
