153 GitLab Testimonials

"We applaud GitLab for dropping their CLA in favor of a more OSS-friendly approach. Open source communities are born from a sea of contributions that come together and transform into projects. This gesture affirmed GitLab's willingness to protect the individual, their creative process, and most importantly, keeps intellectual property in the hands of the creator."

"We have one tool with a global overview over the projects. We can easily see everything."

“With our old code testing tool, we had to provision to our maximum. So if we ever needed to run 50 concurrent tests, we were forced to pay for 50 all day, every day. Our cost was approximately $50 per concurrent test per month for 50 concurrent tests, even though outside of our core business hours the tests were rarely needed to that magnitude."

"When I heard about GitLab Self-Managed, it was a very clear choice. It was really only GitLab that fulfilled the requirements I had within the engineering project management courses. That and GitLab being one single product."

“My experience at another institution running the full Atlassian Stack was that the administration overhead was too high, and the tools were overkill for the size and scope of the work we were doing."

"For a software engineer, everything is there, so the developers feel more empowered. All their work information is in one overview."

"Before we moved to GitLab there was a big burden on operation teams. It was a battle to enable developers to effectively do their jobs. The obvious choice was to have everything in one place and well-contained through a single pane of glass."

"With GitLab, it’s not just a set of tools, it’s also the culture of the company. If there is an incident, we receive answers in a very transparent way. That’s important for our culture here, too. We are dealing with gaming players. If players feel you are not transparent, they run away. Trust is key."

"GitLab is easy to use. Our system engineers onboarded very fast. You don’t have to explain every feature. It is very intuitive."

“If one team wants to look at what the other team is doing or wants to reuse some Ansible playbooks or some code snippets or anything, this is the central point of collecting these things. It’s also where they can develop and improve code."

"We have two big things thanks to GitLab. First, on the management and company side, we really had some nice economic results with GitLab. And on the development side and operational side, GitLab facilitates the team to really help bring the agile mindset to the company."

"GitLab is really helping us in our very modern architecture, because you're supporting Kubernetes, you're supporting serverless, and you are supporting cool security stuff, like DAST and SAST. GitLab is enabling us to have a really cutting edge architecture."

"GitLab helps us overcome the problems we had and it allows us to enforce our processes and prevent developers from making mistakes in a very gentle way."

“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 has played an instrumental role in preparing students for professional practice, especially in terms of learning about source control, builds and best practices in agile development."
