Offers integration with multiple vendors and Is easier to setup. > > **Cons**: Setting up the pipeline is a bit tedious task. The concept of gitlab runners and improving the performance is bit long ----- ### "A steep learning curve, especially for a novice coder." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 August 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used this software as a coding novice whilst completing my studies. It was really easy to see what I had done wrong and get feedback which helped me to progress quickly. > > **Cons**: I found it difficult to get the hang of, which whilst also trying to learn to code was a big learning curve\! > > GitLab was really helpful as I completed my studies and learned to code. If my role continued requiring me to code I would probably continue to use it and I'm sure get more proficient. That said, I could potentially be priced out of this "nice to have" (for me) tool. ----- ### "GitLab (Highly recommend)" — 5.0/5 > **Ross** | *26 November 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think the software is one of the best for what the do. I also believe that in terms of value for money you will struggle to find a better coding software out there. > > **Cons**: Although the software has numerous pros one drawback I believe is its ease of use. I took me quite a while to actually get the hang of it however on the plus side there have great help resources ----- ### "One stop shop for Devops and team collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 January 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a all in one tool for DevOps. It's version control and issue tracking make it a powerful tool for active collaboration between all the different team members. > > **Cons**: Slower performance with big repos having complex pipelines. The learning curve for the beginners could be bit challenging. > > It is a powerful tool for Devops and provides seamless collaboration for team members and across the teams with its amazing version control capabilities. ----- ### "Good product, average support" — 3.0/5 > **Ben** | *24 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having still used GitLab for over a few years now, we have found it to still be very useful for our development and storage purposes. The price is a little more acceptable now that competitors have also increased their price. > > **Cons**: The support we needed for some bugs with incorrectly notified false-positives and other issues were not quickly resolved and left our development team twiddling their fingers. > > We still use GitLab to this date and have nothing to fault, as long as nothing goes wrong during this time. ----- Page: 1 / 50\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/159806/gitlab?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/159806/gitlab) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
