Everything you need for development
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive, end-to-end coverage of the entire software development process. There's no need to worry about cobbling together a bunch of disparate projects and maintain the glue that holds everything together. GitLab gives back to the open source community by offering free GitLab Enterprise licenses to open source software developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
GitLab's documentation is comprehensive but not always intuitive. For a project of this magnitude, it should focus on including more training instructions in addition to the reference documentation to show real-world examples of how people can use it.
The company behind GitLab has made some questionable decisions, although it has recovered well for them. For instance, most recently, they decided to embed a whole lot of telemetry in GitLab. They backpedaled after a day when the community erupted in protest. I'm glad they listened, but I have to think: what were they thinking?
There are so many services that spy on users these days that having a trustworthy reputation is priceless. That reputation has been tarnished.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The software developers I know use a workflow comprised of individual products stitched together. The time maintaining that is time that could be better spent doing what developers do best: developing. When I had an opportunity to recommend a product for my department's workflow, I chose GitLab, and I haven't been disappointed.
It isn't hard to see why GitLab is so popular; it has more or less everything you need. Some of its components aren't quite as strong as competitors, but nothing touches the sheer amount of stuff it packs into each release. The developers seem genuinely interested in DevOps and supporting the open source community.
Like, after Microsoft bought GitHub, some open source developers who were opposed to using Microsoft products (bravo!) wanted to migrate their projects to an alternative. GitLab transitioned their hosted offering way from Azure and offered free GitLab Gold licenses to educational institutions and open source developers. I gained a great deal of respect for GitLab through that. (Yes, I'm one of *those people* who doesn't trust Microsoft's apparent change of heart on open source.)
GitLab has helped me master Git, CI/CD pipelines, and software development in general through the many resources it offers. I don't have to spend time learning so many separate services and figuring out how everything fits together. I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a great tool for their development activities.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a little expensive, especially when you consider that a lot of component services may be free, but don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish - there's a lot of value for having everything under one roof.

version control and continues integration
Best git repository and pipelines admin

Sometimes it goes down without a notice and you feel helpless until it is fixed. That can halt your development process and is not good.

GitLab for group work
What do you like best about the product?
It is a well-known and intuitive repository, used in various parts of the world for educational and work purposes. The best attributes are the group participation in a project where there are tools that allow resolving conflicts between different codes, you can also observe the activity of other members and revert to previous versions of the project at any time. Additionally, the software provides a summary of all commits and activity in the project, which is useful for a general evaluation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The conflicts caused between users of a project are not so easy to resolve, often the poor resolution of them results in the loss of work for one of the members.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my case, the use is for studying to learn programming and to work on increasingly larger projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The main thing is to learn how to use it, it is a very practical and useful tool. Be careful with merges to avoid causing conflicts.
Gitlab - just as good, and open source.
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab is great. It is just as robust and full of features as github, while being open-source.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike! If you're very familiar with github, you'll have a tiny learning curve trying to find a few things that are in different places or that have different names, but other than that, the experience is identical.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as a code repository for projects. It's great, it works, and it's open source.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about what you need and whether you're willing to be your own support.
