## Overview
So, we've been using GitLab for our development projects and it's been pretty awesome so far. We'd definitely recommend it to other teams and organizations who want a reliable and efficient platform.
## Pros
GitLab has loads of integrations and plugins that extend its functionalities. It's perfect for teams, and its CI/CD capabilities streamline the development process and ensure efficient collaboration. We even linked it with Trello for scrum.
## Cons
Honestly, I can't think of any! Maybe GitLab and its interface can be a bit overwhelming for beginners who don't need all its features. But hey, this is a professional tool, it's not supposed to be newbie-friendly. Anyway, our team has no problem with that.
## Reasons for Choosing GitLab
It provides all the tools you could possibly need for software development and collaborative workflows.
## Reasons for Switching to GitLab
Before GitLab, we used other version control platforms. GitLab is just like the others, but more functionality-rich. We now use only GitLab to do things that we used to do using several tools, like source control, continuous integration, deployment, monitoring, real-time communication, wiki function, error and bug tracking, and what not.
