Exactly my feelings about Phabricator. GitLab simply runs circles around it if you consider the issue tracking, CI etc. as part of the problem.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI would've loved to have Gitlab at our company, but unfortunately we're on a tight budget so they didn't want to go for anything paid.
- JeremyNT 6y agoGitlab CE would be perfect, then, since it's free. If you're on a tight budget it actually seems like one of the best options available.
- paulryanrogers 6y agoTried self hosting once and it was challenging just to get setup. That said their free hosted solution is feature such enough for most of my projects.
- djeiasbsbo 6y agoI self host it at home. Haven't had problems but probably only because of how small my instance is (10 people). The omnibus installer makes it relatively simple to maintain!
- wheaties 6y agoWe moved from Phabricator to JIRA, Github and CircleCI. We couldn't be happier. It's one thing to have a single tool with 70% of the functionality you need, it's another to have 90%+. That 20% makes such a huge gulf it's not even funny. We were able to ditch several thousands of lines of cobbled together glue that moved us 10% forward but added overhead for any new project which set us back a week or more.
