Free and open source
GitLab is a free and open source project licensed under MIT. Source code for Enterprise Edition can be found here and Community Edition here.

Con
Not lightweight
GitLab is demanding, Gitea is a much more lightweight solution which uses less CPU and memory.
See More
Top
Pro
At feature parity with GitHub
Gitlab is very close to Github in use and feel, written in Ruby on Rails, open source and hosted on Github as well as on GitLab.com

Con
The upgrade process fails more often than not
Even for minor versions such as 9.2.0 to 9.3.0. Sometimes the upgrade failure is silent and only seen when logging in first time after update and an http 502 error is given.

Easy to install with the packages
With the packages available here, GitLab can be installed in two minutes.
See More
Top
Con
Requires at least 1GB of RAM
The default installation is meant for already many users and recommends 2GB of RAM. 1GB is possible but results in some HTTP 500 errors. On a Raspberry Pi 2 it runs fine most of the time, though it eats 75% of the RAM. Another option is to reduce unicorn['worker_processes'] in gitlab.rb.

Pro
Support for protected branches
A protected master branch means that no code can be merged to master without passing a code review by an authorised developer. With GitLab this comes out of the box.

Pro
Good web UI
GitLab's UI is clean and intuitive. Each view is designed to not fill the screen with useless information. It displays the activity in a feed-type way in the most prominent part of the view. On top of that, there's a toolbar with buttons which can filter this feed by pushes, merge events or comments. On the left, there's a menu that displays all the links that take you to the different views. For example, a file directory which displays all the files in that repo, a commit view which displays all the commits in cronological order, a network and a graph view that display important information graphically etc... All these details make GitLab's UI extremely intuitive and easy to use, no view is overflown with information and every view displays only the most useful and crucial information needed at that time.

Repositories are grouped by project
In services such as Gitlab and GitHub repositories are not grouped by default. When doing other than open source software development, however, Deveo generally has at least backend and front-end in separate repositories that both connect to the same project. In Deveo, repositories always belong to a project and share the same Wiki and Issue tracking space, which makes it easier to find the project specific information.

WebDAV repository support
In addition to Git, Subversion and Mercurial repositories, you can host WebDAV based binary repositories in Deveo. WebDAV is a technology that allows you to set up private dropbox type repositories where you can simply drag-and-drop files through OSX finder for example. It's a convenient way to store binary packages, project documentation, specifications and more.

Scalability and high-availability
Deveo can be set up in three different modes: combo, where you have everything on one server, high-availability, where you have separated database server, and cluster, where you have multiple web nodes serving the load. The cluster setup has been field-tested with thousands of concurrent users.

Better issue tracking than GitHub, Gitlab or Bitbucket
Issue tracking in Deveo is better compared to GitHub, Bitbucket or Gitlab. In Deveo you can define arbitrary states for issues, meaning you can model your team's workflow as it is in real life. In addition to arbitrary states for issues, you have free control over priorities and labels that enhance the experience.

Pro
Powerful and flexible code review
Code reviews can be done via Pull Requests, or simply commit-by-commit. There are voting rules, random reviewers pools, and smart comment invalidation logic. Pull requests are also versioned so it's easy to review partial changes after the author has updated his code. When you create a Pull-request you can add set of reviewers. They all have to vote and approve the PR. There's some flexibility on how the voting is accepted, it can be majority wins, or all-agree. Good practice is to add BOT accounts like jenkins, that also will vote on the review, based on for example tests run, and can forbid a merge because of a negative vote. In addition users can leave special type of comments that will also prevent merges, aka TODO notes. Once TODOs are resolved a Pull Request can be merged.

It doesn't support Gists
Gists are a way to share code files, documents or discussions without needing a full git repo. Stash unfortunately has no equivalent. There is a payed plugin which can fill some of that void but it still does not compensate for the power of Gist.

Inaccurate installation instructions made for a painful and failed installation
Inaccurate installation instructions which did not reflect what was displayed on the screen, despite following the instructions step by step. Is it really so difficult for developers to test their own instructions against a fresh server to see if they work? Two hours down the drain before moving on to another product... Not as advertised :(

Nice and usable UI
GitHub's UI is clean and intuitive. Each view is designed to not fill the screen with useless information. For example, the repository view displays only the most crucial data about that repo - on the top it displays the number of commits, branches, releases and contributors. When clicked, each of them will take the user to a page that displays more detailed information.

Nice material design
The design is minimalistic and based on today's standarts on material design. It uses colors which are pleasing to the eye and displays the information in an ordered way. The main view shows the latest activity sorted in a chronological order, displaying commits and pushes. Every repo has it's own view, on the top there's the repo's name and a dropdown which displays the current branch with the ability to change to another branch or to create a new one. On the right there's a vertical menu with links to add a new file, show the history or to download the current repository.
