What made you pick Gitlab over Bitbucket? Both can be self-hosted, but I'm not sure yet which one to choose myself. We do use Jira/Confluence internally so we might want to stick within that ecosystem but I hear very good things about Gitlab. I believe both integrate well with Jira as well and support smartcommits. What were the advantages for you?

Great to hear you're already using JIRA and Confluence. Adding Bitbucket to the mix will give you access to a bunch of great integration features.

We've been working on making it easier for the entire development team to collaborate and give them the right information at the right time. Here is a selection of features that I think you will find useful:

JIRA's Release Hub, to let you know if you're ready to release or not: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2015/04/jira-6-4-release-confiden...

The development panel, to turn every issue into a dashboard for it's development work: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2014/03/visualize-development-jir...

Automated issue transitioning, because it's easy to forget to move that issue to "In Review": http://blogs.atlassian.com/2014/08/jira-6-3-untangle-develop...

Hope this helps. For a good overview, you can also take a look at the documentation that outlines the above integrations: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BitbucketServer/JIR...

I've been using GitLab for almost a year and I love it. I tried BitBucket and found it confusing and counterintuitive—the UI is crowded, as is the UI for JIRA and Confluence. (Don't forget that GitLab replaces Bitbucket and JIRA and Confluence, and actually does even more than that.) https://about.gitlab.com/comparison/#gitlab-ceee-vs-bitbucke...

Just wanted to mention that GitLab CE/EE have support for using JIRA http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/project_services/jira.html
