I posted before[0] about why I moved to gitlab; I'm using a self-hosted instance and the only real complaint I have is resource consumption. But if you bite the bullet a bit it's a really great product.

The other thing would be "ease of deployment" or lack thereof- if you're going for anything other than omnibus installs or docker images then it can be a bit painful. (I wanted to run on freebsd for example).

But, yes, it's super nice to have something not only comparable to github but even superior in some areas. I would definitely run the enterprise edition if that were my decision at work.
