2 biggest downsides to GitLab: 1) It's a resource hog. Big time. 2) It's incredibly hard to set up. The installation instructions and the development instructions are essentially the same. Key point, an end user should never have to `bundle install`, ever .
If you prefer python, Rhodecode is free for up to 20 users https://rhodecode.com/features
looks like its quite feature rich - federation, verdict integration, plugins, active directory integration, etc and doesn't look like a github clone.

I've had to compare the two. At the current state, Stash is better than GitLab in almost all ways. Better UI, more features and other small things that make a big difference (e.g. repo sync). GitLab, on the other hand, has two advantages over Stash. Firstly it's open source (+free). Secondly and most importantly, GitLab is under active development and there is a new release with reasonable amount of content every mon…
I was trying out GitLab EE and ran into some install issues on RHEL5 (which were solvable - http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/tech-blog/general/installing... ). However even after a couple days I was unable to get the LDAP integration and LDAP group permissions to work correctly. GitLab support wasn't able to solve it for me, so I tried Stash. 30 minutes later, up and running the way I wanted it.

IMHO GitLab is easy to set up compared to something like Postfix. Making a GitLab server do what it's supposed to do is straightforward. You just follow all the steps. Making Postfix work as a proper mail server is kinda a mess.

Agreed on both counts - I blame Ruby. We enjoy using it, but to new users I would recommend looking into gitbucket https://github.com/takezoe/gitbucket written in scala and no install necessary!
