I liked Gitlab when I ran it for myself for a while. It was great; couldn't knock it in anyway except for (at the time) setup instructions that weren't detailed/accurate enough to rely upon, especially regarding the main dependency gitorious. The big sell for this is simple, or even trivial, setup.
I was just a single user so most of the functionality was a loss, so I transferred to bitbucket (free private repos) knowing full well the potential risks. It saved me the effort of keeping my own server up to date and secure (I'm not the pro, I can trust github or bitbucket to know and do better) at the cost of no longer being self sufficient.
That said, I'd recommend this for any organisation that wants its own github, doesn't want to pay enterprise money, and doesn't mind doing all the hard work itself. And that's not faint praise, because it was fucking good when I did use it (while it was mid-Twitter Bootstrap conversion).
