Explanation:
(from Cambridge International Dictionary of English)
All in all (=Considering everything), I think you've done very well.

(from the Merriam-Webster)
- all in all : on the whole : GENERALLY <all in all, things might have been worse>

(from Vox)
all in all, en conjunto.

HTH!

BUT!

Vox:
con todo, in spite of everything.

Así que los colegas que ofrecieron sinónimos de \"in spite of\" tienen razón.

Por lo que ves, depende mucho del contexto.
Tendrías que darnos la frase completa.
