"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is very user-friendly."
"TFS’s test management capability without the expensive licensing has large gaps. Users will be unable to access performance testing and coded UI testing capabilities."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"The most valuable feature is integration, particularly if you have a .NET application."
"Work item management integration with source control."
"TFS is very user-friendly."

It is very good at highlighting the changes that the source code automatically does not know how to handle, but it's not very good at reporting the ones that it did automatically. There are times when we have source code that gets merged, and we lose the changes that we expected to happen. It can get a little confusing at times. They can just do a little bit better on the merging of changes for multiple developers."
"There are many things that I cannot do, and I have a lot of bugs."
"I would also like a true command prompt like Git."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
