"The solution has good reporting and is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard where we can see all of our projects and apply filters to shortlist those projects."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The product is easy to use and very stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it brings order to our projects, and we know the status of each one at every moment."
"My team likes the integration that Microsoft Azure DevOps has with GitHub and Microsoft Teams. The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft tools in one place, it is very good."
"Monitoring is most valuable."
"It's very user-friendly, and the documentation is good. The most valuable feature is backlog item creation, where we pick features and other things. The burndown chart created for projects to be maintained by the development teams is also useful."
"The pricing seems to be reasonable."
"What I like the most is the DevOps Boards. It's easy to create a hierarchical project structure, assign tasks to people, and to track their tasks."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"I think that front-end development is a little bit buggy in some cases. Some of the features take a while to respond and some need to be more clear."
"The product could do with more flexible reporting."
"If I get a feature but there is not a user story, and I want to know which epic it belongs to, it is really hard to figure out."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"The UI, the user experience, is challenging for newcomers."
"I would like to see DevOps have the ability to give us something with a compatibility or traceability matrix."
"Azure DevOps is set up more for development and less for testing. If it is set up correctly, everyone can use it better, but it was set up from a development point of view, which means it is lacking in what I need from a testing perspective. Just like any other tool, it depends on how it is configured. I am not happy with the way it is set up. It is configured more from a development side, and it doesn't necessarily cater to all the other areas that probably need to use it, such as testing data, etc."
"The testing environment and different pipelining concepts can be improved."
"The communication could work better, especially for the development team."
"The solution should have fewer updates."
"Reporting across multiple projects could be improved."
"If they could build up requirement traceability metrics, then it would be great."
