Find out in this report how the two Release Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can track everything from the requirements stage to the production stage."
"Most developers and project managers choose the Microsoft tools to begin with because of familiarity, and these new tools are almost an extension of the tools you're already familiar with. There's a lot of knowledge transfer, which helps, rather than bringing in a new product line."
"It is a cloud-based system. So, it is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the complete integration between test cases, pipelines, and issue management."
"The available Kanban board is the best feature for management decisions."
"What I like most about Azure DevOps is how easy it is to manage projects and control deployments."
"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."
"Valuable features for project management and tracking in Azure DevOps include a portal displaying test results, check-in/check-out activity, and developer/tester productivity."
"The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."
"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"The solution could work to improve their reporting."
"Requirements management is an area that can be improved."
"It should be easier to manage Licenses especially because it's in the cloud."
"The solution can be improved by having better integration with other cloud platforms."
"In comparison to JIRA, I believe DevOps has very poor reporting and metrics support."
"With Microsoft, I would prefer to have more test plans. It's very difficult to find individual test plan module training."
"While reporting in Azure DevOps is a robust capability, there's always room for enhancement, particularly in providing more granular reports."
"The user interface could be improved."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
