"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"The tool's installation is straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"Basically, the capacity to construct various products is something I find handy."

"The pricing should be more competitive."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
"In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need."
"There are many things that I cannot do, and I have a lot of bugs."
"Microsoft should discontinue the use of SharePoint as I don’t really see any value add to TFS, document management features can be included in TFS web portal itself, if required!"
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"One of the areas that could be improved is to have an effective full lifecycle management."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
"They have room for improvement in merging the source code changes for multiple developers across files. 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."
"The usability of TFS is not that great."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
