"Stable and scalable solution for work planning and code collaboration. It's fast, and it offers a good user experience."
"Azure Pipeline and Azure Release are most valuable. I use Azure DevOps through pipeline and release."
"The solution is good for everything, including end-to-end planning and its deployment and testing."
"We can track everything from the requirements stage to the production stage."
"The installation is straightforward. We can create a whole new organization in less than a day."
"The most valuable feature in automating our build and release processes with Azure DevOps is the scheduling capability."
"Some of the most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to monitor a lot of things. It has a lot of applications and facilities that meet all the developers' requirements. For example, we can use application insights to get an idea of our application's performance. Since it's cloud-based, it's really good for collaboration and working as a team."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure DevOps are high-level protection. The protection is very important to the customers to prevent eavesdropping. eavesdropping is when a hacker tries to get into the solution. With this solution is it difficult for them to do it."
"This solution is open and very easy to integrate. The interface is good too."
"It has a good response time."
"I love to use this solution with single projects. It has helped our productivity. With the metrics that I receive, I can put them onto the management model so I can see them there. It has reduced our time for project management and controls by 20 percent."
"It has a brand new look and feel. It comes with a new dashboard that looks nice, and you can see exactly what you have been working with."
"Integration with other HPE products."
"Easily integrates with Oracle e-Business Suite."
"Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Lab Management is a valuable feature, because you have a 360 view."
"Its setup is quite complex."
"The dashboards need bigger with better extensions and layouts. There isn't a workflow related to the statuses on the dashboard. It only lists the statuses. You can have one started, and once done, but everything in between is only in progress and could be in any order you want, it lacks flow."
"Improving the metrics that are readily available on the dashboard would be very helpful."
"Not all companies use the same methodology which could limit the use of this solution."
"Proper Gantt charting should be a feature that is included because as it is now, we have to create it ourselves."
"I would like to see better integration and collaboration between tools."
"The main issue that I have is the connection speed. Sometimes, the response is too slow. I am based in Taiwan, and I am not sure if it is because of broadband or something else. Its initial configuration is also a little bit difficult."
"The test management section needs to be improved."
"ALM Quality Center could be improved with more techniques to manage Agile processes."
"The session timeout time needs to be longer in my opinion."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center could improve its marketing. For example, Tricentis is much better at letting the market know about new solutions and updates. The migration of the tool could improve, but it can be difficult."
"Micro Focus is an expensive tool."
"Client-side ActiveX with patch upgrades"
"The QA needs improvement."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"I'd like to be able to improve how our QA department uses the tool, by getting better educational resources, documentation to help with competencies for my testers."
