Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
"I like the Kanban board. It is very useful in terms of seeing who is working on what and what the current status of work is."
"I have found almost all of the features valuable because it integrates well with your Microsoft products. If a client is using the entire Microsoft platform, then TFS would be definitely preferable. It integrates with the digital studio development environment as well."
"Since it is a robust solution, I face no performance issues. Also, considering how well the implementation process of the solution was carried out, we never faced any issues while using the solution."
"Work item management integration with source control."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"It is easy to push our changes from quality to pre-prod and prod."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"TFS on-premise does not support integration with SharePoint Online."
"Merging branches is definitely one of the more challenging aspects for people new to TFS."
"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."
"I would like to see the reporting features expanded so that I can see details on the users connected to all of the projects."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"Currently, we are looking for a solution with which we can incorporate third-party development sites or third-party project teams into the system. Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system. A cloud-based solution would be better for us, and that's what we are looking for. Our biggest problem is the external connection, which, of course, is limited by our own IT. It would be good to have some kind of publishing service for this external connection. It might be there, and it might be that our IT is making it impossible for us. Its template editor could be easier to use. Currently, customizing the project templates according to your needs requires some work."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
