Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."How you write your user stories, and the requirements gathering, in Agile Manager is pretty good."
"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"It's user friendly. We haven't had any issues so far. It's flexible. If we need something, we can always contact the owner in our headquarters to make a configuration."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"The interface is good with TFS."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is integration."
"The testing module that we are used to, that wasn't there at all."
"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 the TFS was an on-prem solution, the private network accessibility was restricted."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
"They should have design patterns in TFS for the development team, and design patterns for the QA."
"The test management interface is not very handy."
"Overall, I think it would be useful to have something similar where Microsoft comes up with supporting concepts of scaling Agile in TFS so that clients don't have to look for a separate tool."
"The solution should have better dashboards."
"I'd like to see some kind of visualization tool for TFS that would make life much easier."
