We performed a comparison between Codebeamer and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"CodeBeamer provides full traceability, excellent collaboration, regulatory compliance, and instant reporting with its holistic approach from requirement management to testing."
"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"The platform provided the flexibility to expand our business processes, accommodating or altering them to suit the requirements of a changing environment."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"It is a stable solution."
"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"I like the cloud infrastructure of Microsoft Azure DevOps."
"Stable and scalable solution for work planning and code collaboration. It's fast, and it offers a good user experience."
"They have been lately adding features to the services on a regular basis. Every two weeks, they are adding functionality to Azure DevOps Services to match it with what Azure DevOps Server or on-prem would offer. So, we continue to get more robust functionality. My favorite right now is that they are starting to open up the API availability within Azure DevOps Services. Another thing that I like about Azure DevOps is that you can use it with any of the products that are on the market. You can integrate it with Jenkins and other open-source products to complete that fully functional CI, CD, CT, CM, and CS pipeline. It continues to enhance."
"Azure Pipeline and Azure Release are most valuable. I use Azure DevOps through pipeline and release."
"I like the entire tool because it is a one-stop-solution for DevOps."
"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."
"The installation is straightforward. We can create a whole new organization in less than a day."
"Everything that's related to the pipeline has been very good."
"The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."
"The documentation isn't straightforward."
"One thing I would note is that it's hard to know what is included or not in the product. Especially when you begin to try and compare it to other solutions. When you go to a site like VersionOne, they tell you Azure DevOps doesn't have this or that, and when you go to Microsoft, it says VersionOne doesn't have this or that. They could do a better job of laying out exactly what is on offer so customers know going in exactly what they'll get."
"We are facing some problems because the capacity can only be measured within a project. It cannot be measured across multiple projects. So, the reporting needs to be enhanced, and there should be more graphs to be able to easily give the upper management insights about all the employees from different departments. It will be helpful for employee management. Currently, the managers over here are using Power BI for insights because the functionality of Azure DevOps Boards is not enough. So, we have to export the data into another visualization tool and get the results."
"There is room for improvement on the UI side, especially with merge requests. If we compare Azure DevOps to GitLab when it comes to branches and PRs (pull requests), GitLab has a better interface."
"The ability to integrate Microsoft Azure DevOps with other platforms and Microsoft products can be improved."
"Its testing features are limited and can be improved a little more. They should provide more options from the testing and build perspective. Currently, we have to use a third-party product for testing. It would be great if it has more than one testing tool."
"As for room for improvement, more features need to be added to the classic pipeline. The build and release pipelines are present, but there has not been much improvement there."
"It's too technical sometimes because it's meant for network developers. The CI/CD pipelines are not very easy to manage because it requires a lot of input. So it could be easier to manage."
