Cons
"They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options.""It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."

More Inflectra SpiraTeam Cons →

"I would like to see a bit more project tracking.""I want DevOps to have more automated reminders about tasks that don't need management. We don't have reminders, so a project manager must track the tasks. It's not automatic.""There are certain features, and reporting that can only be used in PowerBI, but not directly in DevOps.""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.""I have not been able to use the integration with automation features, such as test management automation, with a framework that is written in Java.""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.""When we don't have some permissions, we have to research how to get them.""Incorporating security tools directly into DevOps is crucial, as many existing DevOps solutions lack robust security features."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Microsoft Azure DevOps stands out among its competitors for a variety of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to forecast how long each task will take and the ability for users to follow the entire development process.

    PeerSpot viewers note the effectiveness of this solution. An executive chief operating officer for a cloud provider notes, “We can forecast tasks and the number of hours a task will take and can compare it with how long a task actually takes.” 

    Carlos H., a product and system director at SPCM, writes, “I think the most usable thing is that you can follow the whole progress of the development process. This makes it very useful for us.”
