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."The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"It is a stable solution."
"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"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."
"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."
"The extensibility of the work item forms and customizations as well as the backend API to query the data, et cetera, and manipulate the data programmatically are all very valuable aspects of the product."
"Our technical sales staff and business development people need to know how far the developers are on any product that we're developing. DevOps makes it easier for you to see how far along they are with the work because they have a repository where they store everything. There is a portal where you can see what has been done, what has been tested, what is working, and what isn't. I have a huge dashboard with an overview of what the development team is doing from an executive point of view."
"My team likes the integration that Microsoft Azure DevOps has with GitHub and Microsoft Teams. The solution is well integrated with other Microsoft tools in one place, it is very good."
"What I like the most about this product is that it's free and it's secure."
"The features of Azure Repos that we find most impactful are those related to source control management within our DevOps code management processes."
"The most valuable feature is automation with version control."
"The automated bill feature is most valuable. As with most software developers, I can build code on my machine, but if one of my coworkers can't build the same code on theirs, there are always issues in trying to track it down. The automated bill process makes it a lot easier to track down where the issues are and find out what bugs aren't being included for whatever reason."
"Azure DevOps' collaborative features are good, and it integrates well with other tools in the software development process, like quality testing, documentation, and agile development."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"Usability needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"The ability to extend work items was more flexible than it is now. Talking version control, one of our customers had some issues because they found it very difficult to manage more than 1000 repositories for one team project."
"The solution is generally stable but not entirely issue-free."
"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."
"The portfolio is one area where DevOps has room for improvement. Built-in reporting and visualization also could be better. We're using Power BI and Tableau to compile more complex reports and dashboards. Azure DevOps has some out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, but they're very simple. It's usually okay on the team level, but if you have to run a complex report, it's difficult and insufficient, so we use Power BI as an extension."
"When you compare with Jira, there is a lack of progress features."
"When comparing with Jira, I find that the task management capabilities in Azure DevOps are not yet fully comprehensive and should be enhanced."
"If they could build up requirement traceability metrics, then it would be great."
"In comparison to JIRA, I believe DevOps has very poor reporting and metrics support."
