"It can support both web applications and mobile applications, and in certain cases, it can also support testing of desktop applications or software-based applications. You can write web applications, mobile applications, and software-based applications."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use."
"TFS is very user-friendly."
"From the project management perspective, the tool is efficiently managing teams by giving management information, such as reports, graphs, velocity, capacity, etc."
"I like the build management features and the integration with Jenkins and many other tools."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"Good branching and labelling features."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."
"Customization is the most powerful feature of this product."
"The most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR."

"The most valuable features are tools like IntelliSense and ReSharper."
"The documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"The solution is not easily scalable. If you want to extend the solution, you need to purchase a different kind of license. You also have to work with the IBM team to assist in scaling."
"There are some features that Micro Focus LoadRunner provides, but they are not available in IBM Rational Performance Tester. They should include such features. It can also have more reports similar to what HP provides. It might also need some improvement in terms of the tools and support for other technology areas. Certain technologies are not supported by every tool. They need to support all sorts of technologies and platforms on which web applications and mobile applications are built. They need complete support for all sorts of technologies."
"It would be better if we could bring it out on the cloud."
"The manageability and performance of the product are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
"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 tool needs improvement in stability."
"One of the areas that could be improved is to have an effective full lifecycle management."
"The reporting functionality is something that they should work on."
"The dashboard needs more enhancements."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"It needs more integration with other tools for monitoring. Microsoft also needs to make it more modern to make it work with microservices and the cloud. It is a bit outdated currently."
"I would like to see more integration in the solution."
"Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
