TFS Review

RBAC management is too complicated for SCM and IT to manage.

Valuable Features:

Code annotations and code review is the "most valuable" feature of this product platform.

Improvements to My Organization:

RBAC management is too complicated for SCM and IT to manage, Windows Explorer integration of Power Tools is not reliable, Workspace synchronization is not reliable, does not support keyword expansion, does not support offline history and cannot even determine the current workspace version without being connected to TFS server, shelf sets cannot be versioned, shelf sets cannot be merged, and merges do not carry associated work items.  These are just the issues with version control.

Room for Improvement:

Throw a dart, you will hit something that needs improvement in TFS.
