Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Some of the valuable features are the functionality and the wide range of capabilities.""It is a really easy way to define all of the features that you need to deliver. You can link those features to epics and break them down into user stories. You can also assign the user stories into sprints for doing your product improvement planning.""Typically the sprints themselves and managing the tasks have essentially eliminated our need for reporting.""You can have test cases in DevOps but not in JIRA. And, DevOps has advantages in terms of executing those test cases.""We can track everything from the requirements stage to the production stage.""The most valuable feature of the solution is task management.""Azure DevOps is effective for repository management and code collaboration. We can create branches, differentiate between code versions, save and review code later, get PR approvals, and more. All these features are valuable.""This is an all-in-one, one-stop shop, nothing comes close."

Cons
"The UI, the user experience, is challenging for newcomers.""Non-functional testing such as security testing, log testing, and performance testing can be improved with a better visualization.""Azure DevOps could be improved with more security plugins, especially for SaaS scanning and vulnerability scans.""There are some areas that need improvement such as tracking.""The administrative capabilities of the tool need a huge improvement. Its Wiki and reporting also need a lot of improvement. Their support can also be better.""Not all companies use the same methodology which could limit the use of this solution.""The ability to integrate Microsoft Azure DevOps with other platforms and Microsoft products can be improved.""The testing environment and different pipelining concepts can be improved."

More Microsoft Azure DevOps Cons →

"What I'm missing from the solution is a repository for the code. Something like Git, for example. Some sort of depository for the code that is embedded.""It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available.""The pricing should be more competitive.""In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need."

    Overview

    Microsoft Azure DevOps is a cloud service that enables developers to collaborate on code development projects and create and deploy applications quicker than ever before. The service helps unite developers, project managers, and software development experts through a collaborative experience while using the application. For the users' convenience, Azure DevOps offers the user cloud services through Azure DevOps Services or an on-premises service using Azure DevOps Server. In addition, it supports integration with additional services and adding extensions, including the ability for the user to create their own custom extensions. 

    Azure DevOps provides a variety of unified features that can be accessed through their web browser or IDE client, such as:

    • Azure Pipelines - Develop and deploy services to support ongoing application integration and delivery. Azure pipelines, which work with almost every project type and most languages, will automatically test code projects in order to make them available to others.

    • Azure Artifacts - Share packages and integrate package sharing between teams. Packages include NuGet, npm, and Maven, in addition to other private and public sources. Developers can now share and consume packages with other developers from different public registries.

    • Azure Repos - Offers source control of your code through Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) or Git repositories. Developers can now keep track of any changes that are made in their code over the course of their project.

    • Azure Test Plans - Offers continuous and manual/exploratory app testing through several tools. Test Suites, or a collection of Test Cases, are grouped together in a container called a Test Plan.

    • Azure Boards - Provides a suite of Agile tools to track work, support planning, code defects, and general issues while using Kanban and Scrum software. Teams are in need of tools that are flexible and will help them grow. Azure Boards is a service that helps developers manage their software projects. 

    Benefits of Microsoft Azure DevOps

    • A quick setup and easy deployment
    • An elastic scale

    • No-maintenance operations
    • Effortless collaboration through domains
    • The ability to create and deploy products faster than traditional software

    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.”

    Get the governance and compliance capabilities you need to manage complexity. OpenText AccuRev helps you implement modern development practices at enterprise scale.
