The status and reporting features are very important. Automation reduces time to deploy. It also allows us to do more with releases and testing prior to production, better guaranteeing a smooth deployment."
"Its ability to automate release deployments, streamline release scope, and reduce the cost of and time for deployment."
"The most valuable feature for me is the fact that you can easily design a pipeline to promote applications from a development environment up to a production environment, and the team can become autonomous in designing those pipelines."
"The second valuable aspect is its capability to drive external systems like deployment automation engines or to integrate with Agile Central."
"It is good for monitoring purposes. We are using the build pipelines of Microsoft Azure. They are also valuable."

"I really like the Microsoft DevOps survey."
"My first impression of DevOps, after using Jira, is that it has a much better, more intuitive, and more user-friendly interface."
"It is easy to use. The shared repository is useful. Everything is in one environment."
"It's a great product for the CI/CD process."
"Reporting and dashboarding could be improved. Release pipelines should be creatable via templates as well as easily integrable/chained together. Visual navigation could also be improved when the pipelines become too large."
"Automic Continuous Delivery Director can improve the integrations. We have 25 but would like more."
"CDD and RA should be two modules in the same product. They do not automatically “talk” to each other. and they require endpoint definition."
"We would like to have a more user-friendly interface. It is already very friendly, but as soon as you start to have many applications with many tasks, the applications should be easier to manipulate on the screen."
"The product's development has been stopped. It focuses on maintaining existing products."
"We have rolled out the SAFe model, but what we would like to have is better integration with Agile Central, for instance, or at least at the plugin level, where we would select only certain stories instead of many stories in the sprint."
"The optimization feature in Microsoft Azure DevOps needs improvement. Control over multiple projects could also be improved."
"I'd like to have something better for the test plan."
"I can't think of any specific things at the moment, but I've run into things that I didn't like. I came across something that I wanted to be changed in DevOps, but I can't remember what it was. It was a particular feature I was looking for that I couldn't find."
"When you compare with Jira, there is a lack of progress features."
"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."
"It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members."
"One potential enhancement in Azure DevOps could be integrating more customizable reporting features, particularly for Power BI integration."
"Its UI can be easier and more customer-friendly. The UI can be improved from the project management and agile perspective."
