"It's is a very stable solution."
"User alerts are very helpful for knowing when work is required."
"TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
"Complete integration with VS IDE and Office tools: This give us a possibility of high-level automation, thus minimizing human error."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"There is always a bit of a performance problem. It's a bit slow to load the whole data."
"One thing that I don't like about Jira is that when you do an export, it only allows a thousand issues. So the export feature needs to be better."

"One of the areas that could be improved is to have an effective full lifecycle management."
"I would also like a true command prompt like Git."
"The interface can be improved and made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the reporting features expanded so that I can see details on the users connected to all of the projects."
"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 solution's server for deployment needs to be improved."
"There are many things that I cannot do, and I have a lot of bugs."
