Build definitions and releases within the product. allow us to put our latest applications in the field. It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use. Complete integration with VS IDE and Office tools: This give us a possibility of high-level automation, thus minimizing human error. | It has integration with test automation tools. |
Cons | |
The dashboard needs more enhancements. More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively. Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization. We are also using Microsoft Teams. The two products function separately. There is not enough collaboration between Microsoft Teams and TFS. TFS on-premise does not support integration with SharePoint Online. | We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
It is pretty expensive compared to other project management tools. If running TFS on-premise is expensive, maybe you could consider moving to the Cloud and use the Visual Studio Team Services. | Information Not Available |
