Microsoft Azure DevOps Scalability
It is easy to scale the solution by increasing the number of agents. Our clients for Microsoft Azure DevOps are enterprise businesses.
I rate the solution a nine out of ten for scalability.
The scalability is good.

For the cloud, it has been really good. For on-prem too, it is easy enough to scale out. TFS also has always been pretty easy to scale out.
In terms of the number of users, currently, we're in a transition because we were just acquired by another company. So, we're leaving our parent company, and we're going to a new company. The numbers that I have are in flux. Our current numbers are at about 600 for just our existing or old company. I've been asked to stop onboarding my users and projects until we move our current organization into our new operational tenant in the new company, but I'm projecting that we'll have between 2,000 to 4,000 people.

Learn what your peers think about Microsoft Azure DevOps. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: April 2024.
768,578 professionals have used our research since 2012.
It's capable of handling large volumes of data, project archives, source code, and more without any issues. Around three thousand developers regularly engage with Azure DevOps in various capacities. We have plans to expand its usage in the future. I would rate it eight out of ten.

Microsoft Azure DevOps is scalable if you have everything in place, such as the service map and processes. Before you do anything, you have to understand what the impact will be on the customer.
We had over 10 million people using this solution worldwide. I have worked in many countries, such as the Americas, Canada, and Chile. Many of our product groups were in China, India, France, and Israel.

View full review »When you surpass a terabyte of data from a work item standpoint, certainly there are some limitations in performance as the running is querying that large data set in the backend.
I've done multiple different deployments. Sometimes, the smaller, smaller deployments have been a handful of five people, and it might be three software devs, a test engineer, a hardware engineer, and a PM.
I've also done larger deployments where it's 8,300 people. That was a mix of hardware, software, PMs, firmware engineers, front-end, full-stack devs, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, et cetera.
In the deployment that was 8,300, it's actually still deployed there and growing. Another deployment I was a part of that was a medium deployment - 20 users - has since reduced more due to politics and going back to the front-end, ease of use. There are some folks that it was too high of friction to use it. You can scale it up or down to match your needs.

This is an area that has yet to be explored fully. We haven't taken it to this level.
We are a team of 25 to 30 members, which is fine for us. Every time we scale up we need a new license and that takes time, it's not just a click and it's done.
I don't know if it will be scalable for 200 to 300 people.

The scalability of the solution is good and there's no maintenance required. We're a small operation and we could grow by a factor of 10 and it wouldn't be a problem. This is an SaaS and if you need to take care of it, there's something wrong. We use the solution extensively and soon we'll have almost every piece of software, including all our test automation and embedded firmware there so we'll be increasing usage.
We have more than 35 Microsoft Azure DevOps users in our organization.

It is difficult to customize DevOps. It's similar to a product that has had features added to it rather than being completely redesigned. As a result, it has limitations in terms of scalability and customization.

Scalability, at least for the time that we have been using the solution, hasn't been a problem. We are able to adjust and expand any time of VMs. Any organization that needs to grow its usage should be able to do so easily.
Currently, 40 people are using the solution for one of the projects we're running. We have whoever you could think of in an agile team on it. Everybody from the business analyst to the product managers, to the testers, to the developers, and even to business end-users are on it.
I'm not sure if our organization plans on expanding its usage in the future.
View full review »Being cloud-based, this product is highly scalable, offering the flexibility to scale horizontally or vertically as needed. With a relatively small team of ten to twenty users, the scalability of the product aligns well with our requirements. It is widely utilized by both developers and the QA team.

IT Project Manager at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
We've only been using it for about three years, and so far, it seems to be able to adapt to our growth. We're maturing into it. We're moving in the direction of using it more, and I feel confident that it'll scale appropriately.
We have at least a hundred people using the tool. There are different degrees of people who are using it. Some people are using it in the read mode or view mode to keep themselves informed of where things are. We have some project managers who actually use the tool, and then we have a couple of administrators. I'm one of the administrators for our program. I have a couple of vendor or partner folks who are also administrators. We also have a development team that does some customizations on the dashboard and the Power BI reports that we do. These are pretty much different roles or layers that we have.
We do grant developers access to be able to make their own updates within the tool. Typically, project managers or scrum masters do that, but we also have some team members who are on these projects and have enough understanding of how the tool works and how we're using it. They are able to do their own reporting and their own updates on their statuses.
In terms of plans to increase its usage, we're moving in that direction. Most of our projects are done in Microsoft waterfall project management schedules, but we are being encouraged to move over to more of an Agile approach on our project methodology. Our mandate is that if you're going to do anything Agile, use the DevOps tool.
It is scalable. Currently, we have around ten users. We hope to increase its usage.

Thomas Clay
Senior .NET Engineer at Advance Storage Products
We're using perhaps 10% of what it is capable of doing. It is far more capable than what we are using right now. With further experimentation and training, I'll probably go from 10% utilization of its capabilities to about 50% or 60% in the next couple of months. We'll never use 100% of what it is capable of doing, but it should handle 95% of everything we need to do. We can always write our own plugins to handle the side things that we need.
Scalability is not really applicable with the code that we write, but the build times and things like that typically take under 15 seconds before we get our responses back. So, it works extremely well.
In terms of the number of users, there are six of us who are software developers. Some of the managers might also partially use the reporting capabilities.

This solution is extremely scalable.
It helps a lot in Microservices or service technologies. Using the infrastructures of code enables a productivity increase of a thousand percent. I was speaking with a company that was pulling 12 requests at one time but using competitive technology like DevOps they were able to pull over 2000 requests at the same time. It's extremely scalable and you can use it to scale down when it needs it. It's a completely autonomous product, that allows you to scale whatever you need.
I have five or six back end developers that use it every day. They learn every day, so whatever code or scripts they write are in Azure DevOps. They're not using any another tool to do it, they are pulling it with the platform because you can't tell other people about a platform if you aren't using it yourself. The first thing they do is log on to DevOps.
There will be an increase in our usage of the product. We are looking to expand at some point. The more people that come on board, the more use there is for the product.
View full review »We have approximately one hundred users, the majority of which are developers. There are some project managers and team leads, as well as different levels of management who present to stakeholders.

DevOps is highly scalable. Before one of our clients decided to move to the cloud version of DevOps, they decided to try it in a small environment to see if they liked it.

It wasn't for testing or anything. It was just a mini development environment that replicated their internal chassis.
