We build a table in TFS and then deploy it using Octopus. It is a slower process, and you can go directly to SSMS and create a table there. However, there is no history if there are any mishaps, so we lose all the changes. So it is better to make those changes in TFS to have a backup. So even though TFS is slower, it is better.

Since it is a very stable product, there is no chance of our company planning to replace it with some other product. The most that my company would do is they might consider shifting from TFS Version Control to Git TFS.

As I work in a bank, TFS ensures the solution is always available, making it a stable tool. I have never faced any stability issues while using the solution.

It was quite stable. We did not have a lot of issues over all those years. So, it definitely was a reliable solution for a long period of time. It just was not flexible when we started moving to a more agile model.

AK
Project Manager at Duck Creek Technologies

There have been some lags in the past, and we have also encountered some latency when setting it up on the laptop. You may have some problems at first, but as soon as you connect to the internet and update your product, everything becomes stable.

Within our organization, for example, we use Microsoft Teams for communication, chats, and for calls. We had some issues with it being unreliable and not fully airing the sound over the laptop speakers and mic. I discovered that as soon as we updated the product, the stability was restored. There was a problem with Teams, which they fixed and updated.

Initial difficulties are to be expected, but things are constantly improving.

No. I have experienced no system outages in the TFS systems, which I built and configured myself.

Obviously, a poorly configured server/database instance will have stability problems. However, there is extensive public guidance provided by Microsoft on setup, upgrades, and migrations.

It's is a very stable solution but when compared with Jira, Jira has taken over. The question should be: how agile is TFS? From this perspective, TFS is lacking — the ease of usability is less.
