The initial setup is not complex. It’s moderately easy.

The tool's setup is straightforward. We need two to three admins to manage the tool's deployment and maintenance. 

The initial setup was straightforward.

Visual Studio Team System's deployment is straightforward and completed in a few hours. You need to select the options that you want to configure. 

The solution's initial setup process was easy since it could be done in five minutes. For deployment and maintenance, we have five system engineers.

We found the initial setup to be pretty simple and straightforward. It was not very complex or difficult. An organization shouldn't have too much trouble with the initial setup.

When we first implemented this solution, we had some hiccups because earlier versions needed SharePoint and a special Active Directory to be set up. It was not easy or straightforward. We had to separate our Active Directory and the company corporate directory into three directories. One for activities, one for the company, and one for the development team alone. In general, the older version was a little bit complicated. It took about one week to prepare and set it up.

The latest, cloud-based version is much better in terms of setup.

It was pretty easy to install, and we did it mainly on SQL, so we deployed it ourselves. We don't have a lot of machines running on it. The deployment took about 15 to 20 minutes. The deployment isn't complicated, as we work with the industrial factory that is producing. So we have to synchronize, and wait to start some processes. When we plan to deploy and we have to restart them afterwards.

The tool is not complex. It's medium, because there are a lot of new features that Microsoft delivered about three months ago. But it's easy for me to use the majority of features, as I feel there are new features that I am learning how to use and improve in the company.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. If it's in-house then you just deploy it to a server. I think that it comes with its own SQL database, as well. Then, you just link Visual Studio to the implementation and start adding files.

The installation is seamless as to what I usually do.

The setup is straightforward and I rate it a ten out of ten. 

Installation is easy. 

While I do not recall its exact duration, this should be around four hours. 

We did the installation and setup ourselves and it was really straightforward.
