"The product provides efficiency, in terms time, cost, and resources."
"The main benefit is you can deploy everything with it."
"Gives people insight into what's happening during the deployment."
"The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done."
"It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."
"Two of the most valuable features include the integrated project management suite, which consolidates source code and project management in a single location, and its powerful reporting capabilities."
"It is stable. I like Azure a lot. All our guys are Microsoft certified."
"Provides agile management of projects."
"The one thing that really stands out to me is how you can filter and how you can do your reporting and filter the tasks and everything by user."
"Typically the sprints themselves and managing the tasks have essentially eliminated our need for reporting."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it saves time."
"I definitely like the pipelines and the ease of management once you're in an enterprise."
"It is stable, and we have had no issues with it."
"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."
"It would be very beneficial for us to see integrations into cloud environments, especially into the Google Cloud environment because we are heading towards cloud."
"GUI for mobile phones: Availability to approve and start deployment through mobile phones."
"If you have a technical problem and need development of the tool, the support team is terrible, because they cannot help with the technical details."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"There is an issue with the stability in the tool. The process of agent will stop, then the monitoring agent can't be recognized because the process is running, but you can talk with the system."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"The UI could be improved."
"Improving the metrics that are readily available on the dashboard would be very helpful."
"I want DevOps to have more automated reminders about tasks that don't need management. We don't have reminders, so a project manager must track the tasks. It's not automatic."
"I would like to automate notifications on sprint planning. When we are getting to the end of sprint planning, we would be automatically notified."
"They could provide clearer guidance on deployment practices for the product."
"They have brought a lot of new collaboration features in the latest version. We haven't used those features, but they should continue to expand it more on the collaboration front so that two developers can look at the code and work at the same time. It will be helpful for working from home."
"Non-functional testing such as security testing, log testing, and performance testing can be improved with a better visualization."
"We are facing some problems because the capacity can only be measured within a project. It cannot be measured across multiple projects. So, the reporting needs to be enhanced, and there should be more graphs to be able to easily give the upper management insights about all the employees from different departments. It will be helpful for employee management. Currently, the managers over here are using Power BI for insights because the functionality of Azure DevOps Boards is not enough. So, we have to export the data into another visualization tool and get the results."
