We performed a comparison between AgileCraft and TFS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."The linking of PI Objectives with different features was one of the cool things. It had features, epics, and stories out of the box."
"The most valuable feature is integration, particularly if you have a .NET application."
"The work item feature is most valuable. It allows us to store all product requirements. We can also link the test cases to those requirements so that we know which feature has already been tested, and which one is waiting for testing. We can also couple the code reviews, unit tests, and automated tests into these requirements. It is reliable. It has all the features and good performance. It also has reporting tools or analysis tools."
"TFS’s test management capability without the expensive licensing has large gaps. Users will be unable to access performance testing and coded UI testing capabilities."
"The initial setup is fairly easy."
"The solution is very much stable."
"The most valuable features are test case writing and bug tracking."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
"It should just have the integration with Jira. We haven't looked at it since Atlassian bought the product."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
"Merging branches is definitely one of the more challenging aspects for people new to TFS."
"We are also using Microsoft Teams. The two products function separately. There is not enough collaboration between Microsoft Teams and TFS."
"They have room for improvement in merging the source code changes for multiple developers across files. It is very good at highlighting the changes that the source code automatically does not know how to handle, but it's not very good at reporting the ones that it did automatically. There are times when we have source code that gets merged, and we lose the changes that we expected to happen. It can get a little confusing at times. They can just do a little bit better on the merging of changes for multiple developers."
"More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively."
"The test management interface is not very handy."
"The interface can be improved and made more user-friendly."
