Debbie Brey - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable, full-package solution with a tech support team that bends over backwards to help
There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it. The feature I would like to see is already in their newer licensing structure, and that's the live integration between Agility, Jira and Azure DevOps. That's the piece that I think is really valuable.
Pmurki@Micron.Com Praveen - PeerSpot reviewer
Version control is excellent and good for code review, branching, merging strategies and more
I've worked with TFS for source control and Agile project management. We also used TFS for seamless team collaboration and tracking.  I used TFS for a couple of years. Now, we use Azure DevOps. It's a wonderful tool for source control and CI/CD pipelines It's a really valuable tool for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability."
"Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through."
"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity."
"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."
"For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"The solution is very much stable."
"I like the Kanban board. It is very useful in terms of seeing who is working on what and what the current status of work is."
"Build definitions and releases within the product. allow us to put our latest applications in the field."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's an integrated system that includes all the information that we need to deliver our products smoothly and to track the progress of each piece of code."
"Team Foundation Server (TFS) is easy to use, and we have a complete trail and traceability. We also like the access control part."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
 

Cons

"It was not supporting some plugins. We wanted to migrate data that we were already using."
"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."
"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."
"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."
"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."
"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The execution of test cases could stand improvement."
"I understand Microsoft is phasing out TFS in favor of Git, so I would steer anyone interested in TFS to look into Git."
"They should have design patterns in TFS for the development team, and design patterns for the QA."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
"I would also like a true command prompt like Git."
"This solution is quite old and it is already being bundled as Azure DevOps Server."
"There might be some complexity in its off-cloud versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."
"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."
"The price of the solution is cheaper than other competitors and it is a per-user license."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"You will need to obtain server and account licenses."
"It's just as expensive as HPE ALM, without many of the features, best used for development tool only to avoid higher costs."
"TFS is not cheap."
"The pricing is reasonable at this time."
"TFS is more competitively priced than some other solutions."
"It is pretty expensive compared to other project management tools."
