We performed a comparison between Jira Align and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Agile Planning Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the most valuable features are the configurations and dashboards."
"The most valuable feature is that engineers can access the Jira database and just search for the tasks that are assigned to them. They can then update the status on their own in those records that are assigned to them."
"Jira Align's most valuable features are the roadmap, the program board, and the reports."
"I've had no issues with Align's stability."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the ability to customize the entries and to update them quickly. Since the new version they released, we started utilizing the customization features to create specific codes and symbols for our teams that were not available before. For example, in team A each person had their own symbols and we had our own demarcation. When our project or task was completed, we had a code that we could enter online that let the main project managers know that it was time to remove it."
"The most valuable feature of Jira Align is the overall team vision."
"The reporting structure is great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it saves time."
"There are great automation tools."
"Most of the features are very valuable for us, especially the source code control and task management."
"It's got something that you won't find in other products."
"It is good for the purpose it is designed for. It is good for maintaining a repository of application code, creating pipelines for deploying the code, building the code, and deploying the code. It can be easily used by developers. There are no issues."
"Most developers and project managers choose the Microsoft tools to begin with because of familiarity, and these new tools are almost an extension of the tools you're already familiar with. There's a lot of knowledge transfer, which helps, rather than bringing in a new product line."
"You get a complete solution with Azure DevOps. You can do everything in one place, starting from requirement gathering until you release the product. It is a reliable, scalable, and handy product."
"The nice thing about Visual Studio Code is that it's a modular design. So if you're working on a strange language that has a different syntax, you can just get a plugin that'll format your code for you based on the language it's in."
"Maybe some of the terms and the connectivity could be improved."
"It would be helpful if they had something for capacity planning that was simpler to understand."
"I would like to see Jira Align merge and integrate better with Jira as a whole. A lot of the time, the data from Jira won't map very well into Jira Align."
"Lacks sufficient reporting capabilities."
"There is no linkage between the Jira records and the overarching schedule. We maintain the overarching schedule in Microsoft Project, and there is no linkage back and forth with the Jira tasks. They are independent of each other."
"The synchronization between Jira and Jira Align takes too long."
"Other companies that are competitors of Jira and Confluence, they are able to create their active directories for the vendors that don't come in internally."
"The framework could be better."
"If they could build up requirement traceability metrics, then it would be great."
"It is essential that you get buy-in from the top management down to everyone in the pipeline."
"I can't think of anything I would like to improve, since I don't have complete knowledge of the platform yet. I'm sure that as I gain more experience, I will understand it better. The price could maybe be cheaper, but I'm sure I'll have more ideas as to improvements and additional features once I've used it more."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps could improve by having better integration with other email servers."
"I would like to see DevOps have the ability to give us something with a compatibility or traceability matrix."
"When converting to DevOps, it was difficult to map."
"Definitely, there should be more integration between GitHub and Azure DevOps."
"Integration and plugins for other tools could better. Like if you want to integrate the DevOps with other tools that are in the market. This could be for the engineering tools to check code quality, application security tools, and DevOps dashboard tools."
