Pros

"It's more user-friendly as a solution."
"Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually."
"I noticed that only the enterprise version has integration with GitHub."
"In summary, this is a good product and I strongly recommend it."
"Some of the valuable features are version control and the ability to create different collections in terms of segregating the authorization for teams who connect to small projects."
"TFS is more stable and more scalable."
"The good thing is, unlike other products, you get a complete suite of features."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is that it keeps the code secure while working collaboratively in a team of four or five individuals."
"Versioning and seamless integration with Visual Studio are the features I like most."
"It is a great product that revolutionized the way teams work together on Microsoft pieces of code."
"This solution is simple to learn, it's straightforward and you don't need a lot of time to learn the functionalities."
 

Cons

"There are stability troubles. My area does not have a good connection. That's why sometimes I face issues."
"The execution module of Katalon Test Ops may need some improvement, especially when running a high volume of test scripts."
"The free version is limited."
"The continuous integration and continuous delivery should begin with DSS."
"TFS is scalable with different Microsoft tools for test management but it is not scalable with other third-party tools."
"The dashboard and the customization of dashboards is an area they have to work on."
"As an end-user, I expect the solution's performance to be faster while staying as stable as possible."
"Build definition management - there needs to be change control for build definitions"
"From a testing perspective, while the build and deploy automation capability and pipeline integration are already present to a great extent, these are areas where TFS can improve further."
"One of the areas that could be improved is to have an effective full life-cycle management."
"It is windows only product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are using the open-source version."
"It's just as expensive as HPE ALM, without many of the features, best used for development tool only to avoid higher costs."
"We pay subscription fees on a yearly basis and the price is reasonable."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I am not in a position to comment on the licensing terms, as we are talking about an enterprise arrangement."
"The overall price of TFS is good."
"I believe we pay on a yearly basis. I don't know the current costs of them. We outsource all that to a third party. Each of the developers gets a Microsoft Visual Studio Azure DevOps license, which gives them access to the TFS server as well. We probably pay on average about 1,800 Canadian Dollars a year for every developer, but that covers a lot more than just TFS."
"You will need to obtain server and account licenses."
