Have faced challenges in getting timely responses but have managed to streamline workflows and reduce infrastructure costs
My current company was not using any products apart from AMQ. I suggested it to them, which is why they started using it. I also suggested it to the customer. The feedback for Red Hat AMQ has been good. Based on this, we suggest it to our customers, and they are happy using that product. Our big customer, FedEx, which is one of the best and biggest giants in logistics and courier, started using it and they are happy with that. The base operating system, RHEL 8 and 9, is being used across the infrastructure. The server and critical applications and data are running on Red Hat 8 and 9. We are performing proper maintenance of the OS and it is working fantastically. We have not received any issues or complaints. Our domains include Human Gateway, pharmaceuticals, and automobile clients. The critical application is running on Microsoft Azure DevOps Server. When developers send code to us, we create the CI/CD pipeline and schedule jobs. The solution provides time savings and infrastructure savings. Multiple virtual machines are not required when installing applications in containerization, which saves infrastructure costs. We receive notifications about CPU, memory, and disk space utilization from time to time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Azure DevOps Server is a go-to product because it has everything in one place for project management, delivery, code, and similar functionalities."
"I am not familiar with any issues with respect to stability, and I have never seen Team System crash."
"The solution’s fast performance is its most valuable feature."
"The solution has a good framework that is user friendly and scalable."
"At my previous employer, I had 100 or more programmers and the product handled everything like a charm, no problem."
"The solution is scalable, stable and has allowed us to upgrade our frameworks."
"What I like about this solution is that you have Source control that enables you to organize and track the production so that you know where you are in the development phase and so on."
"Azure Board is helpful because it is easy to use and the board clearly shows the status of our project."
"There was a significant ROI, as the development of weekly metrics from Excel spreadsheets, Lotus Notes databases, Access databases, and some Word documents went from a two to three day affair to a process that now takes seconds."
"Allows us to automate work flows to provision IS services."
"Estimates from all teams are visible in one general ticket (PFC)."
"The Composer is absolutely a magical tool, allowing you to get a fully functional app based on your process sketch in a couple of hours, without knowing BPMN notation."
 

Cons

"While the solution performs well overall, it would be beneficial if they provided quick links for immediate access to support when queries arise."
"Price is a concern, though we are currently managing."
"When you go into the front-end, the web portal, if, for example, you pick up an issue, it would be ideal if the branch was automatically created in the repository. Right now, this isn't the case."
"I would like to see the inclusion of more programming languages, especially better support for Java."
"The stability of the product could be better."
"I cannot comment on how I rate Microsoft Azure DevOps Server solution; I'm working in a small part of it and don't have enough experience."
"The technical support could be better."
"The UI itself is not always intuitive, often requiring extra steps."
"Response time could improve."
"Reporting is generally very good, but people always want more."
"User interface and links between tickets. For me, Jira is the ideal tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no fee for the solution's community version."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is an open-source product from Microsoft."
"The price could be better."
"You can choose pricing from a variety of options. I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
