Task management has become transparent and reporting now tracks team productivity in detail
I reduced my rating from a perfect score because of one concern. Microsoft Azure DevOps is very easy to use. If any person is new to the platform while creating user stories or repositories, it is a very efficient way for people to work. The platform does not require in-depth training. If someone provides a one to two hour description, people with some technical knowledge would understand it greatly. The platform is interesting for both fully technical and non-technical persons. People can use it easily and it is understandable. Anyone can create a user story or Microsoft Azure Board, generate reports using SQL queries while adding conditions, or monitor tasks. Any person with admin rights can see graphs showing which resources have spent how many hours on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Based on that information, we can measure resource performance, which would be really helpful for management or HR departments when increasing employee salaries, offering appreciation, or providing bonus activities in an organization. Regarding governance and security within Microsoft Azure DevOps, there is strong security because Microsoft provides a secure and productive environment that follows all compliances. Everyone can trust Microsoft because it is a reputable brand in the market. People can rely on and trust any Microsoft product. I am not talking about Microsoft Azure DevOps only, but also CRM, Windows, security, and Entra ID. With any Microsoft product, there is no need to worry about security or compliance concerns. From a security and governance point of view, Microsoft Azure DevOps provides very strong capabilities.

To improve the product, it needs some enhancement to the application's interface to be more user-friendly. The product has all the features that we need and we can depend upon it. My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual. That is my point. It is not very friendly to use. For example, we may need the application to be more friendly in other sorts of ways. If we have an integrated module that allows access to the features we want through one click, you do not need to make it two or three clicks on the screen. The interface can be better designed to easily provide access to the features you need. The feature I would like to see in the next release is just for it to be more friendly to use and to be like a smart application that intuits your movement through the application. It needs to be something that works smoothly and intelligent without any complicated navigation of screens.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There has been a measurable improvement in productivity of around 40 to 50% after implementing Microsoft Azure DevOps, which has allowed more time to be spent on other things."
"It is stable, and we have had no issues with it."
"It becomes a single source of truth for whatever operation is implemented within it."
"Azure DevOps is complete and meets all of your expectations."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it saves time."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps integrates well with other components, such as Synapse, which is a data warehouse tool of Azure. It is a framework platform for BI and integrated with other tools, such as Power BI."
"If someone is considering developing and deploying the infrastructure in this solution, then using this tool is perfect because it's fully integrated with the pipelines and with a server core repository."
"I like the CD pipeline; it's the most valuable feature for us, as it's so easy to integrate into the CD/CI environment and the initial setup is quick and easy."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Our original pre-sales technical contact is now in a different position within the sales organization, but is still willing to field questions, and get the right resources involved to speed up the delivery of customer service."
"It has a user friendly UI which has been very much appreciated by our organization."
"Easy to use on Window platform."
"The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases."
"AccuRev is a better tool in general."
"The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost."
"The solution is 100% scalable. It's much more scalable than the customer's capacity for implementing it. We do plan to increase usage ourselves."
 

Cons

"At times, our development work encounters issues, particularly when executing numerous CI/CD processes."
"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
"The documentation isn't straightforward."
"The solution can be improved by having better integration with other cloud platforms."
"One thing I would note is that it's hard to know what is included or not in the product. Especially when you begin to try and compare it to other solutions. When you go to a site like VersionOne, they tell you Azure DevOps doesn't have this or that, and when you go to Microsoft, it says VersionOne doesn't have this or that. They could do a better job of laying out exactly what is on offer so customers know going in exactly what they'll get."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps could improve by providing better integration with other tools. It is very easy to integrate with Azure, but when you need to integrate with other solutions, such as Amazon Web Services, is difficult."
"Its price can also be reduced. It would be great if they are a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing because many open-source products are currently available in the market."
"We would like some bidirectional synchronization. It's the requirement if you want to analyze it to software requirements, et cetera. That's something that most of the tools aren't that good at."
"My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual."
"Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved."
"Limited reporting features for management."
"In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need."
"Source code conflicts are like evil twins."
"Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM."
"What I'm missing from the solution is a repository for the code. Something like Git, for example. Some sort of depository for the code that is embedded."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution costs $5 or $10 per user, per month."
"I don't have a problem with the pricing."
"With Azure, you have to pay for every user."
"I find that the pricing is good, and it is competitive with the other vendors in the market."
"I am not aware of any licensing subscriptions for the solution."
"We do not pay licenses for this solution."
"We purchase the solution on an annual basis."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps is an expensive solution."
"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."
