Microsoft Azure DevOps Reviews

I am familiar with the VSTS environment, grading tests, plan, and tracking dashboard activity.

In my previous company, we used this solution to create test cases, test reports, test execution, task boards, and we use the dashboard for the product activity.

I really like the Microsoft DevOps survey.

I would like to see DevOps have the ability to give us something with a compatibility or traceability matrix.

I have never seen a table or a Matrix in DevOps for traceability for either software or hardware upgrades. I am not aware of whether the website has these capabilities.

I had planned to recommend this product to my current company but the traceability is missing and could not consider it.

I have been using this solution for three or four years.

It has some bugs that we reported and they have been fixed, which is good.

I would rate Microsoft Azure DevOps a nine out of ten.

I am using it as a developer in the agile scrum area.

It has improved the team cooperation for building, developing, and releasing systems.

It is easy to use. The shared repository is useful. Everything is in one environment.

It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members.

I have been using this solution for one and a half years.

It is very stable. If it doesn't work, it is usually because of network issues.

I didn't need support from Microsoft. Any need for support was internally fulfilled by my colleagues.

I would recommend this solution. It is a nice environment for working in teams and implementing the DevOps philosophy. It provides good support for that.

I would rate Microsoft Azure DevOps an eight out of ten.

I'm using it for specifications of the requirements, for example, or a user for research specifications. I'm also using it to build up test cases right now.

Overall, the solution is pretty good. It fulfills most of our requirements.

The stories and test cases on offer are great.

The initial setup was pretty self-explanatory. It was straightforward.

The pricing seems to be reasonable.

The solution needs to add the capability for building live documents. 

I would like to see a bit more project tracking. There should be more Kanban views. There maybe should be a few more reports. If the reporting was increased a bit, it would make it so that you can check a bit more information around the progress of the project. That would help with project management and progression. 

I've been using the solution about twice a week for the last few months. It hasn't been that long and it's not a daily occurrence. In total, it's maybe only been two or three months.

So far, I've found the solution to be quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's quite reliable.

We have about 3 people using the product currently in my company, and about 30 customers.

I've never had to contact technical support. We haven't faced any issues that would require us to. Therefore, I have not idea how they would be. I can't speak to how knowledgeable or responsive they are. At this point, I have no insights to share.

I have worked with other DevOps tools previously. I've worked with Jira and Polarion in the past. I haven't necessarily worked with them together or consecutively. It all depends on individual project requirements. 

That said, I am not using Polarion anymore.

The initial setup was not overly complex. It was pretty straightforward. A company should have too much trouble with it.

The pricing of the solution seems to be pretty good. It doesn't strike me as being too high.

I'm just a customer and end-user. I don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's been okay so far. We're satisfied with the solution overall.

We use Azure DevOps as a way to organize our development. As a means of facilitating application deployment from pre-production to production. We use it to organize our environment and identification systems. If you don't have the power or permission to do something, you can't do it. With Azure DevOps, we can create profiles that developers can use right away to go from pre-production to production.

Microsoft Azure DevOps is a very useful system. Before using this solution, we had to deploy our applications, from pre-production to production, manually.

We are entry-level users when it comes to Azure DevOps. We haven't had to set up anything complex as of yet. So far, we are very satisfied with this service.

This solution is very stable. On a scale from one to ten, stability-wise, I would give it a rating of nine.

I've never had to scale it up or down, so I can't comment on that.

If we experience any issues, I am not the one who contacts support. Other team members handle that.

We had some hands-on help from Microsoft engineers with deployment, so for us, it was straightforward. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. If Microsoft Azure DevOps were more accessible in south Brazil, I would give it a rating of ten. Although, the reason for this may be due to the price.

Some of the valuable features are the interface and the workflows are easy to learn and to manage. It has all the features that are required on each account.

There are some areas that need improvement such as tracking. There is not anything major that needs to be improved in the future, just minor adjustments are needed. The solution works well.

I have been using the solution for a few years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to be scalable, we have approximately 30 people using it.

I have not used the support. However, you receive all the documentation with the solution needed.

I would recommend this solution, it is a good tool to use.

I rate Microsoft Azure DevOps an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft Azure DevOps to store our code, manage our code, and publish it.

Before we used Azure DevOps, our team used to promote the code manually. What they did was publish, copy the files and paste them on the server or run lines of code to get our services in production. That takes a lot of time. With the pipeline we're using, that time was reduced by ten times. We're ten times faster now.

Everything that's related to the pipeline has been very good. We're using this to promote our code and to secure it. The library and all the stuff that we can manage inside the pipeline is helping us a lot.

I'd like to have something better for the test plan. The test plan seems to be really manual even now. There's a lot of stuff to do there, and it could be improved. 

Sometimes, it's also difficult for us to handle all the connections with iOS. iOS connections are really very difficult. We're using a different product, which is part of Microsoft, called App Center. But sharing from Azure DevOps to App Center has been difficult. They should try to improve things related to iOS development or iOS production.

I've been using Microsoft Azure DevOps for the last five years.

I wouldn't complain about stability. Sometimes we have a couple of maintenance windows, which is okay. We actually had a couple of problems, but I don't remember. I would say that it's under normal standards. I wouldn't complain about it.

Microsoft Azure DevOps is scalable. It was easy to grow.

If I ever raised any kind of a question to technical support, it was pretty good. I have asked a couple of questions in the technical area. They helped me, and it was good and pretty fast.

We used to use another solution, but I don't remember which one. We switched because of a big contract that our company had with Azure. We were going to have our servers with Azure, and it looked like they reviewed the pricing and made the change.

The initial setup was really easy. I didn't even manage this before, but I'm the one who is running this now, and it's pretty easy. Something that made me a little bit confused was all the permissions you have to give to teams and people. Sometimes it's kind of tricky, but it's understandable.

Lately, the deployment's taking a little bit longer than before. I don't know what happened. I'll say that before our deployments took us maybe a couple of minutes. I didn't even measure that, but now it sometimes takes up to 40 minutes or an average of 30 minutes for each deployment.

I implemented Microsoft Azure DevOps by myself.

I would advise potential Microsoft Azure DevOps users to start exploring the free options, which are pretty good. I use it myself as an independent. As soon as you start using it, you'll know that you have to pay because it's a good tool that we can have to manage our code.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Azure DevOps an nine.

We are a reseller of solutions and provide maintenance to our customers. Azure DevOps is one of the products that we have experience with.

Our customers use this product when they want to enter the DevOps space and integrate or consolidate all of their existing tools. It allows them to communicate seamlessly between development, their operations, and other team members.

This platform provides a large span of tools and technologies.

I would like to see better integration and collaboration between tools. There are different companies offering different tools, and how well something is integrated contributes to the completeness of the solution. 

The platform needs to be updated because things are still in the process of change.

I have been working with Microsoft Azure DevOps for almost three years.

We have had no complaints about stability.

Scalability has not been a problem.

We have not been in contact with technical support.

The initial setup is complex. It really depends on those who are using it in the company and exactly what they're utilizing with respect to tools. It also depends on whether they want to integrate it.

We have an in-house team for deployment.

The price of this solution is fair.

There are a lot of different tools on the market such as Jira, so I would look at DevOps as one option and how it is going to handle things in your environment.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We are a small product team and we do software development. I'm part of the testing team and I use Azure DevOps to manage all of my test activities. This includes my test plan, where I create my test cases, write test scripts, execute them, and publish the results using the dashboards.

I like a lot of the features in Azure DevOps.

The creation of test plans is valuable and I like the reporting features that it offers. For example, I like the charts, as well as reporting progress.

The interface is user-friendly.

I have not been able to use the integration with automation features, such as test management automation, with a framework that is written in Java. Currently, Azure offers frameworks that are written in C#. I have not found anything in the Microsoft documentation to say that it supports other languages.

I have been using Microsoft Azure DevOps for approximately two years.

Being a SaaS product, sometimes we experience hangs. However, that is okay because in general, it is very much stable. If there are any outages then I get prior notification of such events.

I have not tried scaling it. In my team, we have approximately 30 people who are using it.

For me, the first point of contact is my internal organization and not Microsoft directly. However, if there are any changes that require Microsoft's intervention then there is an intermediate team who coordinates it. The response has been pretty good and I am happy with the support.

I have used several tools in the past including Zephyr and the Rational Quality Manager.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. We needed to set up a Microsoft account, and that gives access to the projects. Basically, the IT department or IT administrators take care of the access.

As a member of the team, once access is provided, I can just start using it. It is plug-and-play, as far as I'm concerned.

It is a subscription model and I only pay for what I use.

Very recently, I was doing comparative studies of available test management solutions on the market and I find Azure DevOps to be pretty good.

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
