Ivan Angelov - PeerSpot reviewer
Facilitates agile transformation with potential for enhanced intuitiveness
What I liked about the solution is that it offers numerous features that are not available by default unless you are agile. Transitioning from the traditional Waterfall model to an agile methodology was challenging for us. Until 2020, our team predominantly worked with the Waterfall approach, using local tools like ServiceNow. We had a few team members who were familiar with Agile ISO, but none had experience with Azure. Therefore, we pursued Azure certification at the AZ-900 level. Our company organized a training session with a certified Azure expert, which was extremely beneficial for adopting best practices during the initial three months. This preparation helped us get accustomed to the new tool, as transitioning to a new system invariably requires time. Managing a pipeline of deliverables became significantly easier with this solution. We utilized it for stories and integrated change management with Azure DevOps. Eventually, everything related to the environment was organized there, enabling us to follow up and track progress with our technical engineers on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis. Reports were automatically generated and sent to management, offering them insights into our progress concerning the predefined roadmap.

Flexible and intuitive with easy reporting, and good support that is instantly available through chat
It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time. This is not an issue if you only have one bug tracker but we can potentially use different tools for different projects. As an example, if you connect PractiTest to Jira for one project, that's the one you have to use for all projects. We had a requirement to connect with Jira for one project, and a different tool for another, project but it was unable to accommodate that unfortunately. I would therefore like to see it easier to integrate with bug tracking tools at project level which would give each project the opportunity to use a different bug tracker if required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the valuable features are the functionality and the wide range of capabilities."
"Reports were automatically generated and sent to management, offering them insights into our progress concerning the predefined roadmap."
"We can forecast tasks and the number of hours a task will take and can compare it with how long a task actually takes."
"This platform provides a large span of tools and technologies."
"The most valuable feature in automating our build and release processes with Azure DevOps is the scheduling capability."
"The most valuable feature is that it brings order to our projects, and we know the status of each one at every moment."
"It is stable. I like Azure a lot. All our guys are Microsoft certified."
"Managing a pipeline of deliverables became significantly easier with this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
 

Cons

"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."
"Not everything about this solution was intuitive."
"I would like to see better interoperability with the agile scaling frameworks."
"At times, our development work encounters issues, particularly when executing numerous CI/CD processes."
"Compared to JIRA, I think Azure DevOps is missing some management elements, like some reporting features. It would be helpful if some things were clearer when we're adding attributes. For instance, sometimes we want to add some categories or attributes, and it's not so easy."
"Improving the metrics that are readily available on the dashboard would be very helpful."
"Its testing features are limited and can be improved a little more. They should provide more options from the testing and build perspective. Currently, we have to use a third-party product for testing. It would be great if it has more than one testing tool."
"The communication could work better, especially for the development team."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the basic license, it is around five euros per month."
"I find that the pricing is good, and it is competitive with the other vendors in the market."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps is an expensive solution."
"Its pricing is reasonable for the number of features that you get and the functionality that you can utilize for the agile delivery, which is what we are using it for. I found it extremely cost-effective."
"The price of this solution is fair."
"The pricing of Azure DevOps falls within the average range and it is fixed."
"Compared to other tools, Microsoft Azure DevOps is a cheap solution."
"The main agile features are very expensive."
"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
