Microsoft Azure DevOps Reviews

Full DevOps suite.

Allows for source control and CI/CD pipelines while linking back to the work items on the Kanban board.

CI/CD pipelines and repositories.

Information to make it easier to choose items from the marketplace (like MS verified), etc.  Otherwise, every item requires a full InfoSec review.

I work as a DevOps Engineer. I use this solution as an end-user.

I definitely like the pipelines and the ease of management once you're in an enterprise. 

The controlling security, the ease of access, the free plans, and the developer plans.

I also like the licensing structure in general.

I would like there to be more seamless integration with GitHub. 

Azure DevOps seems to be targeted towards enterprises and GitHub is the ugly sister, so to speak, that you come about in the enterprise. 

There is no real interaction between the products, which is a real shame since they are both developed by Microsoft. 

Definitely, there should be more integration between GitHub and Azure DevOps.

I have been working with Microsoft Azure DevOps for a couple of years, ever since they changed their name from Visual Studio Team Services.

Microsoft Azure DevOps is definitely stable.

I have experience with Azure Bicep and Paraform.

The initial setup is quite easy.

The licensing structure is good.

Definitely, I would recommend this solution. I would still look into your team goals and what tools you already know. 

GitHub is more community-driven, with more modules that are easy to access. 

Azure DevOps is more integrated with Azure as a platform, and that is important to consider when you consider DevOps in general or Azure DevOps.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Broadly speaking, we use the product for .net websites, APIs, data integration, migration, data analysis, job orders, and workflows.

The ability to integrate Microsoft Azure DevOps with other platforms and Microsoft products can be improved. 

We have been using Microsoft Azure DevOps for more than seven years.

The product is easy to use and very stable.

The product is scalable.

We feel our experience with technical support to be straightforward. They have responded to our requests for help or support in good time and make themselves available for questions.

The installation of Microsoft Azure DevOps is straightforward. The steps are already in place and one only need follow them. We were able to handle this by ourselves.

The product is deployed to the cloud and we have five developers responsible for this. 

We are using the latest version of the product.

Our organization has five people who are using it. 

We plan to continue to use Microsoft Azure DevOps because our development or our environment is one of Microsoft's.

My advice to someone considering implementing the product is that it is good. I work in a Microsoft school so this is the environment with which everyone is acquainted.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

Our only use case with DevOps was for integration with ReadyAPI.

The most valuable feature is that we can run integrations with DevOps. From a QA perspective and a testing perspective, we can run those tests and integrate automation tools. Then we can run those tests as part of the deployment process. Every time we are deploying something, it automatically runs all the tests.

Something that could be improved is the initial setup with the integration of ReadyAPI.

I used this solution for six months.

Stability is fine. I was getting some errors, but that was due to my side of things.

Scalability is fine.

I would rate this solution 6 out of 10.

I did have some issues due to our organization, but it would be different for everyone. My advice is to reach out to support if you have any problems.

We use this solution for project management and delivery.

It is easy to use.

We are able to generate many different types of reports from Azure. It connects well to PowerBI. 

The performance is good.

They could have more reporting features added to the dashboard. There are certain features, and reporting that can only be used in PowerBI, but not directly in DevOps. 

We would like to have the same calculated reports that can be accessed in PowerBI, available in Microsoft Azure DevOps. 

We have been using Microsoft Azure DevOps for the last two and a half years.

Microsoft Azure DevOps is a stable product.

It is easy to scale. We have approximately 250 employees in our organization who use this solution.

We have contacted technical support. They provided us with a fast resolution.

We are using Azure, and TFS now. We are also planning to migrate to AWS as well.

The installation was easy.

We have an IT team of four to manage and deploy this solution.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

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 for managing our workflow, as well as the CI/CD.

We use the CD/CD for all of our deployment lifecycles.

The CI/CD portal is very user-friendly.

The platform is very easy to manage. It is easy to manage repositories between the business users and corporate users.

Fields can be customized and the reporting is good. The APIs that are exposed can generate management reports.

The most valuable feature is the test manager. 

Integration is easy to do. The single-sign-on facility is there in every aspect including Azure DevOps, Active Directory, our portals, and all of our development sites.

Proper Gantt charting should be a feature that is included because as it is now, we have to create it ourselves.

We would like to have an indicator of the percentage of occupancy. Suppose a person is working on two different domains, and we have 70% on one project with 30% on the other, it should be able to report that. As it is now, we have to manually enter that data. If this functionality were provided then it would make it easier for users.

We have been using Azure DevOps for the past two to two and a half years.

We have had issues, usually related to the APIs, but the support team has always helped us to resolve them.

The Microsoft support team is prompt to respond and very good.

The price is cheaper than Jira and some of the other competing tools.

Overall, this is a good product and if the Gantt chart and occupancy reporting features are added then it will be the most powerful one in this space.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten

We use all the DevOps features and services, like reports, Boards, Pipelines, Artifactory, etc. The interface is interactive and intuitive. The platform visuals and workflow are straightforward in Azure DevOps.

We've been using Azure DevOps for three years.

DevOps' stability is great. No problems.

The infrastructure is good so far, and expanding our user base isn't a problem. Microsoft takes care of the infrastructure.

We are billed for a single license, no matter how many users. 

I rate Azure DevOps eight out of 10.
