We primarily use Azure DevOps for source control with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and project management using Azure Boards, and it's pretty much the core of our development workflow.

The flexibility of the pipelines in Azure DevOps is impressive; we can customize them to fit our specific needs and integrate with a lot of different tools, while Azure Boards is helpful for keeping track of everything, though it does take some getting used to.

The integrations with other tools in Azure DevOps are generally seamless; we use it with Slack, Jenkins, and a few other tools without any major issues, and the API is well-documented too, which makes custom integrations relatively straightforward.

My experience with Azure DevOps shows it's a very powerful platform; it's helped us streamline our development processes significantly, and I would definitely recommend it.

When using Azure Boards, it's feature-rich, which can be overwhelming at first; there's a learning curve to understanding all the different functionalities and customizing the workflows to fit our processes.

The pricing of Azure DevOps can be complex; it's not always easy to figure out exactly how much you're going to end up spending, and occasionally the UI can be slow, but that's not a frequent problem.
