Quality Management Office (QMO) Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Flexible and stable with excellent technical support
I am the end user. I have a contract to provide testing for customers, however, ultimately the owner of the tool is the customer. For this reason, we're not direct customers. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I don't like to put 10 due to the fact that I'm sure that something can be improved. That said, if the customer gave me the option to select a product, I'd select SpiraTeam over other tools. The facilities of the tool are more or less the same as the facilities of the ALM or other tools that are in the market. However, the customer support from Inflectra makes you feel like they are working with you. That is the gap in the quality that other options lack. They fix any issue very quickly.

DevOps Engineer at ENTERPRISE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS LIMITED
Have built reliable end-to-end pipelines and streamlined cloud provisioning through consistent collaboration practices
I am currently working with open-source tools such as Jenkins for my main CI/CD pipeline, and for enterprise clients, I am using Microsoft Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline. For other clients, I have also implemented CI/CD YAML pipelines through GitLab CI/CD workflow and GitHub Actions. I am creating the end-to-end CI/CD pipeline from development to deployment and monitoring all of this. Azure Boards is easier than Jira for my understanding because there are very easy points to manage the Agile methodology which we work on. Because it is a GUI, sometimes the process may take a few minutes more than the CLI process since the backend is running the exact CLI, but we are commanding through the GUI. There is definitely a time lag, but it is more secure. Microsoft Azure DevOps pipelines work very seamlessly rather than other CI/CD pipelines, as of my understanding. The downside is that the process may take more time when deploying some clusters, Kubernetes, Azure AKS service, or some vast microservice architecture deployments. There may be a little bit of lag I feel, though I cannot tell very strictly that this is a disadvantage, but sometimes it takes a little more time than other cloud infrastructures. All the major things are done by GUI, which is somewhat a little slow. However, if considering automations, process, monitoring, and provisioning, then it is the best cloud service across all the other service providers. Our implementation is a hybrid cloud. Microsoft Azure DevOps is definitely easily scalable. I have worked on many Kubernetes infrastructures and microservice deployments, and I have seen that replication is very good because it is very easy. The replication process is very straightforward. I definitely advocate for using less code because it is very time-consuming. If using GCP or Amazon Web Service, there is more interaction related to work over the CLI process. In terms of Microsoft Azure DevOps, there are many things done by the GUI, which is the best part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is really very easy, and the documentation provided by the solution is some of the best documentation that I've seen in the last years, with tutorials, videos, and step-by-step instructions that cover basically all of the situations that you can see when you are installing."
"The solution is fast and very accessible."
"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."
"The support is even better than the tool. It's incredible. The technical support that they have wonderful."
"I would recommend this solution; I like Azure DevOps."
"If you are working with Microsoft products like Office 365 the best cloud solution would be on Azure services."
"The most valuable feature is that it's fully integrated, where we have a single place to do everything that we need."
"We tried other tools, but Azure DevOps has a richer toolset, and it fits in better with our process."
"This solution works with other Microsoft solutions pretty easily, it was easy to integrate everything into all the other tools that we were using, and it integrates very seamlessly."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps has helped our organization from having completely automated builds."
"Azure DevOps combines all of them together, and it beats all of them at everything they do."
"It's a great product for the CI/CD process."
 

Cons

"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."
"They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options."
"The pricing could be lower."
"When converting to DevOps, it was difficult to map."
"It should have security features for scanning the code and checking it for vulnerability and security. Currently, I am using other tools for this. It should also have integration with other tools to improve security."
"It lacks integration with Office 365."
"Reporting across multiple projects could be improved."
"I have not come across information for integrating this solution with others, such as ServiceNow."
"I would like to see more customization available to the administrator."
"Individually, the components are not quite as good as others in the market."
"One area of Microsoft Azure DevOps that has room for improvement is business service level metrics and visibility, which we were trying to achieve but couldn't."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"I find that the pricing is good, and it is competitive with the other vendors in the market."

"We do not pay licenses for this solution."
