Microsoft Azure DevOps Reviews

We are a product company, and we use Azure DevOps for product development. It is our backend platform, and we use it for all of our development activities.

You get a complete solution with Azure DevOps. You can do everything in one place, starting from requirement gathering until you release the product. It is a reliable, scalable, and handy product.

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. 

They have brought a lot of new collaboration features in the latest version. We haven't used those features, but they should continue to expand it more on the collaboration front so that two developers can look at the code and work at the same time. It will be helpful for working from home.

Its UI can be easier and more customer-friendly. The UI can be improved from the project management and agile perspective.

Its price can also be reduced. It would be great if they are a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing because many open-source products are currently available in the market.

I have been using DevOps within the last 12 months.

It is definitely a reliable solution. That's why we have been using it for quite some time.

It is scalable. There are no issues in terms of scalability. Currently, we have around 100 users. Its usage will definitely increase because a lot of new projects are coming.

When migrating from TFS to Azure DevOps, we didn't get great support and response from Microsoft.

Its initial setup was a little complex for us. We had been using TFS for quite some time, and migration was a bit difficult for us. We didn't get great support and response from Microsoft. We had limited resources in terms of support, and that's why it took us longer to figure out how to migrate from TFS.

It has an annual subscription. It can be cheaper for partners. Many open-source products are available in the market, and it would be great if they can be a little bit more competitive in terms of pricing. A lot of startups are looking for an open-source, free, or cheap solution. If they can accommodate such requirements, it will be good for the product in the long run.

I would rate Microsoft Azure DevOps an eight 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. 

The company that we were working with was in development using a Microsoft platform. We used Azure to integrate the complete project management and DevOps work.

This solution works with other Microsoft solutions pretty easily. It was easy to integrate everything into all the other tools that we were using. It integrates very seamlessly.

I have not come across information for integrating this solution with others, such as ServiceNow. I am not sure if the integration would be straightforward to implement. There should be readily available information to accomplish these integrations.

I have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The project that we were using the solution for was a small implementation, I cannot fully comment on how scalable it is. I did not have enough data to comment if it was good. However, we did not have any issues.

The customer support is good.

The installation time of this solution depends on the environment it is being implemented in. We had a couple of projects that took around two weeks of implementation. This included the whole integration of the DevOps and everything together.

We had an expert that did the implementation of the solution for us. He did not face any problems.

There is a license for this solution.

We plan to continue offering this product to our customers and I would recommend it.

I rate Microsoft Azure DevOps a seven out of ten.

We are an agile shop. We use it to build our sprints and for our user stories. We have everything aligned in epics and we track all of our requirements and our velocity.

We are still getting used to it and there is a lot that I haven't looked at yet. For me, at this early stage, the most valuable features are the basic functionality. This includes the ability to build and customize sprints.

I like the tracking and that we can monitor our velocity.

It took a bit longer to figure out, but now that we have, it's easy to use.

When converting to DevOps, it was difficult to map.

I have been using Microsoft Azure DevOps since October 2020 when we converted from Jira to DevOps.

It's stable now that it is up and running. It was a steep learning curve, but not the fault of DevOps. We did not put together adequate training.

Others in the company may have scaled this solution. I have not explored this area yet.

I have not contacted technical support.

Previously, we were using Jira. Now that DevOps is running, I find that for what I am doing, does the same things as Jira. The main difference is in naming convention and layout.

I wasn't part of the conversion from Jira to DevOps but it was a painful process. We lost data, things didn't map. My Scrum Master who used it was not happy with the process.

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

I have many microservices, and I am using Azure DevOps to deploy my microservices and build a global platform for payments.

Azure Pipeline and Azure Release are most valuable. I use Azure DevOps through pipeline and release.

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.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. Currently, we have 400 users, and they are DevOps engineers and developers.

They have helped me with the problems. They are very good.

I have only used Azure DevOps.

It is very simple to install. Its deployment takes a very short time.

I would recommend this solution. I like Azure DevOps.

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

We implement this solution to those wanting to improve their processes to make their business function better.

Some of the valuable features are the functionality and the wide range of capabilities.

Not all companies use the same methodology which could limit the use of this solution.

I have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The stability of the solution is great.

I have found the scalability good. We have approximately four specialists and ten testers using the solution in our organization.

I would recommend this solution to others if they have tools with Microsoft and the proper infrastructure because not all customers work with this methodology in the development team.

I rate Microsoft Azure DevOps a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for continuous integration. It provides us with strategic analysis. We use it to create and deploy virtual machines. In short, we mainly use it for integration and deployment.

Currently, there are five to ten of us working on conception. Soon, there will be more than 200 of us using this solution. 

The most interesting subject for me is the deployment part where you build virtual machines and enable them to learn. That's interesting to me.

As I'm in the very early stages of this story, this is a hard question for me to answer. However, I think that the integration is to some extent, immature.

Overall, so far we have no major issues to report. 

I have been evaluating this solution for roughly six to eight months. 

The initial setup was quite straightforward.

The licensing costs are reasonable. 

We also evaluated GitHub and GitLab. We actually have one deployment that is already ongoing in GitLab. 

Currently, we're evaluating both GitLab and Microsoft. We're trying to get a sense of which one is better for us. 

Overall, I would give this solution a rating of eight out of ten. 

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.

We use this solution for cloud administration, cloud infrastructure, the database, as an application server, development, and more.

I like the cloud infrastructure of Microsoft Azure DevOps.

I would like to see new features added.

My corporation is currently using this solution.

I have had no issues with the stability of this solution.

Scalability-wise, I have not had any problems.

Everything is fine with our internal customers and our corporation.

Technical support is good.

I don't have a problem with the pricing.

I would rate Microsoft Azure DevOps a ten 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.
