    Azure DevOps is good to use if you are all-in on the Microsoft Azure stack. It's fully integrated across Azure so it is a point-and-click for most of what you will need to achieve. If you are new to Azure make sure you get some outside experience to help you otherwise it is very easy to overcomplicate things and go down the wrong track, or for you to manually create things that come out of the box.

    Beyond Compare is extremely good at the task of comparisons, whether that is text file comparisons or folder comparisons. It does a great job of easily highlighting the differences for users, and giving them the option of merging (in the case of text files) or synchronizing (in the case of folders.) In either case, no one on my team has ever had any reason to reach for another different tool.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Reporting Integration- Azure boards provides Kanban and other dashboard, their templates for easy management of project.
    • Project Pipeline- easy integration and development of CI/CD pipelines, helped in testing, releasing project artifacts.
    • Version Control- Integration with Git and code IDE made it easy to share, review our code, fix bugs and do testing.

    • Folder diffing. It allows you to see differences in deeply nested folder structures.
    • File diffing. It allows you to see differences in files no matter their complexity.
    • Diffing rules. It allows you to set rules to include/exclude files, folders and lines from your comparison.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • Can add more build templates for specific technology requirements
    • Can have more features in dashboards which can help dev teams stream line their tasks and priorities
    • Can have raise alarm feature in case of any sort of failure in devops pipeline execution

    • For date formatting discrepancies the software does not automatically mark the dates as equivalent; for instance ‘2019/10/15’ vs. ‘15-OCT-2019’. This would be considered a difference.
    • The columns/report must be ordered similarly. If extra data is available in one file, it should be removed or extra rows will be marked as differences.
    • For spreadsheet comparison, the user must save the file on the proper tab and then “recompare” within the tool. There is no way to switch between sheets in the software.

    Because we are a Microsoft Gold Partner we utilize most of their software and we have so much invested in Team Foundation Server now it would take a catastrophic amount of time and resources to switch to a different product.

    Usability
    Microsoft
    For standard users the interface is friendly. but if you are a manager some tools are a little confusing to use, like the query system that you always need to create from scratch. Templates should be more helpful for queries and for standard procedures that you need to duplicate PBIs over time. The search history of Work Items is a little painful to use.

    Again, given the intuitive nature of this program, there is barely any learning curve needed. It is simple, reliable, accurate, and just one of those tools you always have with you and rarely think about until you don't have it. Then it is a case of OMG what was I thinking? This program is just very easy to use, and that makes it more valuable to me than some of my other software tools that cost significantly more.

    I have not had to use the support for Azure DevOps Server. There have never been any issues where I was not able to figure it out or quickly resolve. Our Scrum Master has used support before though, and the service has always been prompt and clear with a customer-focus

    I have never needed support for this product other than learning how to use a new feature I was not familiar with. User forums and user groups that have used this product for their own purposes have always sufficed for anything that I needed help using with the product. Some of the features could be a little better outlined, but overall very easy to use.

    Do research beforehand and, if possible, do a trial run before implementing into production environment.

    In my opinion, DevOps covers the development process end to end way better than Jira or GitHub. Both competitors are nice in their specific fields but DevOps provides a more comprehensive package in my opinion. It is still crazy to see that the whole suite can be used for free. The productivity increase we realized with DevOps is worth real money!

    We've tried many: Code Compare, Meld, UltraCompare, and WinMerge. None of them have the depth of features and speed to handle the work we throw at Beyond Compare. The multi-tabbed interface allows us to sync multiple servers at the same time. It understands multiple file types, metadata, and encodings. It's the best tool for the job.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • It has streamlined the pipeline and project management for our agile effort.
    • It has helped our agile team get organized since that is a new methodology being leveraged within the Enterprise.
    • The calendar has improved visibility into different OOOs across the project team since we all come from different departments across the larger organization.

    • It's made it quick and easy to compare and synchronize directories when restoring a backup or copying code from one environment to another one.
    • There are times when it would be a painstaking task to manually compare or sync two different directories, but BeyondCompare made it a trivial task.
