Likelihood to Recommend 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.

From Developer's machine where the code is developed to the production environment where the code is meant to run it take care of complete flow within itself.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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!
