Azure DevOps Server Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Azure DevOps Server makes integration between different areas with the agile process, in my case I use Kanban to guide a hardware design team and Azure lets me create several features for each part of our PCB design process, and I can manage how each person on the team is going on, review cases are much easier. I can link all tasks from the first requirement to the reports from the qualification tests. Each project has an epic structure that lets us navigate over all projects and create multiple teams in the same workspace. I can bring a lot of metrics showing who is delaying, effort by project, and much more info that helps my board to understand if the critical tasks are being managed as requested.

Likelihood to Recommend

For an agile team, DevOps is great. Using scrum, Kanban fits perfectly into the project structure. The web interface lets anyone, anywhere, interact with work items.

The version control is great if you code, but if you design with CADs, it still lacks some link features that could help non-code documents.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used for complete ci/cd process, used to create pipelines and manage project with ado board.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for creating build pipelines to automate the complete release process and to create testing pipelines. Create and assign different task on ado board. It is also used for code analysis by integrating it with sonar . But it is less user friendly then hira board to mage the scrum and kanban board

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Azure DevOps to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of our code. We use Boards to capture our backlog and manage the work through delivery, Pipelines for our code repository, and Pipelines for CI/CD.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The firm as a whole makes use of Azure DevOps Server for project management, with its efficient capability to prioritize and approve project needs. Our IT team uses this top-notch application to streamline project management tasks like code versioning and test script administration and to make sure all of our requirements are met through thorough testing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Integrating with Visual Studio makes it easy to see where things stand in terms of different projects' requirements, and the product is great for prioritizing and approving changes as they come up. An easy-to-use tracking and testing system ensures that all criteria are met, making this a great tool for project managers trying to keep their projects within their allotted parameters.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We work according to Agile methodology and Azure DevOps Server (formerly known as TMS) helps us to track and follow the progress of our work efficiently. We use it for version control as well as to review backlog. As we are more of a Microsoft-based company, it helps us a lot since all Microsoft products can be integrated effortlessly with Azure DevOps Server which enhances user experience.

Likelihood to Recommend

Scenarios where Azure DevOps Server is well suited: When the other tools you need to use are also Microsoft products bug tracking version control (although GitHub is better) Agile management backlog management scenarios where Azure DevOps Server is not well suited: When you need to integrate services other than Microsoft owned.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Azure DevOps Server is a collaborative project management tool we used in one of our projects while working from home to collaborate among team members, it helped us to track bugs, commit codes, create user story, and various forms of reports related to project. It allows integration with our existing IDEs, version control like Git, setup the CI/CD pipelines for code testing, release and deployments.

Azure DevOps Server was very helpful to our teams while we started working remotely, helped in increasing the productivity and prototyping the projects for release without any delay. Best part of using this tool is reporting, we were able to create Kanbans dashboards for integrated reports.

Likelihood to Recommend

In our case it was best suited when we started working remotely, we were able to track everything in out projects easily, able to share our codes, give reviews for the codes and also create integration and deployment CI/CD plans for the release and testing.

It helped our team members with the productivity, early prototyping and release. Create summarised reports of different aspect of our projects.

Even in other scenarios it is one of the best tools to use for collaboration and project management. I haven't found any specific scenario where it is not appropriate.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work with an agile development team and we use DevOps for capturing and managing user stories and bugs. User stories are categorised into Epics and Features with ease, and it's a very valuable tool for planning and resource management.

Likelihood to Recommend

DevOps is great for managing backlogs, requirements and resources. I don't have enough experience with this sort of software to comment on any downsides, my use is fairly limited but, it's great for my requirements.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Managing software development across several phases can be extremely difficult due two it’s complexity. DevOps and CI/CD can help to control this complexity. However, these methodologies need software solutions that suit this agile approach. In this case Microsoft DevOps is the best suite available at the moment. We use Microsoft DevOps end to end to manage the development of a cross-platform mobile application. As said we use the suite end to end. Starting with „Azure Boards“ to derive, document, and manage backlogs; „Azure Repos“ to manage repositories and changes/change requests; ending with automating testing and pipelines with „Azures Testing“ and „Azure Pipeline“. Integration and extensibility features are used for productivity purposes as well. In this way, Azure DevOps brings together all levels of information at code in one single tool. Especially the automation options in the pipeline Tier helped us to automate delivery processes for both platforms (iOS & Android).

Likelihood to Recommend

The repro Feature “Azure Repros” was especially valuable in our use case as it was very easy to orchestrate the development of several developers via change requests. In this way, tasks/bugs execution was easy to plan and assign via boards and dashboards, and commits were documented in relation to planning objects and reviewed via the four-eye principle. Senior developers were able to oversee and review junior developers' work easily.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We leverage Azure DevOps to manage the Agile backlog of one of our biggest internal platforms. The main functionality is leveraged to track stories and move things along from requirement drafting, to design and right through the development and QA. Some other functionality that is leveraged is the calendar to ensure that we are capturing the agile team's OOOs since most of us are from various orgs/teams throughout the enterprise.

Likelihood to Recommend

Our project team uses Azure DevOps to manage the epics and stories associated with one of our biggest internal enterprise-wide tools. It easily captures all stories in a simples way, creating room to include story points (for estimations), requirement notes, and design links (once ready). Additionally, it is simple to move tickets through the various stages of the process making it easy to tell the status of any given task - the ability to color-code tickets has made it exceptionally easy for me to locate the tickets specifically created for my design team to address.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One product to cover the most common engineering activities in tech irrespective of the domain. Whether the team is in medical tech, fintech, aerospace tech, or a business process outsourcing firm, this platform has all the common tools needed in an Agile workspace with extreme collaborations across DevOps, Product, and Engineering. This gives the best centralized toolset, especially if your organization is already a Microsoft-based firm.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my capacity as an architect, the platform gives me the ability to define the architecture within a wiki. I can include details including flow, UML, and ER diagrams in the User Story of Features being defined by the Product Owner, and my engineering team can link the repository pull requests to the story being developed. My Product Owners can now view the business definitions, software architecture, code written, and QA tests performed all on one central platform.
