Dell Technologies uses Team Foundation Server for managing multiple projects across the North America region and rolling out in all other regions. If you use Visual Studio for development, TFS, or its online equivalent VSTS, you can have a fairly seamless end-to-end integration. Out of the box, it provides code management, testing, work hierarchy in agile formats, automated build, and deployment.

Dell manages source code, project reporting, engineering progress tracking and release management for agile software development. Microsoft TFS is also leveraged by the Product Management group to define and manage product requirements and managing the technical backlog. TFS really makes it easier to perform an end-to-end integration, reporting, tracking, code management, automated build, and deployment, etc.
  • TFS makes it easier to build technical features and acceptance criteria that different team members of Product Manager, Engineering, Quality Assurance, and Release Management.
  • It enables the product managers to review technical backlog, prioritize features and go to market that helps improve key performance indicators.
  • It provides seamless integration with Microsoft products like SharePoint, IIS, Visual Studio that helps integrate and exchange data.
Cons
  • TFS UI could improve like some of its major competitors with fewer options on the same UI page. TFS tries to offer too many options on the same UI.
  • Development in branches is hard to achieve and TFS has a room for improvement.
  • Integration with non-Microsoft is difficult. TFS could provide easier integration with other product lines to improve acceptability.
Team Foundation Server is well suited in product management
  • Easier to build a technical backlog.
  • Create user stories, features, EPICs, assign tasks and acceptance criteria, etc.
  • Make a Product Manger's and engineering teams' life easier in meeting and tracking.
  • Project managers can easily track the work and create reporting.

TFS is used across the organization as an Application Lifecycle Management tool. This addresses the problem of needing a central way to demonstrate the status of projects/applications.
  • Security
  • Reliability
  • Scalability
Cons
  • TFS templates are not as flexible as the business requires
Well suited for any IT team. Great way to track and manage the software lifecycle for projects, whether for one team or many teams.

TFS is great for a Microsoft Shop

We use it for our software development team. Team size is 8. It is being used as source control for .NET applications and as a continuous integration server. It is being used on site and also by our offshore partner developer team in Mexico. It helps us track versioning and collaborate with the peace of mind that we control the code.
  • Continuous integration when the team is using azure is really easy.
  • It's fairly intuitive to use.
  • Azure or IIS deployment is very easy.
Cons
  • The project management/scrum piece is hard to learn.
  • The Wikipedia functionality it provides isn't very useful for lack of features.
  • It takes a REALLY long time to check in a large number of newly added files.
  • If your file paths get too long, TFS gives you errors.
Team Foundation Server (TFS) is suited for anyone working in .NET. It's not appropriate otherwise. It's really as simple as that I think.

You could use some other source control with .NET but it integrates so well with the rest of the Microsoft family and is so reasonably priced, there'd be no need to.

A great product for CI/CD

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

We use the Azure Dev Ops server throughout the IT department of our organization. It is utilized by Business Analysts, Scrum Masters, Developers, and QA. We have Git integration enabled and it has been an awesome experience with its integration to our source code. I especially love the built-in ability in the latest version to perform source code wide string searches. This makes it exceptionally easy to find code references and delve into new areas quickly. Aside from source control, it is our UI interface for all of our SCRUM project management needs. We create all of our tasks on the work items board and it makes it easy to see the progress of the overall team. Overall it's just been a great experience and I can't think of any complaints.
  • Git integration has been fantastic.
  • Provides a convenient UI for managing the SCRUM process.
  • Built-in Code Review feature and completion policies.
Cons
  • I wish I could default to a specific dashboard on load.
Great for source control, project management, and code reviews. It is really critical to put in place code review policies with required reviewers before a pull request can ever be merged into a target branch. As a senior developer sometimes I feel this can be cumbersome but there have been a few instances where I have caught a major error in a pull request and was able to prevent the code from being merged.
