Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Team Foundation Server is used for version control of Microsoft .net applications, SSIS, SSRS. Also, TFS is used for tracking tasks, bugs and change requests.
Pros
  • Version Control
  • Track Bugs, Change Requests, Tasks
Cons
  • Compare versions of SSIS can be improved
  • Merging of the SSIS Code can also be improved
Likelihood to Recommend
Team Foundation Server is a very a very good tool when you are using with Visual Studio. It's very easy to check in/check out the code to the Team Foundation Server. One can easily check the Task, Bugs and any change request items very easily from the Visual Studio. One can also check this items directly on the web browser as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Team Foundation Server in the Information Systems Department in our company. All developers have access to Team Foundation Server to do code versioning. We use it integrated with Visual Studio to check-in and check-out our projects' code. We also use the web interface to navigate between code versions and to manually download code when necessary.
Pros
  • Integration with Microsoft products, like SharePoint, IIS, Visual Studio
  • Users are able to access via desktop client, web browser and through Visual Studio
  • Code version control
Cons
  • Bad UX and UI in the web interface
  • Merging code is a very hard task
  • Development in branches is also hard to achieve
  • Not so easy to upgrade server version
Likelihood to Recommend
TFS is well suited to developers and teams that work with Microsoft technologies and products. For other scenarios, alternatives like Git can deliver more powerful and reliable features. Also, developing software in branches is very difficult, as well as merging code. These tasks needs to be carefully planned to avoid broken code and headaches in your company.

TFS is great for a Microsoft Shop

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Team Foundation Server (TFS) is being used for source control and ream project, task, bug etc., tracking.
Pros
  • Import work items in Excel and change in bulk. Then publish to TFS. This is the most efficient feature of TFS.
  • Change Set description editing even after check-in is committed. Link work items with each other.
  • Branching with more options from TFS command.
Cons
  • Use different version from different branch and build on top that - This feature is missing. This feature we can see in Clear Case.
  • We cannot query well on History field. We should be able to create query where History contents are specifically given by words or phrase.
  • Branch & Label Diagram is also missing or may be I am not aware of how to do that.
Likelihood to Recommend
Project Tracking, Member Access along with source control - this is the most accepted feature for using Team Foundation Server.

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.
Pros
  • You can integrate it effortlessly with almost all Microsoft products
  • Supports Agile and can be used for version control
  • Bug tracking
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • I feel that because it's a Microsoft product, it integrates better with other Microsoft products too. Since mine is more of a Microsoft-based company, it's not a problem for me, but for others, you might want to consider this before making any decision
  • The user interface could have been better
  • Agile boards can be better
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.
