Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) is our entire enterprise deployment strategic platform. Coming from a VSTS/TFS background, it's a natural choice. Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) is used for scrum product backlog management, task assignment, test case management, bug tracking, source version management, change review, and continuous integration and deployment. It's a great ecosystem and with git hub acquisition, the product is very versatile and future proof.
  • Microsoft ecosystem with one-stop solution for Agile/CICD
  • Easier integration with IDE
  • UI-based/YAML both pipeline formats supported
  • Very flexible and supports all kind of deployment
  • Should support non-Microsoft and open-source ecosystems in an easier way
  • License costs
  • Scrum boards and sprint analytics can be improved to be on par with the market
  • Notification and workflow customization should be flexible
All Microsoft ecosystem products are well integrated and support easier build automation. Especially if you use TFS and Visual Studio, this is very well suited. They are flexible in bringing open-source software build supports and have a great marketplace with lots of Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) extensions available.
  • Continuous integration and deployment
  • Scrum/Kannan story board
  • Source version control
  • Test manager
  • Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) is easy to set up and very developer friendly, thus drastically reducing the implementation timeline and helping you get started with CICD quickly
  • Has brought in different features and integrations--scrum management, Microsoft teams integration, and VDE support are all fantastic and appreciated by most of our developers
  • Helps you manage your agile project easily
The greatest strength of Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) is that it's a one-stop solution for all agile project management instead of setting up bits of different software put together for each and every need. Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) has a great ecosystem of products that are very well integrated and most of them are in use by my organization.
The support team is well trained to help with troubleshooting issues and responds quickly but generally couldn't influence much to bring feature enhancement to their roadmap as we need.
Yes, we purchased a premium plan.

Yes, they are very reliable and help in time.
We used to have issues with non-Microsoft products, which are from other vendors.
The Microsoft support team is very knowledgeable. They really went above and beyond to help us have success in that project.
