Overall Satisfaction with Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS)
We are using Azure DevOps across most teams, leveraging both Kanban and Scrum methodologies. The tool is used for SDLC workflow, source control, and documentation.
Pros
- Source control integration.
- Templates for multiple Agile types.
Cons
- Document management (implement something similar to Sharepoint libraries).
- Streamlined permissions structure.
- Streamlined the SDLC process.
- Provided flexibility when determining the best Agile approach based on the team structure.
DevOps is more full-featured than its on-prem predecessor or any of the above with the possible exception of the Atlassian suite. I would say those two are roughly comparable. However, the ease of integration is much better with DevOps and other Microsoft products (although it has been a couple of years since I reviewed Atlassian). Again, if you are Microsoft-centric, DevOps is a no-brainer. If you are not, then Atlassian is definitely worth a look.
