Overall Satisfaction with Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server)

The biggest and best use of Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server) is the gathering and management of user stories for development, coupled with the other elements of information sharing and the metrics it can provide. The ability to track bugs, and the fixes to those bugs, and generally track the evolution of your agile development group is a major plus. While primarily focused on the development organization, Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server) is used by the lines of business by product owners and their associates.
  • User story management
  • Integrations with other products
  • Reporting
  • It does not necessarily play very well with non-Microsoft stacks
  • Upgrades have been cumbersome; however, with the cloud offering, that is mostly off the table as a major issue
  • Some of the search functionality is unclear and difficult to use
  • Could have more pre-built templates; it offers so much it can be challenging at times
  • Ability to centralize project management for large and complex development projects
  • Tight integration with Microsoft stack
  • Ability to manage the development (SDLC) pipeline
  • We're able to develop products faster as a result of using Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server)
  • It's allowed the team to stay focused on the tasks at hand rather than splintering off on other, less important tasks
  • Everyone is accountable with the reporting features
