Overall Satisfaction with Azure DevOps Services

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Azure DevOps for the CI CD of our applications and the scrum boards. We also create artifacts and consume those artifacts in our applications All our reports are also available on it. With another extension, we can add our time tracking for items in the PBI. To get an overview of open PR, we configured some dashboards.

Alternatives Considered

Jira Software and Trello

Trello is simple to use, but it's only for a Kanban board. Jira might be the same, but I don't really have enough experience with Jira to fully compare them. When I used it, it missed certain functionalities that I was used to in Azure DevOps. Visually it's a lot different too.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great to use when you use Scrum, Repos, and CI/CD. This way, you don't need multiple applications, but you can just use Azure DevOps. For development, I find it pretty good. You can link your items to your Pull request, and you will be able to see what changes have been made. The only downside is that if you want to make your board visible to a lot of stakeholders, it won't be that easy.
