Overall Satisfaction with Azure DevOps Services

We use ADO to manage our entire pipeline of work. Backlog items, tasks, and bugs, code repositories and pull requests, code reviews, pipeline management, releases and CI/CD, testing, deployment, and oversight. Overall, our whole process depends on the capabilities that DevOps brings to the table and wouldn't be the same, otherwise.

Pros

  • Backlog management
  • Build / Release management
  • Code review and pull requests

Cons

  • Tracing where security rules are coming from
  • wiki management
  • Mass-editing values (adding tasks, etc...)
  • Backlog management
  • Code repositories and PR review
  • Pipelines
  • Faster development
  • Better control over team velocity
  • Better visibility of work remaining
Jira is super clunky and doesn't behave in a modern fashion. monday.com is too flexible and doesn't provide enough feature set. AWS is the most competitive, but it's hard to wrap your brain around all of the features and offerings provided by amazon. ADO does a better job of making the 'main' elements visible...

Do you think Azure DevOps Services delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Azure DevOps Services's feature set?

Yes

Did Azure DevOps Services live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Azure DevOps Services go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Azure DevOps Services again?

Yes

Definitely great for developing .net applications and keeping track of a backlog in a SCRUM environment. I think managing a backlog and the associated schedule are also very strong.

I would think that managing an application with a non-microsoft environment would be less appropriate (ie: a node.js back-end application with a react front end, for instance...)
