Overall Satisfaction with Azure DevOps Services
We use Azure DevOps/VSTS for the entire agile approach to software development at the organization I work for. We use Azure Boards for managing work in sprints, providing us with live features for planning & retrospectives. We use the Azure Repos feature for Git version control of our code and for PR processes, and pipelines & releases for building, linting, and testing code & deploying code to multiple environments via a continuous integration approach. We use Azure Artifacts to host our NuGet packages to be used by multiple projects for code reusability.
- Git repositories feature is fully featured with a friendly web interface.
- Azure pipelines & releases are very flexible for CI/CD practices.
- Azure Boards allows linking work items to code and for a closer relationship between code & the sprint rather than using a secondary piece of software like JIRA/Trello.
- User interface looks nice but it can often be quite hard to find things that you need.
- Documentation can be limited.
Azure DevOps provides a full workflow from planning through to development through to production. After the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft, GitHub is becoming more fully-featured with the features being ported becoming more polished in the transition. Both are great services, but it might be worth comparing and considering the option of GitHub.
