Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System
We are moving our entire code base from on-prem TFS to Visual Studio Team System(VSTS) with GIT repositories. We are taking the opportunity to move to a complete continuous integration solution. We also feel that moving to GIT will improve code quality with the way that branches are lightweight and how code reviews are a fundamental part of the way you do things in GIT.
- Integration with Visual Studio
- Option to use GIT or TFS repositories.
- Plugins galore.
- I think the documentation lags too far behind the actual product.
- Troubleshooting could be easier.
- There are some glaring pieces missing or are just obscure to use. The way you publish a built website is pretty bizarre.
- Since we are still transitioning, there hasn't been a real impact.
Our TFS was dated and in some ways was quite crude. VSTS is thoroughly modern and I don't have to worry about updating it since MS is always updating VSTS. Also, VSTS has better integration with other products such as JIRA than our older TFS would. I am sure you could integrate TFS with anything, but it was some serious work.
