Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System

We use VSTS as source repository for all the web projects. We also manage and assign the tasks of the development team.
The continuous integration and the continuous deployment are provided with a mix of on premise installations and Azure instances.
The project management monitor the projects advancement with customized reports.
  • Easy to install.
  • Full integrated: source control, task management, report tools.
  • Plugin for VS, Eclipse, Rider and many others.
  • Backup and restore is really slow.
  • One tool for source control, testing, task management and reporting.
We are a Microsoft technology based company and the 80% of our projects are .NET and are developed with Visual Studio. The VSTS is the natural partner of our development day by day work. Our machines are running Windows Server 2012 and 2016 with Sql Server, so with VSTS we can continue to stay and to manage a known stack.
VSTS is recommended in a scenario where a very lot of projects have to be managed on premise. The possibility to mix the on premise version with the online version allows to create customized scenario to easily adapt to every teams and technologies.
The task management integrated in the IDE is a plus.
