Azure DevOps Server

Best for flow job management

Vorteile:

Best software to manage the tasks for a team, to organize the sprints and to check if the team is working well

Azure DevOps Server, a complete platform for version control, project management and much more.

Kommentare: Azure DevOps Server performs excellently for experienced software development teams or those who need a bit of organization to increase their service level and efficiency. We can easily plan our work, collaborate on code development, and build and deploy applications without overlapping code.The access and permissions management groups roles and organizes who can do each part of the work, in general its performance is consistent and based on the best programming standards.

Vorteile:

Azure DevOps Server, ensures that the continuous delivery of software is maintained with high quality standards and this entire process is highly automated. We can have group visibility into the compilation, testing, configuration and deployment of the software, from a controlled compilation environment to finally bringing an application to production that generates value for customers.With Azure DevOps Server version control, developers will not need to have backups of multiple copies of the code on their computer, this minimizes the risk of work loss in code production.

Nachteile:

Azure DevOps Server is an excellent platform, which requires a level of maturity and organization of the work team to really take advantage of all the functionalities, since in itself it produces organization, but additionally we must have work teams willing to invest a reasonable amount of time in learning the use of the platform, designing the best mechanism and procedure that adapts to the needs of the organization and implementing a successful configuration.

Clunky but worth the work

Kommentare: Overall I think it is an asset to any company but you really want to commit to using this as your source of truth and by doing that you need to put in the effort to do so

Vorteile:

I appreciate how Azure DevOps Server effectively captures everything needed in development builds. Its customization capabilities allow it to be tailored to the specific needs of any team. Once a business establishes a clear process, the platform becomes easy to follow

Nachteile:

Using Azure DevOps Server can sometimes feel quite clunky. It demands a comprehensive understanding of both business processes and operational frameworks. The initial setup is often time-consuming and requires significant expertise to configure the system to a point where users can log in and intuitively know exactly what they need to do.

Heads Up Operations

Kommentare: Azure DevOps is the future where we don't interact with actual on metal machines - but instead we interact with dedicated boxes for very integrations.

Vorteile:

Powerful Agile based integrated workflows. This works with everyone - from Scrum Masters to DevOps engineers to product owners.

Nachteile:

It is very high learning curve. There are large volume books about using this toolset - but the potential of this tool is undisputed.

Track, measure and deploy

Kommentare: We have streamlined our sprints and our teams. we are accurately allocating the correct points per person and teams, while hitting our timelines.

Vorteile:

It does take a little bit of time to familiarise yourself with this software, but when you do, boy do you get a lot of functionality. Deploying code directly from devops. Measure burn down. measure individuals or groups in terms of tasks, features, stories and epics. Accurately plan your sprints and track every detail.

Nachteile:

While the software is actually easy to use, you need to spend a good amount of time playing around, making mistakes etc. But once that is out the way, its really good intuitive software.

Best Project Management Tool

Vorteile:

I am using this since more then 2 years and i found that it provides everything which needs to manage particular project. Azure DevOps provide repository management where you can place your source code. You can create build and release pipelines as well which automate your software development cycle.

Nachteile:

I don't have anything to dislike about Azure DevOps.

Azure DevOps Server review by Healthcare Software Developer

Kommentare: Satisfied user for team of 5 - 20, managing version and tracking bugs.

Vorteile:

The value-to-cost ratio is great and the intuitive UI makes it easier to change.

Nachteile:

Advanced features required Knowledge Transfer and Training

Azure DevOps - Project Management

Kommentare: I have been utilizing the Azure DevOps server for the past two years, during which our team has successfully managed projects by updating task statuses and providing comments. This platform has been instrumental in managing open items within our projects, and we rely on it daily to discuss pending and upcoming tasks.

Vorteile:

Azure DevOps Server seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft tools like Visual Studio and offers extensive support for a diverse range of programming languages and frameworks. It also serves as a collaborative platform for team members, providing them with features like team dashboards, code reviews, and pull requests. Additionally, it supports continuous integration and deployment, which enables teams to automate their build and release processes.

Nachteile:

The bugs in Azure DevOps related to the dashboard are that the features are very simple, the visuals are limited and insufficient.

Awesome project lifecycle management solution

Kommentare: When we were using Teamcity, we encountered numerous issues, such as not being able to locate application packages. This issue has been resolved since we migrated to Azure DevOps, which provides a centralized location for managing our application's repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and more...

Vorteile:

This platform provides excellent features for managing Git repositories and deployment pipelines. Additionally, the Artifacts feature allows you to manage Nuget packages.

Nachteile:

So far, I do not observe any problems with the system. However, the user interface and complexity of the system can be enhanced. Microsoft also provides excellent documentation on how to use the solution.

Work like apro!

Vorteile:

It's easier to useIt's overall quality is good

Nachteile:

It's doesn't easily integrate with other softwares

Azure DevOps Server - Manage your Project

Kommentare: Using this DevOps server we managing our projects and codes for the last 2 years.

Vorteile:

Using this Azure DevOps server we can easily create projects, tasks and manage them. Also, we can upload our project codes to this server and control the version of the code. We can create a dashboard as well.

Nachteile:

Dashboard creation has fewer features. If they add more features like Power BI it will help us.

Websites that gives me work

Vorteile:

Tracking user stories is better and we can group them in different paths and areas and also create different projects which is helpful. Bug are easy to track and we can also relate stories to bigger story or to some bug or epic which helps in visualizing relationship and task on different projects. We can also query our way out for items. It also has Repos which again can be linked to different work items and we can specifically track for this bug, which line of code changed. Azure pipelines automation is also useful for CI/CD.

Nachteile:

There are less graphing options when you a create a query for work items. Wiki is not efficient, its better to use SharePoint instead. We have created many epics, but to map every other US against them doesn't give a better view, instead tags work better. Repos has many missing features, like code check bots, which can give you code smell, test cases etc, but we have to make custom scripts for all that.

An excellent integrated application lifecycle system

Kommentare: Overall, the experience has been great especially since we are a .NET shop. Shipping of product is easier and the team is able to master the entire application suite quickly which increased team velocity.

Vorteile:

The most important feature of this software for us is how we have all the tools in one place. This makes it easy to plan, develop, deploy and manage our software. The interface is also friendly and navigation is easy. The tight integration with Microsoft Azure Cloud also enhances the easy of deploying changes rapidly.

Nachteile:

While it has great feature, the tight integration with Microsoft Azure Cloud makes it a bit difficult to switch to other cloud offerings if the need arises.

Great tool for project management

Kommentare: Great tool for project management, very useful for product based companies having big products under the portfolio. For smaller teams and companies limit the features for better efficiency.

Vorteile:

It helps immensely in every single phase of the software development life cycle starting from inception to release. Few likes are: 1. Task creation and assignment 2. Workflows 3. Source control for every single line of code. Version history of each line of code by which one can track what was changed and what was before the change. We can see who are working on the page. 4. Branching: Very useful for product based companies like us where we can have multiple versions of product. TFS helps maintaining multiple branches for multiple versions. 5. Code sharing: Multiple developers can do the coding with sharing mode in TFS. 6. Agile process: TFS streamlines agile process as one can maintain code review checklist, task status tracking, review list & notifications. 7. Shelve: Code shelve is also a great feature of TFS with which code can be shelved and so can be sent to the reviewer without code check-in. 8. Build automation to release

Nachteile:

1. When multiple users will check out the same code file and do the changes at the same line then code merging will result be an issue. Though this issue won't come if multiple users focus upon different sections of the code. 2. Once TFS is implemented with so many features then it is confusing for the users who required only minimal features.

Cheap and Easy solution from MS

Kommentare: i like working with Azure DevOps. all my small and medium projects run on Azure DevOps but the industry is more aligned towards Jenkins but a great number of companies have started adopting it.

Vorteile:

Easy integration with Azure Git Easy integration with Github Deployment support with AWS S3, EC2 Cloud front, etc Free feature

Nachteile:

resources are very less to do certain complex deployment setup UI/ Process is complicated and needs a great deal of learning before setting it up. whereas its kind of easy with other products. but once setup its works are very smooth. another issue I don't like is they keep deprecating old frameworks so you are kind of forced to upgrade to a new version of apps.

This is a Great Tracking Tool

Kommentare: We love it. Personally, coming from a company that did not have a ticket management system like this, TFS has been an incredible tool.

Vorteile:

The amount of data that you can capture in a ticket is incredible. Details about the issue, issue type, attachments, links to other tickets, code details, merge information, etc. We use this to manage all the work that our team does. We can easily view tickets and see their status. The search functionality is powerful as well as the reporting functionality.

Nachteile:

TFS, or Azure DevOps Server, can be very overwhelming at first. There is a lot to take in for our new team members. Also the time tracking is not as robust as we would like. We use it, but are not fully able to realize the value that could be there.

Best ALM tool

Kommentare: I would like to recommend this tool/service as we got enormous benefits from it. We were able to collaborate easily while working around the globe, share our code and get reviews. Build and deploy easily with CI/CD pipelines.

Vorteile:

As a Devops team came across many occurrences where we faced challenges managing release management, build management and version controlling. But all thanks to Azure Devops Server and it features all of these things become easy to control and more importantly in efficient way. It features such as CI/CD, work item tracking, Manual and Automated testing are very useful.

Nachteile:

We do face some kind of challenges while on boarding into it. Some of the projects are new but majority is of the new one's. While migrating from old system to new faced some challenges here and there. In order to do that we have to develop our own utilities. But apart from that i don't face any major issues with it.

We switched from a very outdated version of SourceSafe to DevOps and we love it

Kommentare: This is our main source control solution. Easy to assign permissions to projects based on users. Integrated with our Office 365 AD accounts. One piece of our solution for going full cloud, this and Azure.

Vorteile:

Easy to navigate web interface. All of our source code managed from a cloud based serviced. No on site server needed anymore, we moved to full cloud.

Nachteile:

Getting started was a little rough. It was hard to follow the documentation we found online. Eventually with enough playing around we got it to do what we needed.

Review for Azure Devops

Kommentare: I have used Azure Devops in my project regularly to run Cypress test scripts that were stored in Azure repo. Also, I had configured Junit reporting to make the reports more readable to the client. The reporting and dashboard view of the ADO was liked and appreciated by the client.

Vorteile:

Azure Devops can be used to run automated test scripts using Azure Pipelines without any human intervention. Code stored in Azure Repo or other compatible repo can be executed using Azure Devops. Configuring the Azure Pipeline by providing all the installation, build and execution commands in a yaml file is a one time activity. This pipeline can now be run at required schedules. Also, various reporting features like Junit reporting, etc can be integration with Azure Pipeline runs to make the reports more readable and produce graphs of the passed and failed test scripts.

Nachteile:

Training is required to start working on Azure Devops as it is bit complicated for people using ADO for the first time. The tool navigation is not user friendly. Also, there are performance issues with the tool at times.

Azure Dev Ops - Manage your Projects efficiently

Kommentare: I was managing the overall RPA lifecycle with this tool. Be it different tollgate, bug tracking or having discussions, it is way too easy and user friendly.

Vorteile:

This tool is super easy to use with amazing interface and quite customisable. You can manage the overall project lifecycle with this tool and it also helps you create insightful dashboards within ADO.

Nachteile:

It has met all my needs and has never disappointed me but there is only one thing which I would like to improve is on its connectivity via Microsoft Excel.

Azure DevOps Server a complete DevOps Solution

Kommentare: Azure DevOps helps in to deliver the release faster as quick feedback on written code make the process fast. Using Azure DevOps Server for new development is highly recommended.

Vorteile:

Azure DevOps Server provide the complete solution for the software life-cycle development. Azure Board help in planning and progress of the development cycle. Azure Pipelines help in configuring the build, test and deploy using Continues Integration & Delivery. Managing the permission of Repo is more user friendly with new Azure DevOps Server interface. Integration with Docker and Slack product is also help in smooth collaboration.

Nachteile:

Azure Pipeline setup are complex for large product and can take long time for configuration. DevOps support server need to fast in term of response.

Team foundation review

Kommentare: If I talk about the experiences I am very much satisfied with this software. We can easily track the problem history or can do code review easily before check in to main repository.

Vorteile:

TFS IS useful software for code repository. Most I like that many developer can work on same time for one screen or problem. You can add work item for any problem to track or track the changes.

Nachteile:

Fleaxibity to add the code to server or create maximum versions for different directory of codes. Most I like multiple people can work on same problem and can easily integrate code with different version and check in the code.

Project and code management software

Kommentare: Best project management software for large projects and different teams working together.

Vorteile:

Easiness to use, checking of code and logs of every change is recorded, manager can check each and every progress of the whole project under development and deployment and upgrade. Best to use for large projects and teams. Really good working with it.

Nachteile:

As such no cons appears after using it for some time long.

Azure Devops Review
