Pros

Great integration with Microsoft ecosystem and azure AD. Great integration of repos (GIT) and the pipeline features are very powerful to deploy to Azure!

Cons

Azure boards and tests need a complete revamp. The tool also needs a collaborative space like competitors such as Confluence. Also, separating repos licensing is very bad (you'll need to pay more for people to access repos).

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

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Pros

It not only provides comprehensive tools for collaboration between development & operations, but also helps users with great features in test management. By supporting test planning, execution and monitoring, it helps users ensure the quality of their code.

Cons

Although it offers great features for backup and recovery, improper configuration or lack of regular backups could create a risk of information/data loss. So, the users must have a robust backup & disaster recovery process in place for safety objectives.

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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

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...

Pros

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

Cons

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.
