We are automating a lot of tasks with Azure DevOps and saving our teams a lot of time doing repetitive tasks. The ability to create workflow like pipelines has saved us days of work and continues to keep automating tasks for us. It is like having another team member doing things...

My favorite is that their API can be used to do almost anything in the GUI, we use it heavily to store values across pipelines. The other option we use a lot is secure files for our certs, ssh keys and other text files containing important information which is encrypted and not output in clear test. Another thing that I like about Azure DevOps is that you can use it with any of the products that are on the market we use it heavily with Ansible to the point that we are able to get Ansible-tower like functionality without the extra license. Every day the community makes it easier by adding tasks to simplify working with inputs and outputs for example Terraform state file management, Ansible secrets, Packer Image Builder, etc. I can go on and on but the other major integration is with Security where we can scan our code at the time we commit and before running on our pipelines.

I cannot find a specific con but I can see alerts about service availability about once per month but hasn't affected my usability.

Azure DevOps services helps individuals like developers, QA, Product owners to track the progress of the product on a single page. Once does not have to hop on to the multiple tools / software's to track the product progress.

One of the best tool for the organizations who follows agile methodologies. Azure DevOps services makes product/software development easy with its user friendly and everything in one place feature. One can priorities the backlogs in Azure Boards and implement the CICD pipelines in Azure pipelines with integrated Git repository.

Sometimes the connection to the Azure DevOps server slows down the response. Azure boards can be improved in terms of user interface like other ticketing tools.

Great for developers only--not a tool I would recommend for anyone outside of an engineering team.

Azure DevOps has great code management abilities for developers to build, commit & deploy their code. If used properly with the Scrum/Kanban boards, the ability to tie the work to the code is crucial.

This tool is truly only meant for developers to be able to manage their work and their code. I would not recommend any front-facing users (business or leadership-type people) to use Azure DevOps because it is not necessarily the cleanest or easiest tool to maneuver. The way work (stories, bugs, etc.) is shown on scrum & kanban boards (compared to other tools) seems overly complicated and not user friendly. The reporting & filtering capabilities are also minimal and the result is not ideal to send off to leadership teams.

Very good experience so far. Did have some trouble in the beginning to locate my tasks, but then once the boards and sprints are set up properly, everything becomes super well organised.

Easy to connect to repos and link to tickets. Easy to find and locate any kind of tasks. Easy to set up sprints and locate tasks.

Might be a bit tricky at first to navigate all those menus and features, but once you get the hang of it, super easy to use.
