I love the ability to manage projects and see where they are in a timeline. Also the ability to work with teams within the ADO to approve files is a definite plus. It also allows other agile teams to look at our projects to see where we are in the process, so it gives them an idea how long before they start on their portion of the project. The ability to create test plans is also a great feature we use quite a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Boards? The navigation took some getting used to, some menu items felt like they meant the same thing, but were different. For instance a board tab, but also another one with the same title. It gets a little confusing for someone new to the product. Even after months of use I get stumped on the navigation sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Azure Boards solving and how is that benefiting you? It centralizes everything we need to finish the job. For example, it has built in support for things we use like node, .NET, JS, and more. We can create tests, run the test, and deploy all in the same program. It's very convenient in that respect. It's also a place where we can all speak on language instead of some people deploying on one program, and others deploying on another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Technology Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/6/2020 "One platform for all - People, Products, Process, Pipeline—Azure DevOps" 5/5 What do you like best about Azure Boards? Working in multi project scenario needs a devops tool for maintaining automated deployment and a ALM tool for keeping track of the business requirements , and to generate metrics based on various inputs and outputs. Azure devops takes all the burden and helps achieving the above mentioned scenario. Azure DevOps gives real-time communication among teams ensuring efficiency in all stages of the lifecycle. Me as a developer , I find Git integration with azure as a key feature for faster productivity. Integration with development IDEs is also very easy. Another key feature is it provides customization for workflows. Our company uses hybrid waterfall/agile methodology and that is can be well implemented in Azure devops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Boards? I find azure devops interesting to work with, but there are some drawbacks which the team can work upon like there is no service for document management( Something similar to sharepoint). Compared to other tools like JIRA ,the application is not so much customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Azure Boards: As most of the companies are shifting their interest to automate their build and deployment, so I think robust source code control and devops pipelining is a must. As it comes with ALM features as well projects can be tracked from start to finish with the ability to direct it in correct path. Its also helpful for QA team as they can directly monitor and provide feedback within the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Azure Boards solving and how is that benefiting you? Azure DevOps is the standard at my company and we are using it for source code management and project/requirements management. Recently we are shifting our manual builds to automated builds using some CI/CD tools like Jenkins and Azure devops. Pipeline execution is fast using pipelines in Azure devops and I find its more easier for a person to maintain all the build and deployment parameters using this software.

Integration into Azure Devops is perfect. This allows us to centralize all communication and access for software development inside one tool. The project management tool comes with boards (Kanban) and allows us to create sprints and manage items. Being tightly integrated in Azure Devops, we can link items and take actions within pull requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Boards? Funkiness between "Bugs" and "Tasks" on the kaban board can remove items from the view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Azure Boards: If you are using Azure Devops, AzureDevops projects allows you to centralize all project management and development in one location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Azure Boards solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Azure Devops for source control and all DevOps items. By using Projects, all our planning is centralized inside the same tool, versus using something external like Jira or Trello. We do not have to pay or manage multiple software licenses and jump through hoops, it is all central. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say it is without a great tool Microsoft Azure has to offer. A good environment for project statistics and findings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one stop tool for project where we can see what everyone is up to. Even we can pull reports and filter it according to our needs. The most important thing I have benefited by this is ease of access to our project works. Every Sprint updates and past ones can be viewed here.

Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/25/2020 "Works great, awesome upgrade from TFS" 5/5 What do you like best about Azure Boards? This has really transformed how our IT team works. We switched over from ServiceNow and our workflow, method of ingesting tickets and entire philosophy how we handle work has been changed. We're not fully agile, but we are slowly getting there and could not have done it with ServiceNow alone. It is really easy in devops for an end user to build filters, queries and reports. It's kind of like PowerBI for an end user, it makes very powerful tools available to a non technical person to make the application work for them without requiring complex coding or behind the scenes action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Boards? There's really not much to dislike, I am still learning more and more about it since it's such a powerful tool. There can be a couple of glitches here and there with the "find" box hovering over and interfering with the current task/item you're on, but other than that it really works seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Azure Boards: Use the trial version and then get the full one. Have a separate board for projects and a separate one for Incidents/Escalations. Make sure your team is on board and get them the training needed, track your hours, build reports using those hours and allocate resources accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the easy to learn UI within Azure DevOps Projects, allowing for tagging, mentioning people and re-categorizing projects. It is very helpful and efficient. I also appreciate how we can show the progress of each project. Finally, each work item contains it's own thread of communication pertaining to each project's details. This ensures great organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Azure Boards? After the log-in panel in Azure DevOps Projects, the dashboard is another click away. I'd like it to open to where I see my projects defaulted out. Sometimes the click-count can get high trying to find various user panels. However, as a user becomes more acquainted with Azure DevOps Projects, they will soon be able to navigate quite efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
