The best thing is that you can rely on reviews that you can trust, and it is a very important part of the process, I guess. You must try it once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, there are pros and cons of each platform, but as such, I have not faced any issue to date, so for me, it worked wonders, and the interface could be much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best CICD Tool in market"

5/5

What do you like best about Azure Boards?

Microsoft Azure DevOps has fully integrated services including Azure Board, Azure Repo, Azure Pipeline(Build & Release), Azure Artifacts & Azure Test. Azure has a wide range of extensions and tasks integrated and the best part of Azure DevOps is the Deployment Group where we can add both Azure VMs and on-premise VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Boards?

The downside of Azure DevOps is its User Interface(UI) which is pretty bad if you look at Deployment Group UI the VM Tags in the pools overlap one above the other I had this problem for the last 2 years which Microsoft didn't even solve till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
