"A Great Way to Manage Projects"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure Boards?

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.

"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.

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.

"Consolidate your project management inside Auzre devops"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Boards?

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.

"Excellent management tool for Agile Projects"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure Boards?

With a fairly intuitive interface, Azure DevOps Project makes for an amazing and efficient tool to manage Agile projects. With seamless integration of ADO's CI-CD, repos and testing tools, it also packs in superb additional features from MS ecosystem like use of Flow, PowerApps and PowerBI to run analytics on project stats. User management is also a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Boards?

Having used other tools in the past like Jira, I honestly did not find any areas to dislike here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Azure Boards?

Azure DevOps is a great CI/CD tool for development and Operations project. The dashboards, pipelines, repository are the most handy features one can find here. It helps me and my team a lot for our project as we are using Azure DevOps. Whatever updates are given by me r my team mates it can be found here. Report pulling feature is much helpful to track the running of the project. Other tabs like artifacts are also helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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.

"Azure DevOps Team Collaboration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Azure Boards?

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.
