Azure DevOps Server Reviews & Product Details

Azure DevOps Server, formerly known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), is a comprehensive on-premises solution developed by Microsoft for managing the entire application lifecycle. It integrates version control, project management, build automation, testing, and release management into a unified platform, facilitating collaboration among development teams. Designed to support both agile and waterfall methodologies, Azure DevOps Server enables organizations to plan, develop, test, and deliver software efficiently within their own infrastructure. Key Features and Functionality: - Version Control: Offers robust source code management through Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) and Git, allowing teams to choose between centralized or distributed version control systems. - Project Management: Provides agile planning tools, including configurable Kanban boards and backlogs, to plan, track, and discuss work across teams. - Build Automation: Enables continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to build, test, and deploy applications across various platforms and environments. - Testing: Includes manual and exploratory testing tools to ensure code quality and support the entire testing lifecycle. - Release Management: Facilitates controlled and automated deployment of applications to different environments, ensuring consistent and reliable releases. - Extensibility: Supports integration with various development environments, including Microsoft Visual Studio and Eclipse, and offers APIs for custom extensions. Primary Value and User Benefits: Azure DevOps Server addresses the challenges of managing complex software development projects by providing a centralized platform that enhances collaboration, streamlines workflows, and improves code quality. By integrating various development tools and processes, it reduces the overhead associated with managing multiple disparate systems. Organizations benefit from increased transparency, better project tracking, and faster delivery times, all while maintaining control over their data within their own infrastructure. This makes Azure DevOps Server particularly valuable for enterprises with strict compliance requirements or those operating in environments where cloud-based solutions are not feasible.

"Azure DevOps Server - it's ok but mostly unlikable and clunky"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Azure DevOps Server?

It does do its job most of the time, but generally it's not a very likable product in my opion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure DevOps Server?

In my opinion, the biggest problem with Azure DevOps Server/TFS is that it's stuck in this Windows Auth world (at least that's the way it's been configured in my organisation), even its Git repos and NPM registry. This makes automation really hard, and sometimes impossible. It does support generating personal access tokens but those have a limited life of a month or two and we cannot change that, there is overhead here of having to continually generate new tokens and find all the sparse .npmrc files that it needs to be pasted in to.

Scripting and automation need long lived tokens or usernames and passwords, best if the build system has a good reliable way of integrating these tokens and secrets to avoid duplication and maintenance like TeamCity's Root Project concept provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
