"Azure - the easy way out always !"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Azure DevTest Labs?

The user experience is what I look for all the time and Microsoft never disappoints me with that with any of its products. With Azure DevTest labs, the transition was super smooth and the learning curve plus adaptation to its environment was a great experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure DevTest Labs?

I always like pulling up tutorials and also answers to my doubts from the user community when I face any issues with the software! I noticed a lack of the user community responsiveness for this particular software and would like if it becomes more proactive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform for dev teams"
4/5
What do you like best about Azure DevTest Labs?

Cost management and versatility of VMs. Leveraging DevTest Labs VM templates and formulas to have pre build dev environments for developers to spin up when needed based on the project they are working on is extremely efficient and cost effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure DevTest Labs?

There is a lot to take in and digest to best be able to use the tools available. We had a lot of support from Microsoft, however this would be very difficult to build up and navigate alone. The resulting product/outcome could end up costing more than necessary if not configured correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Temporary envinronments for Development and QA"
5/5
What do you like best about Azure DevTest Labs?

DevTest Labs allow quickly create temporary environments for non-production purposes, use can create entire set of needed virtual machines from a template to perform your work, if you will need another environment you can easily create it identical with previous. You can control quotas for your engineers to manage the costs of your labs, also you can configure autostart and shutdown to avoid VMs running when these are not used. You can save secrets in a KeyVault, like common administrator credentials to save your time when creating virtual machines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure DevTest Labs?

Works only with IaaS resources like VMs and data disks. If you need non-production environment for WebApp, you will need to use deployments slots and non-production SQL Databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
