Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the Scrum board."
"The main power of this tool is the integration between the different products of the Atlassian suite. We have good integration with work management with Java. This is the major strength from this provider."
"This solution fits very well into our agile product management environment."
"It is good for the purpose it is designed for. It is good for maintaining a repository of application code, creating pipelines for deploying the code, building the code, and deploying the code. It can be easily used by developers. There are no issues."
"Typically the sprints themselves and managing the tasks have essentially eliminated our need for reporting."
"Technical support has been excellent. On that side, Microsoft is very good. The customer support of Microsoft has really improved this past year. On the cloud side also we are very satisfied because it offers very good support."
"The solution integrates well with other Azure services and third-party tools."
"It is possible to add third-party extensions to increase the usability of the product."
"I definitely like the pipelines and the ease of management once you're in an enterprise."
"Overall, so far we have no major issues to report."
"You can have test cases in DevOps but not in JIRA. And, DevOps has advantages in terms of executing those test cases."
"The automation for scheduling software and doing software tests should be simplified because it's complex and too rigid."
"There is room for improvement in the high-level project management."
"The reports are not really customizable, which is something that they should improve on."
"The optimization feature in Microsoft Azure DevOps needs improvement. Control over multiple projects could also be improved."
"The solution's roadmap and Gantt charts could be improved."
"We are facing some problems because the capacity can only be measured within a project. It cannot be measured across multiple projects. So, the reporting needs to be enhanced, and there should be more graphs to be able to easily give the upper management insights about all the employees from different departments. It will be helpful for employee management. Currently, the managers over here are using Power BI for insights because the functionality of Azure DevOps Boards is not enough. So, we have to export the data into another visualization tool and get the results."
"Its UI can be easier and more customer-friendly. The UI can be improved from the project management and agile perspective."
"I think that the integration is to some extent, immature."
"I think Azure DevOps could improve the traceability or business intelligence about the execution of DevOps processes."
"Non-functional testing such as security testing, log testing, and performance testing can be improved with a better visualization."
"Something that could be improved is the initial setup with the integration of ReadyAPI."
