"The most valuable feature is the complete integration between test cases, pipelines, and issue management."

"The integration of the whole cycle is the main strength of the tool. If I want to control the cycle with other tools on the market, I would have to use several tools. However, this is not the case with Azure DevOps or TFS."
"We can track everything from the requirements stage to the production stage."
"The solution is very heavily vendor dependent."
