- we can utilize features such as gates, approvals, automated deployment CI-CD to promote your code to higher environments easily and securely.

- Azure pipelines are tightly integrated with Azure boards, repos, and overall azure resoruces, so doing some work with other azure services is much easier.

- If there are any issues with your setup, just check community forums and most likely you will find your solution there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Azure DevOps?

The fact that I have documentation, software version control tools like Git and pipeline frameworks with secrets and variable management in either a UI / YAML format all in one place, with Kanban Boards and Tests Suites to boot! Everything I'd need for a software project in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure DevOps?

The marketplace is often filled with fluff and not cleaned up frequently enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Azure DevOps solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides us a centralized place to plan our software projects and track progress using Azure Boards, document decisions using the Wiki, store our code using Azure Repos, manage access using Active Directory, provide continuous integration pipelines to build and test and validate code using Azure Pipelines, link that pipelines and code to tasks on kanban boards in Azure Boards. Then automate tests either in pipelines or using Test suites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Pipelines?

Its integration with Azure services is easy.

CI/CD automation tasks are easy to handle.

This can be integrated to cross platform deployments. Not only Azure cloud this tool can be integrated with on-premise and other cloud platforms.

It provides the Details logs of the deployments and If configured correctly it will send out the deployment logs to individual/group emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Pipelines?

Since integration with multi platforms, A new engineer feels little uncomfortable to use it.

Even it supports multiple platforms we require Azure agents to deploy on the end platforms. This implies costing as well.

During my experience I received a very limited support from Micorsoft on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Pipelines solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves my manual tasks/deployment. We have migrated to azure pipelines and deployments are completed within short span. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Pipelines?

Azure Pipelines is a pretty good choice to automate the build and deployment of an application. It seamlessly integrates with GitHub and Azure Repos, among other popular version control systems, making it easier to set up continuous workflows. The YAML below can be useful when tracking changes to pipeline definitions for better team collaborations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Pipelines?

One disadvantage is that it may be somewhat tricky to learn for a complete beginner who doesn't have prior experience with the concept of CI/CD or with YAML syntax. Integration with third-party services and tools may be challenging for some users and would often require additional configuration. The prices add up with large teams or projects that are in heavy use, especially due to the parallel job limits. While feature-rich, yes, the interface does feel cluttered and hard to navigate at times for new users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Pipelines solving and how is that benefiting you?

Azure Pipelines facilitate easy development by automating the build and deployment processes, saving more time for coding. It seamlessly integrates into the version control system and further with DevOps tools, hence enabling one to test and deploy changes to code in no time. It assures consistent environments, with the inclusion of automated testing to improve code quality and reduce bugs. Azure Pipelines will scale for projects of any size and provide full visibility into the deployment, amplifying efficiency and collaboration for delivering software updates and new features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Pipelines?

At first it wasn't easy for me to use, I come from Github so I expected this to be easy but no, although here I used the visual version and fell in love. Its implementation is easy, and I have examples that help me create what I want. Customer support is basic but good, they have solved the problems I have.

As for the frequency of use, I use this almost every day, so much so that I have already exhausted the free plan several times XD.

As for its integration with other tools in the Microsoft ecosystem, I must say that it is a beauty to work with all of these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Pipelines?

The bad thing is that I feel like it needs more options and features, sometimes I feel like the options are limited Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Pipelines solving and how is that benefiting you?

With GitHub, when we were deploying, there was no successful interaction between GitHub Actions and the Azure app service. We have achieved this with pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Pipelines?

It is the best thing that I always use in my projects.

This provides me with a versatile of features that I used during my automation.

There are 2 things Pipeline section in which we can create a Build pipeline/ release pipeline by using YAML pipelines and using Classic editor which provides more reliability to beginners to understand how to create the pipeline.

We can connect the pipeline with multiple sources of code like Azure repo, git, etc.

We can set multiple types of triggers.

Release pipeline which is used for another env release like UAT or Prod.

The release provides features like multi-source: build pipeline, git, repo, artifact, Jenkins, etc.

we can connect it with a self-hosted agent which provides more customizable.

we can set approval with multi-function testing like pre-deployment gates, which judge release on some condition that is pre-defined.

I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Pipelines?

I didn't found anything that i dislike about azure pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Pipelines solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me automate the process like Data migration of ADF from Dev env to Prod I use it and it is done perfectly. I use this in like Databricks, synapse, LogicApp migration, and SQL server.

It also helps in Infrastructure Deployment to Azure Cloud using Terraform and Arm Template. It helps in deploying applications on Azure Kubernetes service and web apps with Building images with Docker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Pipelines?

I use it all the time for my side projects.

When I was using Azure Cloud it was very easy to deploy web apps. But now that I am using a different cloud and host my stuff on VMs instead of cloud apps it's still enables me to do that. I can store keys securely and run all sorts of commands on my target VMs. It also enables me to do releases with pre-checks and I can separate it by environment.

And I like using for simply buiding .NET projects too.

It has so many tasks to choose from and even if none of them suits your needs you can always find more on the marketplace or build your own.

I also like the way it looks too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Pipelines?

The only problem I have is that one of my old Azure resources is still there and I can't get rid of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Pipelines solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's good for anything from simple builds to deployments to multitude of platforms and clouds. So I can have reliable and repeatable way of doing lots of stuff. I also run Terraform in my builds and it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
