Microsoft Azure DevOps Reviews

- Azure pipelines have build and release pipelines which are easy to use and implement.

- 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.

- sometimes the pipelines takes too long to execute / respond (maybe due to downtime from azure side). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

Seamless for development teams to track work items, manage sprints, and visualize progress. The customizable Kanban boards allow teams to tailor workflows to their specific processes, enhancing flexibility. The ability to create user stories, bugs, and tasks in one place streamlines project management, fostering better collaboration and efficiency.Easy to use and anyone can understand how to use the azure boards, do customisation based on case to case Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure Boards interface may lack the intuitiveness of simpler project management tools, which can lead to a steep learning curve. Additionally, some customization options are limited, making it challenging to adapt the board to unique workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

The ease of integration with our current tools and platforms is one of Azure Pipelines' best features. We save time and stress by controlling pipelines with ease thanks to the user-friendly UI. Additionally, the variety of features it provides—such as simultaneous job execution—helps efficiently optimize our workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve is what i dislike about Azure, also there's a lack of documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

The simplicity, documentations and it's learning certifications features. Anybody from scratch can follow the learning flow and can become expert for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to manage when we think from admin point of view. We need seperate person to maintain the accesses and users based on their unique and individual needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Azure pipelines allows me to easily implement an infrastructure workflow that allows me to build, test, and deploy my applications and easily integrates with various types of automation tasks on a recurring and frequent basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation may be scarce for certain tasks but for the most part there is little to dislike about Azure Pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
