Senior PM Government Administration ### "Azure DevOps a smart choice for small projects" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 February 11, 2026 Azure DevOps boards provide Agile teams with backlog and sprint management features to keep track and ensure good team collaboration. Although the interface is simple sharing templates and duplicating backlogs is manual and convoluted. Pros Project tracking, automation of releases and collaboration for teams makes this product attractive for small or medium sized projects. Cons No capability to reuse backlogs as templates and limited reporting features are limitations that frustrate users.

AU Anonymous User Agile Consultant Information Technology and Services ### "Lean DevOps" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 4, 2025 Azure DevOps helped us to manage large, complex software projects and products to deliver fast, enhance alignment and clarity between various stakeholders, + boost transparency across the organization. Pros What a product, taking the best of multiple worlds. Happy to be able to deploy our business and enable user stories through the project timeline by visualizing the progress of the flow and measurements are of the hook by observing the data trend and dissecting it from one iteration to another with management. Quite a customized setup to be tailored to your job environment, helping teams and customers to be in 1 environment with the right support, maintenance, and progress overview. Fast learning curve for teams to be onboarded. Cons Some rigidity in the customization, but quite good in general to be able to lead an agile project lifecycle management and a lean mentality to track flow and improve on measurements, visualizing data trends and artifacts from user stories, to features, to Portfolio Epics.

Pros Very featureful and covers most enterprise use case, with deep integration in Azure eco-system. Cons Developer ergonomics and ease-of-use are poor compared to common options like Github / Gitlab. Switched from [GitHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/129067/GitHub/) [GitLab](https://www.capterra.com/p/159806/GitLab/) Due to enterprise requirements, everything had to be on Azure.

FS Felicia S. Marketing Writer Professional Training & Coaching ### "DevOps is a Great Platform for Developers, Not the Average Professional" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 December 17, 2024 Pros The click and drag task management function was intuitive and satisfying. Cons DevOps was clearly made for software developers. The average business professional would have a huge learning curve trying to adjust to this platform. I used it for over a year and still didn't know how to use 90% of its capabilities. I'm sure it's a powerful tool; it's just not user friendly or intuitive.

LC Luis C. software consulting engineer Information Technology and Services ### "Azure DevOps Services is essential for ALM" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 December 12, 2024 Azure DevOps Services provides an integrated environment for managing software development projects from planning through deployment. In my organization is essential. Pros Azure DevOps Services is a comprehensive platform designed to facilitate Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), offering a suite of tools that support every phase of software development. This review synthesizes user experiences and highlights the key features, benefits, and challenges associated with Azure DevOps. Cons In reporting it could be better, delivering reports on pipelines, Azure Repost, and agents. There is great room for improvement to monitor and control projects.

Technical consultant Information Technology and Services ### "It's my favourite DevOps tool" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 25, 2024 It's my favourite DevOps tool, it's always good to see when a client uses Azure DevOps over other tools Pros The sheer amount of possibilities the product offers. I love the fact that your git repos and agile task management is in the same place, it's very easy to link tickets to repo branches. Merging branches works very good. Cons Some pages (like retrospectives) don't auto-refresh which can be quite annoying. You should also be careful with some changes as it may affect a lot of tickets and can result in a lot of manual labour to fix things.

Managing Member Information Technology and Services ### "Great Project Management Tool" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 9, 2024 I love utilizing it and the reporting functionality to push Burn Down and Burn Up charts to gauge team production of past, current and future deployments. Pros I love how you can manage multiple projects and maintain a step by step process while being able to view, correct and progress during software development. Cons I wish that it integrated with Loop so that you could keep teams updated more efficiently.

CR Carl R. QA Analyst Information Technology and Services ### "A terrific management and reporting service" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 23, 2024 It's incredible useful both for project managers and team members to clearly see the progress of tickets throughout a project's lifetime, and keeping track of testing progress. Pros There are so many features, from managing project tasks to test suites to project retrospectives. Creating flexible queries is also a massive help Cons The user interface can be difficult to use at times Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Scrum Master and Corporate Coach Insurance ### "ADO - work management quality" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 19, 2024 As a certified Scrum Master, I'm incredibly pleased with ADO and all it's been able to do in supporting our work management. This includes reporting out on progress, cycle times, velocity, and items not in good order. Pros Azure DevOps, or ADO, is the tool we rely on for all of our work management. Thanks to ADO, we can sustain clarity on which team members are prioritizing which deliverables during any given Sprint Cycle. This greatly enhances our ability to achieve intended Outcomes. Cons ADO can have limitations, such as with how dynamic roadmaps can appear and integration with PowerBI for more advanced dashboard metrics. (e.g. how long a work item has been in a particular state) Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
