Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Added Git support long time ago. Can now support deployment on Linux hosts. Offer an online SaaS alternative.
  • Azure DevOps Server is a comprehensive deployment package which helps in on-premises or cloud deployments. It has a great interface and multiple analytics tools. Azure DevOps Server also supports integration with third party tools.

Cons

  • Took too much time to add pipelines as code and the syntax used is horrible. Everything is wrapped around the team concept instead of product. Developers working on multiple solutions often have to search for something in multiple teams. Git support is an afterthought. The UI to access git repos is not optimised for finding what we need. Working on a complex solution is nearly impossible. User-stories, documentation, code, pipelines, etc. are contained in the same team. The software doesn't support collaboration between multiple teams in the same product, except for forks / pull requests. The website support only a single language. The integrated wiki is very limited and cannot publish public pages. The UX is a total mess. It is clear the tool is designed by developers for their own purpose. The pull-requests support is very limited. The CI/CD agents doesn't support the docker-in-docker approach, so we can't have a clean build environment on each build. Has a lot of overlapping features with a better product from the same company (GitHub).
  • No cons, it works really well and is quite improved from the previous version.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Large number of templates. Cookbooks make implementation faster. Open Source. Community support is huge. Good documentation.

Cons

  • Needs better integration with other DevOps tools. Initial learning curve is steep. A bit harder to manage than other alternatives.
