What do you like best about Microsoft Azure DevOps?

What I like best about Azure DevOps is its seamless integration across the entire development lifecycle — from planning and tracking work items in Boards to automating CI/CD pipelines in Pipelines. It enables cross-functional teams to collaborate efficiently, ensures traceability, and reduces manual overhead through automation. The flexibility to connect with GitHub and various third-party tools also makes it incredibly versatile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure DevOps?

As a project management tool it is a little complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Azure DevOps helps bring all parts of the software development process into one place. It makes it easier for teams to plan, write code, test, and release updates without switching between many tools. For me, it saves time, improves teamwork, and helps us deliver features faster and with fewer mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Pipelines?

- 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.

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.
