We are automating a lot of tasks with Azure DevOps and saving our teams a lot of time doing repetitive tasks. The ability to create workflow like pipelines has saved us days of work and continues to keep automating tasks for us. It is like having another team member doing things...
Pros
My favorite is that their API can be used to do almost anything in the GUI, we use it heavily to store values across pipelines. The other option we use a lot is secure files for our certs, ssh keys and other text files containing important information which is encrypted and not output in clear test. Another thing that I like about Azure DevOps is that you can use it with any of the products that are on the market we use it heavily with Ansible to the point that we are able to get Ansible-tower like functionality without the extra license. Every day the community makes it easier by adding tasks to simplify working with inputs and outputs for example Terraform state file management, Ansible secrets, Packer Image Builder, etc. I can go on and on but the other major integration is with Security where we can scan our code at the time we commit and before running on our pipelines.
Cons
I cannot find a specific con but I can see alerts about service availability about once per month but hasn't affected my usability.

My overall impression of Azure DevOps Services has been favorable. The platform provides a full range of tools and capabilities for project management and team collaboration. I value the degree of customization offered by the platform since it enables me to modify my workflows to match the unique requirements of my projects. The seamless and useful interfaces with other Microsoft tools and services have also helped me to streamline my work and be more productive. Although the platform is undoubtedly sophisticated, I have found the documentation and community resources to be useful in getting past any roadblocks or difficulties I may have faced.
Pros
Since I've been utilizing Azure DevOps Services, I must admit that I'm impressed with how it has benefited my team and I as we work on development projects. The feature set of this service that caters to numerous facets of software development, such as project planning, code management, testing, deployment, and monitoring, is what I value the most.When it comes to facilitating smooth communication and coordination between team members, including those who operate remotely, Azure DevOps Services' collaboration tools are very beneficial. We can organize activities and monitor progress effectively thanks to the agile boards' and backlogs' intuitiveness and usability.It's also great that Azure DevOps Services enables continuous integration and deployment, which makes it simpler for us to automate our software delivery pipeline and deliver new features and upgrades on schedule. Additionally, troubleshooting reports and prioritizing capabilities come in handy for quickly detecting and fixing issues as they arise.
Cons
Despite my appreciation for the variety of features and capabilities provided by Azure DevOps Services, I have occasionally seen documentation that is deficient or ambiguous, making it challenging to debug problems or comprehend how particular features operate. Despite these difficulties, I continue to think of Azure DevOps Services as a useful tool for organizing my projects and working with my team.

We've been using Azure DevOps for quite some time, and it's enabled our team to complete tasks efficiently while working from home.
Pros
Azure DevOps Services provides an all in one product planning, tracking, and collaboration experience enabling teams to work well from different teams, projects, locations, and time zones.
Cons
While the power of this software is certainly there, it can be frustrating to use, feeling very much so like a tool aimed at development rather than general product management. UI is clunky, and it can be hard to keep up to date on everything needed.

We have used Azure Devops across our whole IT department for several years with great success and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Pros
We have used AGILE/SCRUM for several years and Azure Devops allows us to create our backlog containing all of our features & PBI's. We use Devops on a daily basis to run our SCRUM ceremonies by making use of the dashboards to display our burn-down charts, then we use the Sprints section to manage all of the items in the current sprint. We also use Devops to store and manage our repositories from storing the codebase to create pull requests. We then use the pipelines/releases to push our code to several environments with the last one being our production environment.
Cons
Theres not really anything that I have issue with other than maybe the rare occasion that Devops has downtime.

VSTS DevOps is helping use to manage team ,code and operation. We are using it with Azure Cloud and the experience is really good. vNext build is able to build the .net Core application easily.
Pros
VSTS DevOps provide the complete integrity with Development and Operational work. The architecture is helping in boosting the development & Operational process. VSTS take care for complete CI/CD pipeline. Best and loving part in it is that it provide freedom in selecting the TFVC or GIT as version controlling.
Integrity with Azure Cloud is also good which it make this tool a complete DevOps system so that it can be achieve the deployment part with zero outage. XAML and vNext build help in deployment of 100's servers without any human error, as it just need one time setup for builds.
Cons
Installation architecture of VSTS DevOps having a lot of curves, Build Controller and Gated Build need time to setup and Microsoft should make it easy to under and setup. In last few years I am seeing the changes the it moving towards the web-based application, Console like security and permission are now only available in web base pages only.
