some of our clients using Jira others the Azure DevOps Boards.
By Jira, on Work Items we have a "Work log" tab, where we can log our times.
I'm searching for the same at Azure DevOps Boards, but can't find more as the Effort (Hours) part on Tasks. But this is much weaker... Do we need a plugin or what is the best practice here?
Azure DevOps does not support daily time-tracking. To enable it, you have to use some external solutions like 7pace Timetracker for Azure DevOps

Have you ever tried to use Jira as development board and Azure DevOps as repository + CI/CD Pipelines?
I was wondering if it is possible to link to Jira tasks the results of Azure pipelines deployments and builds, i found this plugin but reviews say is not working properly recently.
EDIT
Using the mentioned plugins seems the right way although they are not working properly at the moment. I will try to contact the support as suggested.
According to your description, you can try to use the plugin for Azure DevOps.
Then you can use the flow: Jira -> GitHub -> Azure Pipelines CI -> Azure Pipelines CD.
For more information, you could refer to the Azure Pipelines integration with Jira Software.
From the point of view of an team admin and user.
Particularly interested in planning tools and boards.
There is no such documentation. However, you can compare some features on this page: Azure DevOps Feature Timeline.
Additionally, Azure DevOps Service continually gets new features. To get new features on Azure DevOps Server, you have to update it.
Example of the last changes on the server on service:
Can someone recommend Help/Service Desk management system which works good with Azure DevOps?
We already have Azure Devops for code management with ci cd and test suites.
I am also considering JIRA service desk management, however thinking a bit scpetical in the lines of having two similar eco systems.
In next few months, we forsee potential clients who makes use of our IT services and would like to support them using service desk management.
Thank you.
By reference to this doc: What features and services do I get with Azure DevOps?, Azure DevOps provide Boards service including Agile process, Basic Process, Scrum process and CMMI process, which is easily sharing information and track the status of work, tasks, issues, or code defects. See: Azure DevOps Labs for details.
In addition, if you use Slack, you can use the Azure Boards app for Slack to create work items and monitor work item activity in your Azure Boards project from your Slack channel. If you use Microsoft Teams, you can use the Azure Boards app for Microsoft Teams to create work items and monitor work item activity in your Azure Boards project from your Teams channel. And Jira, Zappier, Service Now and so on.
BTW, if you use other management system like TeamSupport Help Desk, you could use Microsoft Power Platform to create automated workflows.
After investigation, we found that currently Azure DevOps has no service desk feature, I found a suggestion ticket in Developer community. You can vote and follow this ticket. You can also create a new suggestion ticket here. The product group will review these tickets regularly, and consider take it as roadmap.
BTW, I found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/azuredevops/comments/cbkxwz/azure_devops_as_a_help_desk_ticket_system/, which provides several choices, you could check it.
I have the need to be able to create completely new Azure DevOps organizations from scratch. I have tried with azure devops cli but there just seems to be no way to do it.
I already checked MS documentation but it only mentions the manual way through a browser to do so.
Is this even possible?
Is this even possible?
As far as I know it is not possible to create organizations in Azure DevOps programmatically. You can create Projects, Work Items or Teams through Rest API but not Organizations.
In addition, please also refer to Use Azure DevOps REST API to Delete organizations / accounts? Where you can see there isn't a way to automate delete an organization currently too.
I want to add close to 100 users to Azure DevOps (Visual Studio Team Service). Since adding them individually is quite a cumbersome task, is there any way by which a bulk users can be added at one go?
Thanks for your feedback the idea.
But for now, the feature is not available for Azure DevOps.
And I posted the link Add the feature to bulk add users to an Azure DevOps organization to suggest the feature, you can follow up there.
