Pros

  • Very good information and insights about individual contributors and teams. It allows you to identify rockstars, top performers and to improve the development lifecycle.

  • I love the four code metrics (new work, legacy, help others, churn), It help coaching engineers, spot when they are stuck, it's a very good tool at itself. The design is cool too, it's easy to use.

  • It is in the developmental stage now, but I am seeing it bring great success. I hope they upgrade it, so it works well with big numbered teams and a better correlation between data and reports.

  • I think the founders are very nice and well intentioned. Customer service is great, and the product has a great UI.

Cons

  • It's expensive - more than what we pay for Bitbucket + Jira.

  • Lack of day timeline to understand when exactly dev made commits. Poor work with pull requests stats.

  • I found it a bit pricey considering the limited features. The loading speed is often challenging, and I am unable to set goals with notifications/update.

  • Setup was buggy and I received several 500 errors during the process. Was not clear if it was working or not for a few days.

"Good tool to understand your team dynamics"

Pros: Waydev has proved to be a very useful tool for me to understand how my team is performing. I use it as part of the feedback on 1-1 meetings, and it helps me to provide feedback valuable to developers and ask questions about certain trends shown on their code. It's really easy to use and I practically don't need to do anything to use it.

Cons: It's a little bit expensive, and I am sticking to the free version because it adds enough value for what I am using it

Alternatives Considered: Pluralsight Flow
Reasons for Choosing Waydev: free version
Switched From: Pluralsight Flow

"We switched from Pluralsight Flow (GitPrime) and so far really love it"

Overall: It's easy to use, provides helpful insights on how to support developers. Their support is VERY fast, which I love - ask a question and one of the founders is there to help. They have a robust feature set - probably too much for what we need, but good that we can grow into it.

Pros: It has pretty much all the features we used at Gitprime, plus a few more that are even better. Gitprime was just too expensive for us, and we didn't see any evolution in the features. Waydev has a better dashboard and it has a great timecard view where you can see commit timing for each contributor. Comparing both, their impact calculation seems quite similar. Gitprime was also getting slow and harder to use. The only issue I had was onboarding, getting my organization repo to setup, but I used a different option with the help of their support and it's fine now.

Cons: They just added the review feature, so that solves the one problem I had. They don't seem to have a Jira Integration, but honestly we left Jira for ClickUp have love it! So again, not an issue for us.

Alternatives Considered: Pluralsight Flow
Reasons for Choosing Waydev: Combination of price and feature set. Waydev seemed to have the right set of features at the right price.
Switched From: Pluralsight Flow, GitClear and Gitential
Reasons for Switching to Waydev: Gitprime was too expensive, they were somewhat flexible with pricing for our small team, but as soon as Pluralsight bought them, they became totally inflexible.

"Helps track developer productivity, but needs some time to adapt with the process"

Overall: Waydev was a way to showcase the productivity of our developers to senior management. This was a way to check if the team is getting more productive. If not, identify the root cause of the problem and address it. At times when we do see the scores dropping, there have been some legitimate reasons for the same. Some times however, issues in the development process have been identified which the teams need to resolve. Overall, it does give is an insight, but more time is needed to make it a core part of the process.

Pros: The interface is simple and clean. The tool gives a good representation of the productivity of the developers, and a high level view of the work being done.

Cons: It has been hard to utilize the metrics provided by WayDev in a meaningful way. Even though we have been using it for more than 6 months, we haven't been able to make use of it to understand the productivity and effectiveness of the developers. Further, it needs some more high level reporting. For example, a chart that shows the impact scores by month. We can figure it out, but have to circle through multiple months. At times, we had issues with commits not reflecting which the support team help address.

Alternatives Considered: Pluralsight Flow
Reasons for Choosing Waydev: Pricing. GitPrime is way too expensive for what it provides. WayDev in that sense is better priced.

"Great tool for engineering managers. Very comprehensive analytics!"

Overall: A platform that helped me and my company fully understand what’s happening inside our software development processes. It’s an amazing investment for anyone who wants a clear view of what the teams are doing and spot any bottlenecks.

Pros: We can zoom into teams’ progress, see what’s happening inside sprints, and how the code review process is going - all in one platform. Also, the customer support is excellent, always answering in a matter of minutes if we have any sort of question.

Cons: I couldn't find any can other than it's expensive for small teams.

Alternatives Considered: Velocity and Pluralsight Flow
Reasons for Choosing Waydev: Most integrations, comprehensive, great customer support, and constant new updates and features added.

"Excellent product"

Overall: We save each month a lot of money, we understand better what out development team is doing and we generate a lot of interesting reports so we could improve our team and also give them bonuses.

Pros: They had an incredible support team but what I like the most about Waydev is that we save a lot of money every month

Cons: It was very hard to find these type of tools. All the other companies that we use before, they have big brands but not a good product. What I personally like least about Waydev is that they don't promote themselves so we must search a lot for this tool....

Alternatives Considered: Pluralsight Flow
Reasons for Choosing Waydev: Because we test the product and we compare the prices, the way it works and....we just did it. And we are happy, that's why we are losing time writing a complete review
Switched From: Pluralsight Flow
Reasons for Switching to Waydev: Because we test Waydev and Gitprime become useless

"User-Friendly Dashboard"

Overall: It is in the developmental stage now, but I am seeing it bring great success. I hope they upgrade it, so it works well with big numbered teams and a better correlation between data and reports.

Pros: It has a user-friendly dashboard and allows maximum visibility into the performance of engineering teams. It helps team leads understand the relative performance of team members and assess their decisions on code base and ensure error-free integration of bitbucket/GitHub projects. Our management has found it truly effective in analyzing work patterns of multiple teams at once.

Cons: I found it a bit pricey considering the limited features. The loading speed is often challenging, and I am unable to set goals with notifications/update.

"Affordable and great alternative over the competition"

Pros: The affordability was the biggest plus as the competitors require longer-term commitments and about 3x more expensive. The overall UX is perfect for what we need for our company.

Cons: Doesn't have as many features as it's competitors and not as polished yet but I am sure that will come with time.

"An amazing tool for engineering teams "

Overall: The experience was great overall and their team is quick to help troubleshoot with issues should any arise. I'd had pleasant interactions with the team, and the experience with software has simply been straightforward and eliminated some pain points for us.

Pros: The simple set up and immediate return on value for data was simply impressive. We were able to immediately get value from this platform. Week to week we easily get awesome auto generated reports and actionable insights on engineering velocity and cost of impact/mistakes. We wish we had access to something like this much earlier! I really recommend Waydev to other engineering managers or startup technical leads to improve their build velocity. We now integrate some of the insights from waydev in our 1-on-1 weekly meets to help improve and lead other engineers on our team.

Cons: Because there is so much functionality, features, and data being processed, I'd only request some more walkthrough turtorials, and documentation to speed up the self on boarding process, and to just generally know how to maximise what waydev platform offers!

"An emerging product that adds value"

Overall: We will watch this product as it matures. The pricing is attractive over GitPrime (our current solution) but missing valuable features we use in GitPrime. They are probably on your roadmap.

Pros: Price is better than competitors in market.

Cons: Setup was buggy and I received several 500 errors during the process. Was not clear if it was working or not for a few days. Not as full featured as GitPrime (our current solution)

Hey! Thank you for the review! Unfortunately, due to our last Product Hunt launched, we were not prepared for this high number of new accounts and he had some issues with our AWS; hopefully we've managed to fix the issues, and now everything works fine. Regarding our features, we're working very hard to release new features in the current period, here is our roadmap: - A new dashboard - 1 - 2 weeks - Four more screens (work: volume, trend, retrospective, average) - 1 - 3 weeks - Project history regarding the impact - 2 - 6 weeks - Developer history regarding our metrics- 2 - 6 weeks - Comparing your project with other projects - 4 - 7 weeks - Multiple teams - 5 - 8 weeks - Pull Requests - 6 - 18 weeks Thank you for trying our service, and I hope you will consider us in the future.

"Saves me and my developers a couple of hours everyday"

Overall: Waydev helped us reduce the overall friction between managers and developers, because managers can now see what each engineer is doing daily. Its positive impact can be seen in the throughput of our teams. It also helped during our mid-year performance reviews, which generally, took hours to prepare.

Pros: I like the fact that it has an easy onboarding. We also had several real-time coaching sessions where they helped us debug our teams' metrics (which seemed a bit overwhelming at first), and provided recommendations on how to use each of their features. I love their responsiveness on the live chat.

Cons: It's expensive - more than what we pay for Bitbucket + Jira. It would've been nice to have more insights into ticket activity.

"Best Investment. Good for the company, Good for the team, Good for the engineer."

Pros: Waydev has given us incredible insight of the work that our team are working daily. The metrics provided by Waydev helped everyone in our company from the executive level until the engineer on who, what, when and how of the tasks are done. Waydev should be a MUST on every company that develops software. The onboarding was excellent. Thank you [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

Cons: Currently it is not working with Kanban on Jira. However, soon it will be available.

"Awesome Tool for Managing Remote Teams"

Overall: Overall, Waydev has been very helpful and its now part of our routine when doing daily stand-ups.

Pros: It was super easy to configure and it produces valuable metrics that we are increasingly relying on everyday and week. I

Cons: Honestly...there is nothing to dislike. It may seem expensive but if you are investing in remote devs, its a small investment that is well worth it in the long run.

"Visibility that improved the way we manage our teams"

Overall: Waydev helped us move a lot faster because we saw where we could improve and we could take action in real-time.

Pros: I think I like best the fact that I can see any blocker in my team’s software development process in real-time and solve the problem before it begins to slow down the team. The platform really helped us save a lot of valuable time. I feel like we deploy code much faster now because we know when something isn’t right because we actually get alerts for that. Also, the support was great! Whenever I got a problem, someone from their team would help me right away - in a matter of a few minutes.

Cons: We don’t have anything to complain about.

"Now that we can measure, we can manage"

Overall: We are very happy with Waydev and the team behind it. For years, I have struggled to find an unbiased, low friction way to keep a pulse on developer productivity. Waydev closes off a big piece of this puzzle. Used in conjunction with other information, we have a 360-degree view and understanding of how the team is performing, as well as a benchmark for good > great

Pros: The app immediately cuts to the chase and gives you a snapshot of how the team is performing.

Cons: Getting used to the concept of the 'impact' metric.

Reasons for Choosing Waydev: Clear concept, straight to the point. Very responsive support.

"Very good to evaluate your team performance"

Overall: I was trying to understand how my team was performing during the development of new products so I can improve my estimates. Usually refactoring and bug fixing of previous features slow down new ones. With Waydev I was able to identify why the new development was delayed and how much time my engineers spend on rework of old code.

Pros: The feature to calculate the performance of the team versus previous sprints are awesome. Also, you can easily identify if the role of your engineers is accordingly to the job done.

Cons: The learning curve to interpret correctly the graphs is high. However, once you understand how to read the graphs, the rest is easy.

"Waydev"

Pros: Very helpful in providing metrics to truly measure the development team's performance. Once you get a hang of how the metrics are measured it can be very helpful in evaluating your team and even individual engineers.
