VP, Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good software for understanding how Engineering and Product come together" December 15, 2020 4.0 It's been great so far. It was a slow start for us because we also had to transition to using Jira rather than Github issues, but as we've finalized processes, we're starting to have a nice trove of data to help with planning and facilitate discussions amongst engineering leadership and with the product organization. Pros I appreciate that it gives a more product-centric view to engineering output. Rather than focusing on reducing engineers down to an abstract number making opaque claims about individual impact, Jellyfish looks more holistically at what engineering is working on, how it ties back to roadmap and higher level goals, and really helps understand where time is being spent. Cons The individual developer metrics are not very useful. I would be fine with not having them, but as it is, we don't use them so it's kind of clutter in the interface. Alternatives considered [Pluralsight Flow](https://www.capterra.com/p/203937/Pluralsight-Flow/) Switched from [Pluralsight Flow](https://www.capterra.com/p/203937/Pluralsight-Flow/) A variety of reasons, but primarily because GitPrime was focused developer metrics only, most of which were opaque, and failed to provide any insight into the larger picture of how well engineering was performing its role of building a product. Further, it provided little actual insight into how well developers were performing. We found that it's metrics were generally unreliable and their entire model was generated with a biased sample of projects. GitPrime post acquisition by Pluralsight Review Source EB Evgeny B. Engineering Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gets the job done" December 21, 2020 4.0 Pros Provides data and information necessary to perform my work in a convenient method Cons UI isn't intuitive and requires addl. research before using. Navigation isn't intuitive either. Review Source MS Meghan S. Sr Program Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Plug and Play analytics that custom fit your business" December 29, 2020 4.0 Wonderful customer services, not only supporting our needs, but also providing their own experience to help solve our business use cases. Again, really pleased we have a solution that allows for effort tracking without requiring time tracking. Additionally to reiterate the plug and play reality of this software is wonderful. You have the option to customize to fit your business needs, yet still getting business value data right away just by looking at existing tools. Pros The tool allows for allocation of effort spent, allowing a business to understand effort without time tracking. Rolling that data up into business value data points. Additionally, we were able to plug this into our existing ticket tracking system, and begin to see the analytics right away. Cons The user experience takes time to learn. The negative is both pro and con because there is SO MUCH data available, its difficult to best know how you'd pack that into an easier UI. Review Source BB Bill B. VP Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Jellyfish is a great entry in this crowded space" September 23, 2020 5.0 It's been very good so far. It was easy to setup, easy to start using and within the first week I was using it as the basis of communications and presentations I had to give both to my group and to my leadership. Pros I love how Jellyfish has an opinionated view that the metrics that matter for an engineering team should be ones that help you understand what value your organization is working on and shipping, not just what individuals are doing on a given day. That allows me to use Jellyfish in a more strategic way than some of the other tools in this space I've previously tried. Cons It's still a somewhat new product, the UI took me a little getting use to because there were so many different types of data and ways to access it. I liked the breadth and depth of data about my organization they had, but I look forward to them tweaking how it's presented in the future. Review Source AC Anvesh C. Sr. APM Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing Product for the Organisation productivity" December 16, 2020 4.0 Pros User friendly, Good team reports, Ease to use. Cons Need more reports that pull the data from JIRA Review Source KJ Kevin J. Team Owner Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Jellyfish Review" December 19, 2020 4.0 Overall great experience and helpful tool for managing teams. Pros Easy to use dashboards that provide information to manage teams. Love the ability to drill down for details. Well organized. Cons Needs better documentation and online help to understand what some of the information is. Would like more features to drill down on code to know what areas of the code base are hotspots, and features to help support forecasting of work. Review Source KH Kaynen H. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Software" December 1, 2020 4.0 Pros Jellyfish really is good at a doing a lot of things. I primarily use it to help track my own velocity and ensuring quality of stories in our backlog. It's great at visualizing those things. Cons There is a fairly steep learning curve. I feel as if training is vital to be able to use the product well. I also believe that having consistency across an organization is important as well. Review Source CA Colin A. Agile Program Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful agile tool, still incorporating data into my reports" December 17, 2020 4.0 It's good. It has all of the raw data and it's just a matter of getting alignment on using this in our company reporting. Pros I've long been an advocate of knowing metrics for agile practices; beyond burndown percentages. Jellyfish surfaces this data and helps me prove that teams are becoming more efficient over time. Cons I think a lot of this is on me, I'm not incorporating data from Jellyfish into my professional goals/OKRs. There is a long process of buy-in at my company and this is slowing a greater embrace of Jellyfish data. Reason for choosing Jellyfish You can hack this in Looker, but it's a good chunk of work.

Sr. Director - Program Management Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Using Jellyfish for SW Release Program Management" December 1, 2020 5.0 Satisfied user Pros JIRA Issues, Epics, etc. data mining and ease of use Cons lack of User configuration to create custom reports Review Source PT Pedro T. Director of Software Engineering Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The most complete Engineering Analytics tool" December 11, 2020 4.0 My experience has been great os far. The product is very useful and the customer support is brilliant. Pros This engineering analytics tool closes the gap between engineering and the executives because it makes the translation of the engineering activity into business metrics/language. That is super helpful for any company to understand its operation efficiency and where to improve. Cons Although the product is quite complete I would like to have more indicators (business and engineering). Review Source JC Jonathan C. Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very insightful" December 16, 2020 5.0 Pros Jellyfish provides visibility into almost anything that can be measured or counted about my teams' output, as recorded in Github and Jira. All these different measures have to be taken in context to be of any value, but Jellyfish supports building a picture by offering quick navigation into and across different metrics and ways of aggregating them. Cons It's no con on the part of Jellyfish, but these metrics could be used poorly or abused. Review Source CW Chad W. Software Development Team Lead E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product to keep a pulse on the team" December 15, 2020 4.0 Pros \- The high-level project overview provides insight into where the team has been focusing their efforts - Provides a deep-dive into metrics for individual contributors paving the way for constructive feedback Cons \- In comparison to competing products it is missing some IC metrics (risk, churn, impact etc.) - the tool is more focused on throughput metrics, and doesn't analyze code commits to determine the "fuzzier" context. Review Source LT Luis T. VP, Engineering Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Gives you what you put in to it" December 15, 2020 4.0 Pros Easy to partition raw data and splice it into useful formats once you get over the initial setup hurdle. Cons Easy to forget that the results you get are heavily skewed by the way your teams work with Jira. You get what you put in to it, and if you don't keep that in mind, you'll make decisions based on wrong assumptions. This is more a critique of the philosophy of the product than the product itself though. Review Source AM Alan M. CTO Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Get visibility to your engineering " December 15, 2020 4.0 Pros The integration into GitHub and JIRA work well to give a high level view and well as the ability to deep dive on organization work. I particularly like the ability to see allocation per projects/areas. Cons Sometimes the detail get too detailed too fast. High level is great but it feels like the product could do with a mid-level of insights. Review Source HW Hendra W. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awesome development work tracking" December 17, 2020 4.0 Overall Jellyfish is a great tool to give a snapshot of various KPIs for projects, teams, and individual. I love the charts. Pros I like the software's intelligence to integrate various software development platforms into a single place and present it with a complete analysis of projects and teams. Cons There are some metrics that retrieves from a set of information that may not be enough to give complete picture of an analysis, e.g. productivity. Sometimes, offline work, e.g. meeting or offline discussion were not tracked in the system does not appear anywhere in the system. Review Source JH Joseph H. Technical Owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love the idea behind it" December 15, 2020 5.0 Pros Love the idea behind it. Great way to help evaluate how teams and individuals are performing in comparison to each other. Cons Would like easy dashboards to compare teams and team members to each other Review Source ND Narendra D. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing software" December 23, 2020 5.0 Pros Very helpful to track coding day, number of story points completed Cons Software is slow and laggy. Takes lots of time to load.
