Actionable Insights
What do you like best about the product?
Uplevel provides actionable, easy-to-understand insights that enable our first-line managers, scrum leads and other team members to focus on what matters.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing- Uplevel is a great partner in understanding our goals and providing the data to support our goals and continuous improvement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work-Life balance for our teams and individual contributors. Data to enable focused retrospectives and identify opportunities for learning and improvement
Productivity analyser or Total work tracker
What do you like best about the product?
The concept behind it is very nice, the application integrates with other applications and compiles all data to find out if an engineer is getting stuck in too many meetings or unnecessary work than important work and it can also help you find out if someone is working for less time
What do you dislike about the product?
The concept and idea are nice but there should be some kind of calibration should be done because people can find tricks to fool the app, but yeah support is nice overall good application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application is allowing managers and other key people to get data on employess if everything is working fine or there are any flaws and bad patterns which can be figured out and productivity could be increased.
Great tool giving interesting insights
What do you like best about the product?
Being a manager of multiple teams managed by teams managers, I use the tool to detect roadblocks in the process. It is also interesting to analyse being always on and context switching factors; I use that data periodically to check those statistics with team members and discuss trends. I also like to regularly check Labs section e.g. Knowledge Silos is handy in determining areas requiring broader knowledge sharing. The support is also great and effective in solving issues or answering questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, the accuracy of the data was not great; it was prone to local anomalies (e.g. person on vac); this improved a lot over time with the feedback given. Similarly, the tool needed time to recognise and correctly mark categories of meetings and do not calculate those unconfirmed by individuals. However, after spending some time with the tool, it improved (also because of shared feedback), and I learned how to use it better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives me a complex overview on my teams work progress, helps identifying blockers and gives me datapoint to discuss mental wellness with my personnel (e.g. long activities, staying late, number of interruptions)
Lots of shiny features that don't provide me much actual value
What do you like best about the product?
All the metrics being in one place from Slack, JIRA, Calendar, Gitlab etc
What do you dislike about the product?
The metrics are not presented in a way that is conducive to drawing valuable insights or changing behaviors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Uplevel is surfacing a lot of operational metrics related to productivity which in theory could help guide my workflow to be more effective
As a employee, I don't actively use Uplevel as much as a manager
What do you like best about the product?
I like the general idea and purpose of Uplevel to collect the "active" or/and "inactive" working time based on meetings via google calendar, slack spending time, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are definitely limitations to the current design. For instance, relying based on "yes" or "no" answers from the google calendar for the meeting hours doesn't really prove much. Maybe using the zoom apis might have been better?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do not actively use Uplevel. I have tried to use it - going into its dashboard, looking around some data for me, and so on. However, I am unsure if the data provided to me was useful for me to change my working behavior.
Awesome Team Insights Tool!

This describe how people feel at work to notice the unhealthy behaviour to fix and rebalance the tasks and take more work life balance and sustainable growth in life.
What do you dislike about the product?
It should have weekly report in email to notify about how my week is going on. And have the suggestion to recommend me to do to improve my-self what I cando better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To see the overview of my work that I spent time for it and see what I can improve my work at company to ensure the sustainable growth with the team I working on it

What do you dislike about the product?
- May be not what I dislike, but I would like Uplevel to have some explanation about the proposal why we need to track data eg since everyone doing remote working, why your manager needs this data, for xxx, to convince the engineering team to have a right understanding that we are not tracking everything about them, but this data important since their managers would like to take care them as much as possible while remote working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have sufficient data to discuss with my engineers while doing remote work.
