Good graphs, messy to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
Gitlab integration is pretty helpful. A ton of insights to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration with Jira is messy, I can´t see all the information from our board. Gathering the information from a team in a graph shows the total or sum for that particular problem, but we would like to see each developer per team in a graph.
It would be great if we could see defects per developer, as we can see churn code or refactor.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking activity and seeing bottlenecks before causing a major problem
A very complete platform
What do you like best about the product?
The way that we can use the platform to evaluate our engineers team. The insights provided make me take my teams to the next level. I've tried others tools, but waydev is the most complete and stable
What do you dislike about the product?
Is in development so, some features are not there yet. So you may experience some troubles and some delay in some features. but the constant improvemente is there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The way do evaluate, measure and developer development teams. I have increased in more than 600% lead time thanks to them. We sell more, developed better. It's a must have
Worry-less WFA Policy with Engineering Metrics
What do you like best about the product?
Monitoring engineering productivity at once. Knowing and understanding the timeline, issues/blockers in an objective manner. Increasing productivity of engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The system is not ready yet in a mobile application that I should able to monitor team performance in a pocket, anywhere, anytime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gathering more data to identify engineer capacity and work-life balance. The working hour's indicator is beneficial from the management point of view. The company is growing, and the codes are too!
Great concept with improvements needed
What do you like best about the product?
The concept is good, but improvement is required to provide a better user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer onboarding support; product configuration; lack of kanban agile process support

Produce DORA metrics to enable engineering managers to get clear views of their software development team
Waydev has provided valuable insights on our development team.
What do you like best about the product?
I've used and compared other tools, but Waydev seems to be the only one to combine all the features I need with customization options.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more detail into unplanned work types.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Waydev gives us visibility on our remote developers day to day work as well as trends over time.
Great Developer Team Insights with outstanding Customer Support
What do you like best about the product?
We have recently switched from a competitor developer analytics tool to Waydev and are super happy and impressed by its quality. In general, we see 4 big arguments for Waydev:
1.) The content they provide via mail and blog is great. I was reading it already for a long time before deciding to go with Waydev, and it was also the main reason why I decided to give it a try.
2.) They provide more KPIs than its competitors and seem to be the leading platform in this regard / have the highest product development speed. Here, I was rather disappointed by our previous tool, which seemed to be stuck for ~2 years after it got acquired by a bigger company.
3.) I just learnt after using Waydev how valuable it is to connect your CI pipeline to your KPIs. The combination of Git-hosting provider (Gitlab / Github), Jira / ticketing system and CI pipeline is really awesome and gives you the possibility to track your DORA metrics (if you don't know what it is, check Waydev's blog).
4.) Last but certainly not least, Waydev has outstanding customer support with super fast response times. But not only do they respond fast (and even the Head of Customer Success is reaching out), they also act fast. I had a few questions during my onboarding, and they were even able to speed up the connection of my repositories to make the onboarding smoother.

What do you dislike about the product?
The onboarding process was tricky. You need to start configuring your git hosting provider with all the repositories you want to use, you need to get an access token to your Jira system, and then you need to connect your CI pipeline tool. Although I was used to it, it took some time to go through. But the good thing is that the support was actively helping me during the process and as described above, was even able to speed up processes. And in comparison, the tool we were using before was even more complicated, so the onboarding is already much better than the competition :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It basically solves three problems for us and for me:
1.) When your development department gets bigger and is split across multiple teams / multiple repositories, it's very hard to keep track of all teams and team members. Waydev helps you to see your department's and team's KPIs, so that you can start conversations when KPIs go below what you would expect. In the end, even if it's just data and needs your interpretation, it's very valuable data that is hard to get somewhere else.
2.) In addition to my first point, it gives you KPIs you can use to report your department's status quo to upper management (or non-developers in general). Most KPIs do not require developer knowledge or only to a certain amount, so that you can easily use it align on business goals / how development can support these business goals.
3.) It just helps you to get better. I don't see it only as developer analytics, but more as a way for process improvements. Your code review timings go up? Check with your team and make sure they have enough time for quality reviews. No commits on Mondays? Maybe you need to split sprint meetings into multiple days, so that your devs have time every day. In general, it gives you a deep understanding of your team behavior and gives you ways to improve it.

We can analyze the individual and collective impact in different projects
We also use it to analyze recommendations, churn code, best team players, productivity, etc
It's very useful as well to evaluate if the teams are evolving and getting better velocity and impact
Waydev is very useful when you have big engineering teams that are quite dispersed and work remote mostly

A necessary tool for engineering managers who are into management by numbers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can alert you to potential problems but still need to deep dive ... not a problem that's ever going to be fully solvable.
