Great for Tracking Commits, No Complaints
What do you like best about the product?
I can easily track Git commits and monitor my progress, gaining all the insights I need. The interface is straightforward and simple to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is helpful for me. I am exploring it now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need to track git commits on a daily and time basis. This makes it easier to gain those insights.
Great for Visibility and Descriptive Analytics, But Predictive Features Need Work
What do you like best about the product?
JF gives at least the illusion of visibility into how our engineering org works. I appreciate that it normalizes over time instead of story points.
What do you dislike about the product?
JF seems to be good at descriptive analytics, but I haven't grown confident enough in it for it's predictive and prescriptive analytics (e.g. I see wild swings in resource planning which doesn't inspire confidence). I also would like to be able to integrate with people's calendars so we can normalize on how much is someone getting done per working day, not work day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have a much better sense of how our processes are working and where they're breaking down across our squads. I would like to use it more to gain a sense of bottlenecks in our processes. That's where I'm headed next.
Jellyfish: Turning Engineering data into strategic product insights
What do you like best about the product?
Its extensive integration capabilities allow it to pull data from Jira, GitHub, Slack, and other company channels, creating a holistic overview of engineering resource utilization. This information can then be connected back to company-wide initiatives, providing valuable insights.
Helps PM identifies bottleneck in the delivery across PM and engineering team.
Its very intuitive and easy to use

Its very intuitive and easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
What I find challenging about this is that, for it to be truly effective, it relies heavily on integration with other tools like Jira or GitHub. Additionally, its usefulness depends on people consistently following established processes. Without this, much of the dashboard in Jellyfish can end up being ineffective and inconclusive, which poses a significant challenge.
From tool perspective it has limited customisation option, so you have to changes your process to accommodate that. Its visual feel a bit outdated and there can be better filters

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool makes it much easier to connect the dots between roadmap priorities or initiatives and available engineering bandwidth. It also helps to identify bottlenecks in delivery.
Great Interface and Insights, but Needs Sprint Filtering at Org Level
What do you like best about the product?
The interface and the information provided on the tool helps a lot
What do you dislike about the product?
I can not filter by sprint if I am on an workstream ( org ) level
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Capex report and performance tracking features are useful for monitoring investments and evaluating how well projects are progressing. They help provide a clear overview of capital expenditures and make it easier to assess performance over time.
Great Centralized Metrics and Team Pulse, but Needs Better Workgroup Support
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate having a centralized view of all metrics and sprints, and I especially enjoy the Team Pulse feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
In our situation, we are unable to create workgroups within Jellyfish, which limits us, particularly when we have workgroups nested within our delivery teams. Relying solely on Delivery Area or Team feels restrictive in these cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized metrics, good sprint and allocation views
Great for Centralized Metrics, but Needs Custom Views and PTO Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Having all the key metrics for our business available in a single location is extremely helpful. The ability to customize how we view various activities makes it much easier to spot blind spots and refine our processes, allowing us to operate as efficiently as possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was an option to create custom views, especially a 'team level' home page that would help provide greater visibility for my engineers. Another feature I would really appreciate is the ability to factor in PTO when looking at our metrics. When someone is out for an extended period, or if several team members are away in the same week, it can significantly affect our numbers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool provides valuable visibility into our SDLC, helping us stay accountable while also highlighting blind spots and bottlenecks in our processes.
Great for Tracking Projects and Team Dynamics
What do you like best about the product?
It gives a good overview of what's going on in the organization: Which projects are ongoing, how much of the backlog is being worked on, what are the key focus areas, what people are working on. How does the team members interact with each other, what are the trends.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to understand / hard to find the documentation about how a specific metric is calculated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring what is being worked on, trends of team metrics, activity and interactions of developers is transparent.
Comprehensive Engineering Insights with Jellyfish Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish gathers events from development tools like Jira and Git, then combines this information with business data such as finance, HR, and calendar details. This integration provides a comprehensive overview of the engineering team's activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform provides thorough monitoring of the team, allowing me to see exactly where efforts and resources are being allocated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Difficulty measuring productivity and efficiency without reliable metrics
Great for Tracking Team Performance and Productivity Trends
What do you like best about the product?
As a manager, it gives me a lot of insights into the velocity of my team, the spot performance checks, and it's very helpful when it comes time for performance reviews to give me longer term trends on improving productivity or quality.
What do you dislike about the product?
For my specific team, we don't really track defects in a way that is reflected in jellyfish. We don't actually use that feature of jellyfish. Benchmarking is also not something I'm particularly interested in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, Jellyfish helps answer the question, is the team high performing as a whole and are individual team members carrying their weight and if not, what possible clues do I have as to why. Also, I'm looking at trends and if there's a gap in performance that corresponds to a project shift or reorg within the company, that might help explain an otherwise potentially alarming performance drop.
Accurate Insights Into Engineering Work and Industry Best Practices
What do you like best about the product?
Tells me very accurately what types of work that the engineers in my org are working on. It's helpful for reporting to senior leadership, and for making decisions and prioritizing work. It's also very helpful to know where teams all the way down to the individual are in respect to industry best practices such as coding standards and AI adoption.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of any downsides, TBH. It's different from other tools in that is just reports on the facts of my organization, and does not push out changes, it's reporting provides a helpful third party look on how we are doing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting all of the teams working towards a common goal. You can see if anyone is working on things that are not in alignment with other goals.
