What do you like best about the product?
I like how our team was able to keep track of deliverables and confidently predict our planned delivery timeline to inform our partners in coordinated projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, I found it difficult to utilize the product are our organization dramatically grew in scope and overall personnel on our team. I found it difficult to internalize the metrics in an easy format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As our team grew in size, it also grew dramatically in scope. As we took on more projects, we needed a way to manage our projects within. We needed a way to measure the work of each engineer and team.
Loooove this application so much!
What do you like best about the product?
I have had the absolute pleasure of working closely with Jellyfish as we continue to shape our personalized dashboard. Not only have I learned new skills while aiding in the Jellyfish onboarding process, but now I am the champion of Jellyfish for our company and I get to nerd out on all the intricate metrics Jellyfish reports on for us. It's a really great tool for high-level view of our dev team work but simultaneously helps us be mindful of our data hygiene and it has helped aid in better work habits.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's truly difficult to say that I dislike anything about Jellyfish at this point. It's still a very new product and there are lots of iterations happening, which is exciting. But if there is one thing I currently dislike, is the lack of an "admin" role for our company, within Jellyfish. So we cannot meddle around with thing, or invite folks or... a number of things YET. But I am very optimistic!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish is giving us detailed and current metrics for our development org, by the team, by the individual, and even on a more granular level if we're looking at work by issues from Jira or GitHub. It's helping us show the real reasons why we need to hire more people for our team. Jellyfish gives us exactly where our engineers are spending their time working and it becomes logical after that, as to whether or not we need to hire more or not. That's just one of the main benefits, but there are more!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your company heavily uses Jira and Github for your dev work, Jellyfish has been an amazing addition to our tool belt for the detailed view of what work is actually being done on our team. 10/10 recommend.
Great tool for viewing Github stats
What do you like best about the product?
It makes it easy to view Github statistics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the charts and stats are generated more quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to reduce the time between an open PR and how long it takes for it to be merged.
Review from a long time, two company user of Jellyfish
What do you like best about the product?
For me, I love the product/deliverables dashboards, which provide insight into all associated Jira work to the primary mission. Being able to see the whole picture allows me to see status, trends, while also pointing out Jira hygiene issues if/when we have them.
In addition to those, I like the ability to view our investments across maintenance, customer commits, growth, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like more self-service capabilities, including more flexibility to slice and present the data. In addition, configuration with Jira (mapping fields) would be beneficial for us as we make changes. Finally, the ability to embed Jellyfish in other tools (Confluence, Domo, etc.) would benefit the entire team as we want to centralize our locations for where data is accessible within the org.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish shines a light on gaps or weakness in our configuration and setup, whether thats Jira hygiene, resource allocation, etc. In addition, JF provides executive level clarity around our investment in KTLO, which helps us to make annual decisions around investments.
Once you have this level of visibility, hard to imagine making do without it
What do you like best about the product?
Provides multiple, valuable perspectives on how we're allocating resources across different projects and initiatives. Provides a great summary for executive briefings, but also allows me to dig into individual projects, teams, and engineers. Provides the type of analysis and overview that Jira / Github never prioritized. Those tools are great for developers and PMs, but Jellyfish transforms that data into powerful insights for leadership / management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Eventually Jellyfish has an opportunity to not just provide analysis at a point-in-time, but become the system of record for month-over-month, quarter-over-quarter, year-over-year performance. As tickets and PRs get shuffled or reclassified after the fact, this changes the narrative. Excited to someday offload all of my historical performance tracking to Jellyfish.

Strong Engineering Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Jellyfish lets me zoom out to an overall view of Engineering org metrics and just as easily drill into performance along a particular metric, team or individual engineer. By far the most comprehensive tool I looked at in this regard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike, UI takes a little getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the Engineering leader, Jellyfish allows me to efficiently understand the health and performance of the Engineering org and communicate that to external stakeholders.
Fantastic tool for product leaders to monitor and review R&D progress
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Jira and custom data via CSV file imports are seamless. Data can be updated on demand and available in minutes. Analysis of data is very easy and I can incorporate the data into executive and board decks to help explain the areas of product investment. For our engineering leadership, having outputs that show the impact of our various squads can help identify teams that are crushing it or provide an early warning to squads that may be struggling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall the tool is fantastic. I do wish that there was some more consistency in the data visuals. I also have trouble remembering where to find things in the tool. Because I am not in the tool every day, I just bookmark the key pages so I can ensure I am consistent when generating reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish helps me, as a product leader, validate how our work is getting accomplished to achieve desired business outcomes.
Jellyfish is an awesome tool
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish saves a ton of time in pulling together metrics and creating charts as we work to provide data on where our engineering time goes. It helps our engineering managers understand the amount of time they spend on infrastructure and burning down their technical debt and our product managers ensure they're reinvesting enough in fast-follow features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jellyfish isn't ad configurable as building charting and analysis myself when we used excel, but what we lack in flexibility we make up in ease of use and in time saved in the analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to understand where our engineering time is going, and whether we're spending the right balance on roadmap, on product reinvestment, on support and on product infrastructure.
We've been able to confirm we're in balance, and help the teams refocus as needed to ensure we're investing in the product in the right proportions.

Jellyfish is a great entry in a new and important engineering leadership tool category.
What do you like best about the product?
I've used a number of similar products in this space, Jellyfish was the only one that had both very complete metrics but also focused on what value the organization is delivering. I found the latter especially important, as many of the competitors felt like they are more focused on tracking which employees are doing work on which days. With Jellyfish, I was able to up-level from just individual metrics to true organization metrics that show where our investments are going along side productivity statistics. That view allows me to make more strategic decisions than other data I've used in the past, and getting it is very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI took a little getting used to, it's clear that they focused on a strong data model and excellent data ingest over a clean UI. Once I spent a day or two in the product I got the basics, and after a week or two I was able to understand where to go to answer different questions but it's definitely an area that took some getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I believe that modern engineering organizations need to rely on metrics both in evaluating the health of their org and communicating status to peers and upward. Compiling those statistics is not easy though, all of the data is there but it's locked in disparate ticking and source code systems. Jellyfish solves the hard problem of mapping the data into those systems into key metrics and a view as to where engineering investments are going.
The immediate benefits I realized was an ability to better communicate status of my org and our projects outside of my organization. The clear time series data helped convey where the company's engineering headcount was working every month and quarter. I've also had some good success bringing those some metrics back to the team, so that we have some objective measures to see how process and innovation experiments change the way we work.
