Portal for Modern Engineering Teams
What do you like best about the product?
Working with Port has been really smooth thanks to their fantastic support team. Whenever we need help, they're quick to respond and really know their stuff.
What I love most is how easy it is to make Port work for our needs - you can add your own integrations if you need to, plus there are lots of ready-made ones from both Port and the community.
The interface is super easy to use, and you can set it up so different team members see exactly what they need without getting overwhelmed. It's really helped our team work better together.

What do you dislike about the product?
Our biggest challenge has been creating value for our individual contributors to drive them to the platform. The value is most clear and easily explained to our leads and managers. They exist, but I would like to see more guides or best practices on this topic from the industry or similar customers of Port.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Systems Catalogue: Centralized database of IT assets to improve resource allocation, capacity planning, and risk mitigation.
Observability and Ownership: Monitor and understand the performance, health, and behavior of services to ensure reliability and availability.
Scorecard: Measure and track system performance to understand and prioritize areas for improvement.

Port is Flexible and Easy to Integrate
What do you like best about the product?
Port enables organizations to create a very flexible data model that represents their SDLC and organization, while also the ability to import and map data to that structure very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Port offers little opinion or direction as an Internal Developer Portal, in guiding organizations with best practices (rather it makes it easy if you have your own opinions).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Port solves the problem of managing so many different tools, by consolidating data and context to build views that never existed before, offering visibility on best practices to teams, while also giving them self-service action catalog and interface.
The service itself is very good, but it might require some more time to mature.
What do you like best about the product?
- It is very flexible.
- It joins catalog with self-service.
- Support is fast
- User interface is simple

What do you dislike about the product?
- Plenty of bugs
- Some key features still missing
- Not enough managed integrations (have to install some exporters)
- Some user interface actions are not self intuitive (might cause data loss when not expected)
- No native version control integration (e.g. Git file changes)
- No managed self-service inte4grations (e.g. Helm is one of the most common standards used to install applications, self-service actions could be automatically created based on Helm chart definition and then this definition could be used to display data in catalog)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily catalog automation (up to date information about our services, automtic integrations and automatic generation of "missing information" reports, in this case we use scoreboards and tables).
We are also using it to provide self-service actions.
The main problem it's solving is management complexity of similar self-hosted services (e.g. Backstage)

Very nice UI for our end users!
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very nice and was very fast adopted by our end users. I really like the fact that we can write github workflows and keep the whole control on our end while the UI side is handled gracefully by Port :)
What do you dislike about the product?
It lacks of customizable features regarding the UI (i.e: icons no way to upload custom icons, etc)
Difficult to troubleshoot jq queries in json

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Port allows us to provide a self-service catalog to our developers. It ensure that permissions / reviews are still checked but allow ease and automation of the whole process which makes it much more reactive and win/win for both end: requester/reviewers.
