Implementing Port for our internal development team
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility to define our own data models and mappings. This really make the possibilities with Port endless and has allowed us to build some pretty helpful dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some inconsistencies in the implementation of some features. For instance, a self-service action on an entity will pass the entities title by default whereas an automation will pass the entities identifier. This isn't outlined in any documentation and we had to figure it out during implementation. We've found a few instances of this where the documentation does not outline the limitations and we need to ask Port employees for clarification on how something is supposed to work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Port is solving a few important problems for us. Mainly bringing important related information from many disparate systems into a single view. This allows us to see issues and opportunities we wouldn't see by looking at these resources in isolation. We are in the midst of creating self-service actions which will help us solve the issues around not having consistent processes.
easy to use developer portal
What do you like best about the product?
the ability to integrate all sorts of information and aggregate them to show developers a central view of their services status and related information. ocean framework which allows you to build your own data exporter easily. self-service actions that can be used to trigger many automations and it's easy to manage its inputs and permission restriction.
What do you dislike about the product?
incomplete documentation. many features are not well documentated, or lack of examples. the syntax explanation for some yaml files like data mapping selector for github integration would be helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the data about our platform and services are scattered everywhere. and developers navigating between different internal tools (aws console, datadog, pagerduty) take time and sometimes could be unintuitive. having a central place where you can aggregate all these information and be able to show their internal relations will reduce the time spent on these developement unrelated activities.
Fast paced product with lot support for all platforms
What do you like best about the product?
The way it integrates with other platforms and how it gives you the flexibility to build what is requried for your organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times there might be too many options to perform a single action, which is confusing at times and might lead to frustrations. The terraform provider can be improved, largely if it would just be support json files I think is what it needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think we are not there yet but is should help us streamline developer ineraction with infrastructure
Port is a good product
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy working closely with the Support team and also leveraging the customizations for Port to be able to replace our internal service tooling for health dashboards, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no current robust design system, and they are not currently accessible. There are gaps in their UX that they're actively working on, which is appreciated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helpful to reduce the number of services, tooling and software our developers use internally. It also serves to be a source of truth.
All our tasks were successfully migrated to port.
What do you like best about the product?
We needed a tool that could interact with our infrastructure and be flexible for business calls. The port has fulfilled all the tasks set for it.
We like in the Port:
- UI
- a lot of integration
- simple bootstrap

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the things we need are not developed as quickly as we would like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is the user interface for our users to interact with our infrastructure
I love this developer portal, esp after I failed with Backstage
What do you like best about the product?
Port has significantly simplified the onboarding process for new developers. Having a centralized portal with all business and services interconnected in one place really helps developers find everything in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had to do some serious scoping work initially - to align all stakeholders etc. I don’t like doing that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we had about 7 interfaces developers needed to access in order to self serve, and it was all over the place, not repeatable and not scalable. Also, we had problems complying with AppSec
A game-changer for our organization
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is intuitive and simple to master, which ensures that both our developers and engineers will understand its possibilities within a very short time, reducing the need for extensive training by allowing staff to focus on simple tasks.
Port features a modular and configurable architecture, that is integrated at many levels with existing systems and workflows. The transitionless connectivity unlocks our worker’s time from repetitive tasks, developing the power for them to focus on creative and high-level work. The capability to personalize Port towards the unique conditions of business is the factor that turned different tasks into an opportunity not a challenge .
Port's dashboards give real-time inputs, provide deep knowledge, and streamline collaboration across teams with reliable sources of information. This guarantees that users receive accurate and current information about services and internal procedures. As a result, Port acts as a tool for team-based disability improvement by focusing on knowledge exchange and alignment.
Port simplifies procedures, empowers individuals, and increases communication by providing an effective, user-friendly platform. Following tight attendance requirements, productivity gains have coincided with the company's overall innovation.

What do you dislike about the product?
One area that requires consideration is the time of each self-service form and defining what each software catalog blueprint should look like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Port's IDP faced one main issue, which was the problem of obtaining and interpreting data about microservices. It is very easy for a developer to obtain this kind of information through embedded graphs and real-time status updates facilitated by an interface which is very convenient to use. Port's IDP has significantly cut down the time and effort of monitoring as well as identifying microservices, which brings a great relief for our team members, who are now able to concentrate on the enhancement, instead of on the bug fixing.
Similar to the scenario, the self-service actions would minimize the developers' workflow by attempting to simplify their everyday tasks. Developer deployment actions have independent authority, allowing them to create cloud resources, deploy microservices, and then monitor their performance without requiring approval or assistance from the DevOps team.
