Gives teams a way to plan and track improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Our company has always cared about developer experience but rolling out DX has given them a way to make systematic improvements. As a team we review the results every sprint and triage actions we’re going to take to improve. It feels like it’s become embedded in our retros and made them much more productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
We really want the ability to find the right person that should review a PR and ping them directly. My manager has said this is on DX’s roadmap, but it’s something we’re missing right now that would definitely be used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives us a way to see what problems are affecting the team most, and plan and track improvements
Review of DX
What do you like best about the product?
Our company is very interested in building a highly efficient engineering organization and DX is instrumental in this. First off, the product gives us the ability to track team hierarchy information which was pretty much impossible previously. But the visibility we get from getting both the sentiment and quantitative metrics in DX is something we’ve never had before.
What we like best about DX is their methodology for measuring developer productivity and the research that’s gone into developing it. We also appreciate their additional consulting and support services to support us.

What do you dislike about the product?
DX has been a partner to us and has been very responsive when there’s a dashboard or a feature we’re wanting to see in DX. So right now, there hasn’t been anything they haven’t addressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives the company direction as to how to act on our goal to improve organizational effectiveness
Great support and features
What do you like best about the product?
The support we've been having so far is great. Every request has been fullfilled one way or another.
New feautes are added frequently. The platform delivers what it promises and everyone feels satisfied from it (devs, team leaders, c-level). The integration was also seamless.

What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some changes in core features and the way the platform looks which disorients the users. Being under active development takes a toll on stability and user habits.
Also, trying to mix up a bit of everything to catch up with competitors might not be the best strategy in the long run. The platform was very inclined towards qualitative data but more data integration points are coming up to support quantitve data too. Let's see how this goes...

Identifying painpoints in teams and developer experience, backing them with data.
Great product and great CS
What do you like best about the product?
DX is THE product for developer experience, on my side the possibility to gather the feedbacks and see the evolution of the action taken is fundamental.
Specially in an org that growth a lot, that evolve a lot it helps to improve and prioritize decisions, and to have also (after few iterations) some sort of "hysterical perspective" of these evolutions in product.
And this is just a fraction, there could be an impact on many other things (retention for example, educate teams to have a recurrent discussions on things, data to start those discussion etc)

What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest so far nothing, really nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
-Gathering feedbacks frequently
-Educate to a transparent feedback culture
-See correlations and prioritize our actions
-It's an amazing tool to start our product QBR
-helps to spot inefficiencies

Clear signals that enable you to build an effective developer experience strategy
What do you like best about the product?
DX have understood the key challenges around gathering data and making that data actionable in how they've designed the DX product. These are related but separate challenges; DX uses extremely smart survey design, UX/UI and presents the data gathered in a way that drives the right conversations at multiple levels in our organisation. I've used DX as an Engineering Director building organisation design, strategy and investment cases, I've also used DX as an Engineering Manager looking to dial in the right improvements and focus efforts across what would otherwise be a broad and confusing spectrum of concerns.
DX are also a great company to work with; because their product is more about holding a mirror up than locking you into their tech stack, the relationship is more partnership in exploring the challenges and opportunities in the devex space. They're always evolving and adding new features in line with the very latest research and are good at not backing themselves into any product corners, with the DX product remaining flexible and extensible to emerging industry insights.

What do you dislike about the product?
Less about DX itself, but I can understand why many customers (including me) have asked to add extra questions and survey areas and I think avoiding pitfalls with this and how it affects the core DX data has been a key part of the conversation. Perhaps DX should build a separate area where custom questions can live, as one of the central reasons people ask this is because they want to leverage the high engagement % they get on the DX platform and avoid having to send out other surveys (and the related fatigue that brings).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Engineering enablement and platform teams in general tend to lack product management and it's always risky to assume you know where to focus efforts across a really broad socio-technical domain like developer experience. Teams have different experiences, goals and constriants so gathering data effectively has been a number one challenge for a long time. DX solves this and has both survey questions and the product experience itself designed to give us the signals we need to investigate and build change around.
DX is A Fast and Complete DX and Metrics Platform
What do you like best about the product?
1. DX seems to support everything. It's really nice to be able to look at engineering sentiment, setup my weekly code reading, and also look at metrics in one place.
2. The site is very fast, which makes a big difference when skimming through feedback and work logs from large teams.
a. This really encourages me to do quick daily actions like reading through an engineers PRs before a 1:1
3. The notifications are excellent and have a very high signal to noise ratio. Almost every notification is something that I can or should act on.
a. The ability to also wire these notifications up for my team is nice

What do you dislike about the product?
1. DX and DX Frontline seem like pretty separate pieces of software that you have to configure separately (eg. putting teams into both sides). This is a bit inconvenient.
2. Some features seem just a bit incomplete, eg. Frontline's calendar view is not as nice for quickly browsing work as some alternatives. It gets the job done, but it's missing a couple nice to have UX features.
