Allstacks Reviews & Product Details

The most helpful part of Allstacks is having views and statistics for all of our teams in one place with metrics aggregated across multiple data sources. Allstacks also has great customer support that is willing to help ensure that we have everything that our company needs. With a simple integration process for multiple sources of data, we can easily share data across our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data syncing currently occurs once per day. While that is sufficient for keeping track of overall data aggregation, a more up to date sync of data would be much more convenient for ensuring changes are accurate instead of returning a day later to confirm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to capture key metrics on team performance and helps identify areas of improvement and delta's we can get the teams to focus on.

I like the forecasting abilities as well - this is critical in the delivery space, takes the guess work out and removes the need for me to tediously manually calculate forecasts (which I was doing prior to using Allstacks) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the ability to see the teams work on a sprintly basis (by default); We are still able to get this by changing date ranges, but would be great if we can set this as a default feature

Say vs Do widget - would be great to be able to change the date ranges so they are more in-line with sprints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allstacks allows us to visualize data like never before. Trends around execution and delivery metrics become much easier to follow. It is quick and straightforward to enable the integrations to allow us to pull from our different repositiories and systems. The Allstacks team are very receptive to feedback and constantly implementing additional features to add value to the product. We're now using this on a daily basis and have built it into many of our processes and meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it can be challenging to understand the forecasts and estimations. At the end of the day these projections can only be as good as your source data, which is not necessarily a fault of Allstacks but certainly an area for our organization to improve upon.

I do wish that the synchronization of data was more frequent as we are often making changes in Jira and need to wait until the following day to see them represented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support provided by the team makes our team getting onboarded into allstack smoothly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data are not fully real time and we have to wait for the daily sync Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to dig into metrics for specific periods and see activity for an individual across multiple tools (Jira, GitHub) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like the ability to create saved filter sets so that I can return to those metrics without drilling down over and over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had a very helpful client rep that worked diligently with us to get us set up. Once we were up and going the visibility to our thrashing issues was tremendous. We were able to cut down on our key metrics and track that over time very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I don't like about AllStacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Transparency - it's really powerful having the ability to view the underlying data for the metrics/charts. This was not an option with other tools I've used (e.g Pluralsite Flow) and it allows me to track down the root cause of a negative trend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of these aren't dislikes, they are just feature requests.

The biggest thing is customizability. There is already a lot of great options when it comes to customization - e.g filtering; tweaking metrics' configurations; customizing dashboards; etc - but it would be great to have the ability to create my own metrics outside of the standard metrics that are available. I'm thinking this would be like a sandbox where we have access to all data that's available and can build custom charts/metrics. For example, I know Allstacks has time tracking data, but I really have no way to access it. Another example is the milestones and portfolio - I wish it was easier to customize the underlying tickets. For example, I wish I could filter out subtasks for my milestones.

I wish there was a way to see the specific lines of code that lead to a certain data point. For example, we can see the # of lines that are considered churn, but we cannot see the specific lines of code. It would be super helpful if I could open up a window from the data to see which lines of code resulted in the churn data. This would help me coach more effectively.

I wish we could filter out certain folders in a repository. For example, test files lead to a lot of noise in the data, like churn (I would expect more churn in tests). It would make the data more accurate/useful if I was able to filter out certain folders that don't matter to me as much.

I also wish it was easier to copy existing metrics/charts. I know Allstacks is continuously adding improvements - e.g ability to duplicate a dashboard; ability to edit a chart within a dashboard - so I have confidence this will continue. But as of today, it's not easy to just copy a single chart from one dashboard to another Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides great visualizations around several key metrics for managing an engineering team's performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything that isn't working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a manager, I can quickly see how my 3 teams are doing against current objectives. I can focus my energy on the programs that are starting to fall behind plan. Great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need to set some time aside to learn what are the most useful views for yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I know exactly what team is working on, how much is complete, find blockers/issues, and start to ask questions to the team using it's portfolio view. Engineering Managers are also able to dive-deep into engineering metrics, such as cycle time, PR approvals, and individual contributions. We use it for both promotion packet generation and for performance improvement plans. It's great to put objective data along with observed behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ETL process is slow and only happens 1 time a day. I also think the CI/CD tooling support needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
