What do you like best about Flow?

Goes about a 100 times deeper on software engineering metrics than your standard commits per day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Managers should understand this tool does not tell the full story. It's a good conversation starter in a 1:1 and a good way to get a pulse on your engineering team. Dangerous in the wrong hands - like anyone who doesn't come from software engineering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flow solving and how is that benefiting you?

It will prove you wrong or right, when you suspect someone isn't working. It's a good conversation starter in 1:1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Pluralsight Flow in my fortnightly one-on-ones with my engineers. The metrics from Flow are great for giving me an idea of how my guys are tracking and where they need to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Some of the metrics are a bit hard to understand. Also, it would be great if there were more metrics around my people's comments on pull requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pluralsight Flow helps me understand what my team is doing, how well they are doing it, and where they need to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is constantly changing and figure that I've come to love and rely on just vanish overnight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

How to correlate so many engineering metrics to allow the teams and leadership to have a more accurate view of teams and individuals' performance. It's great to have an easy way to combine all the different data points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

I've had some dashboards not working correctly but support has been great to help to get them working at a fashionable time. Some other times it has been around configuration changes on our end that unexpectedly broke the configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flow solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting to understand teams' opportunities for improvement in a comprehensive way and not only from a couple of metrics but leveraging different dimensions that contribute to the state of the teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

It is not always clear how metrices are being calculated. In my team I have quite a few parttime team members. Most of the metrices (e.g. coding days) don't take this into account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
