What do you like best about Flow?

Seeing my own personal metrics and then also being able to compare them to my team. Tracking my progress through data visualization has been extremely helpful and has helped me improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

In the side panel, you can navigate to all the different metrics. I always forget which each one represents. It would be nice to have a sublabel describing it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flow:

Great product for talent development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been able to dramatically improve my commit patterns. I have increased my frequency and commit risk all through seeing the metrics in Flow. I also get to see how well I work with others through the PlayerCard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

The content is thorough and great for bridging into certifications and the oversight is excellent. The courses are very thorough and fleshed out as well which makes it great for communicating this to your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Pluralsight is a very expensive platform and locks you into a contract. This makes it very unfriendly towards small businesses who may be better off utilizing a free platform or one of many cheaper options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Flow had insight into commits and churn etc. but honestly wasn't any more useful than what DevOps or a similar platform already offers. Flow also wasn't the most intuitive to use so while it was helpful for breaking out certain information better than others, it had issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

Tutorials are very professional compared to udemy by professionalists. Previously I was using udemy, now. In my current organization, I have Pluralsight flow access; I can see the difference; it has highly professional quality tutorial content, i have done several courses like angular, CSS, LESS, project management, and more. Very good. It's easy to navigate on the training path can see the last uncompleted lesson and complete, some courses provide practical files for practical based learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Nothing as such, but it should be less expensive to students or individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

The most impressive features with Pluralsight Flow has been on the Developer Productivity, being able to look at coding efficiency, commits per day, and visualizing/integrating ML for predicting a project timeline Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

The Product is excellent. However, with the bank of features it has, it can be laggy sometimes. Also, it is sporadic and can be one-off instances; other than that, I have not faced any challenges with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The Biggest problems that Pluralsight Flow has solved for us are improving the developer productivity, SDLC timelines, collaboration within teams, cross-pollination amongst the various projects. As a manager, it is helpful for you to see how much each of your employees contributes to the overall project and how much of that work subsequently survives and makes it into the final build.

What do you like best about Flow?

The point by point information and detailing over various code stores takes into consideration a remarkable perspective on building action. Hard information is out of the blue accessible to help the effect (or absence of effect) of building social and procedure changes. Capacity to take a gander at things from a 10,000ft group wide view down to a solitary donor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

There isn't much I loathe about the item. As Ben Thompson and the GitPrime group know, I have a considerable rundown of item upgrades that I would love to see executed to give increasingly significant experiences to myself and my Engineering group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flow:

Give it a look, on the off chance that you can manage the cost of it, it is an extremely valuable instrument and gives information that truly mirrors the truth of your group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a superior view into how the group advanced. The group has total purchase in which has prompted better gauges by and large. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
