What do you like best about Flow?

Quantifying work is made a lot easier than how we were doing that in Jira. We decided to utilize some metrics like TT100 productive, daily check-ins, check-ins per day etc... and used those to quantify a monthly bonus to incentivize the team toward better more consistent practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

- Support for Jira could be better

- Switching between reports resets the date range

- Authors are sometimes duplicated requiring periodic clean-up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flow:

It's easy to test so might as well give it a try, you'll likely appreciate it as we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We wanted a better view into how the team progressed. The team has complete buy-in which has led to better estimates overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

It is a very useful tool to analyse how all the technical aspects of a project are going Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

It is very, very expensive. Especially for a small team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helped us finish our project quicker, by objectively showing the exact areas where my inexperienced team was struggling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

The detailed data and reporting across multiple code repositories allows for an unprecedented view of engineering activity. Hard data is for the first time available to support the impact (or lack of impact) of engineering cultural and process changes. Ability to look at things from a 10,000ft team-wide view down to a single contributor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

There is a learning curve to interpreting the data. Ideally some of the charts would be able to show longer time frames at once, and outlier removal settings would be customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flow:

Monitoring GitPrime allows you set up "New Relic" like monitoring for an Engineering Team. If as a result of using this product you get one developer back on track, or part ways with a bad apple you more than recoup your costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use the software, among other things, to ensure our team is productive, new team members are ramping up as expected, and that code reviews are being conducted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

In terns of software engineering, the way this solution handles data and metrics is impressive. I love that it has the ability to highlight the work pattern, view recent patterns and organizational mappings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Only thing I could see as an issue would be the fact that it's extremely tedious at times to track metrics and can be really expensive for a small development team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

recommended for companies with larger deliverables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

GitPrime helps with confident decision making regarding team performance, and it helps me do it much quicker. I don't have to rely on larger or abstract mechanisms OR just my intuition. I love that it gives me coaching opps to do a 1-1 with someone on my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

If I could set goals with notifications/updates, that would be tremendously helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

Story points and ticks are not always enough to judge project progress. This tool really makes progress visualization appealing and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Most of it is already good, I believe it is still in the development stage and will improve on its loading speed soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Use it to manage and maintain the speed of the project. It also helps me divide and visualize the work of each individual in each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

Nothing. I can see why no one has heard of this program. It is awful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Everything. It's slow, it has limited features, it's expensive. This is why I like TechCalc100 Engineering Software better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mean, we're doing out best, but this program is holding us back a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

The metrics really reflect the productivity of the team, over the las 18 years I've using multiple tools and this is the only one with metrics that are not abstract or very hard to match to reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Pricing, it is the only reason why I'm not using it right now. It is not related to its quality, but as a 15 developers software development company ( and having frequently contractors or customers accessing the repos) we cannot afford to spend the same amount of money we pay for the whole dev support tools (Jira, Confluence , Tempo, Bitbucket, Slack, Invision, Adobe Cloud, Opsgenie, etc ) on a single tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flow:

Give it a look, if you can afford it, it is a really useful tool and provides data that really reflects the reality of your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Measuring developers productivity on global distributed team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flow?

GitPrime helps bring visibility to Engineers who are somewhat stuck, hitting it out of the park, and helping others among other behaviors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flow?

Correlating the insights with the solutions being engineered would be ideal. The tool reports code behaviors but those insights are disconnected from tickets, themes, and other business initiatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GitPrime helps Engineers better understand how their behavior impacts their performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
