65 DevDynamics Reviews
We recently set up an internal goal about measuring the tech teams performance at a granular level and DevDynamics has played a huge role in it. The different metrics that are already pre-built on the platform helps analyse team's performance from day one.
Their support team is also pretty helpful and proactive in taking care of your needs as an organization and even helps in implementation if you need something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes a lot of metrics do increase the cognitive load for a new user. If the dashboard designs can be improved, it can help new users explore the product easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, the metrics view is super useful. I just open DevDynamics and straight up see our DORA numbers deployment frequency, lead time, failure rate, everything in one place. No chasing folks for data, no digging through dashboards. It saves me so much time, especially before leadership reviews. I can actually show proper numbers instead of saying we're doing well.

I still have to take screenshots of the dashboard for my deck. Would be great if there was a one-click export or something. Not a dealbreaker, but yeah, small things like this matter when you're short on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Before using Signals, sprint planning often felt like guessing, and halfway through, things would start to fall apart. I wouldn’t notice issues like too many pull requests (PRs) or team members being overloaded until it was too late to fix them. With Signals, I get instant alerts when something isn’t right, like PRs stacking up or someone having too much work.
One time that really stood out was when Signals showed me that one developer was handling most of the PR merges. It wasn’t something I would have noticed on my own, and it wasn’t sustainable. We spread the work out more evenly, and right away, things felt smoother and less chaotic.
Another big help is the mid-sprint email report. It gives me a clear view of whether we’re on track or if we need to make changes. Instead of dealing with problems after they’ve gotten out of hand, we can fix them early. The team is less stressed, and we have more time to focus on actual work.

So far, looks pretty good. We are enjoying using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a developer, I’m mostly neck-deep in code or running around closing tickets. Tracking every single PR? Honestly, it’s not always in my head. But the Slack alerts? Total game changer. If a PR’s just sitting there, doing nothing for too long, I get an alert. Simple. I can jump on it right then. It’s like having a little helper who’s always on top of things, so I don’t have to keep checking every 10 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I mean, it’s great, but sometimes I wish I could adjust the alerts more like, you know, mark certain PRs as more important than others. But ya, even without that, it’s saving so much time. Not something I’d really complain about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Before I started using DevDynamics, tracking our velocity and quality metrics felt like a full-time job. I spent a lot of time trying to piece together data from Jira, GitHub, and spreadsheets. With my involvement in multiple projects, finding the right information was time-consuming. DevDynamics made it easy by setting up a weekly email report for me. I once wanted a report with some changes, and the team got back to me pretty quickly with a new report format.
A lot of time which went into figuring out where things are stuck got reduced with the weekly reports which has allowed me to act faster on issues. Overall the time to detecting bottlenecks and getting insights has reduced so that has overall helped us get faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say. The team has been pretty approachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To get any meaningful insight into a project and identify bottlenecks, I typically need to check at least five tabs: GitHub, Jira, Sonar, Slack, and spreadsheets. What I really value about this platform is the instant clarity it provides. Having everything in one place allows me to see the status of the tasks and projects being completed. It has saved me countless hours that I would have otherwise spent searching for issues; now, I can focus directly on solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't encountered any significant issues yet, but I would appreciate it if the weekly AI reports you send via email were also accessible on the platform. That would make it much easier to reference them later. Also, a handy mobile app could help the top management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don’t have time to dig into 10 tools. This dashboard just shows me what I need deploys, contributors, DORA, bugs all in one view. I open it, and in 30 seconds I know if things are moving or we’re in trouble. The best part? I don’t have to ping anyone asking for updates, it’s already there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be nice if I could share just one team's view as a link, not the whole org. But overall, honestly, it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sprint reviews are generally painful. Half the meeting was spent pulling data, the other half was arguing about what went wrong. And still, we’d end up with vague takeaways.
Sprint Insights just tells me the truth. Spot bottlenecks instantly. PR delays, blockers, weird cycle times I know exactly what’s messing us up. No more guesswork. The system highlights issues before they blow up.
Hard facts = accountability. We know who’s stuck, where, and why.
Now, sprint reviews actually help us fix problems instead of just talking about them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A downloadable report will be helpful which i can use in weekly checkins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DevDynamics makes it really easy to integrate with tools like Git, Jira, and other development platforms. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, and their customer support team is always super helpful. The platform works well for all engineering roles, giving great visibility into team workflows and efficiency. It’s been really useful for spotting bottlenecks and helping us improve productivity overall.
The best thing is that it gives granular data which each manager can interpret and action based on their unique project / team / ecosystem dynamics.
The feature to track investment in KTLO vs New features is also great which helps in estimating for capacity planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice if there was a section to store all the reports that were generated previously, so it’s easier to find them later.
Also it would be good to have comparisons over standard time periods such as q-o-q or m-o-m.
Ability to remove spikes due to anomalies would also make the data less noisy. Example: at times if the Program team decides to clean up JIRA, the counts can become anomalous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Doing capitalisation of engg cost is a manual effort which usually required me reaching out to multiple stake holders and getting their inputs and then classifying the costs but good job on this feature that now I dont have to spend a lot of time doing the basic data gathering. This new update of DevDynamics with Software capitalisation feature saves a lot of man hours.
Helps me differentiate between R&D and KTLO/BAU tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have had a very limited use case of it till now, havent explored the platform fully but so far looks good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
