LinearB Reviews & Product Details

The largest benefit is seeing how the code flows through your system from start to finish. The quick and easy insights LinearB provides fosters great discussions within teams on what impacts their ability to get code deployed. Many of our teams have found the work that happens outside of coding in the largest hindrence to productivity, not writing the code itself. Also, this has fostered discussions on how best the team wants to work together to balance focus time with collaboration time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinearB is working on building out better enterprise like features. Working with a larger engineering organization some parts are a bit difficult to manage. The team is very receptive to feedback though and I'm looking forward to the improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinearB is a great tool to link Github (or Git) activity with a ticketing system, and get an overview of what's happening from a code perspective when you have lots of repos and teams. The automation with WorkerB saves a lot of engineering time and smooths out a lot of manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the Shortcut integration was as good as the Jira integration. We don't use Jira, and would like to see the rich project management tracking. But LinearB is one of the only tools that supports Shortcut so it's still worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinearB is rich with data and insights while managing to avoid the massive and bewildering dump of data that some competing products deliver. We have easily and quickly been able to use LinearB to find areas of focus in our operations, drive improvements, and see real-time results in LinearB. We've had questions and Support responds lightning fast. We have also found a couple defects -- we're a software company too, we get it, there's no such thing as defect-free software. Support landed on them like marines on the beach. One was fixed literally one hour after we reported it. The other was a little more complicated, and we saw it rapidly escalated for focused attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few minor features we wish for that remain in their backlog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinearB makes the engineering processes and flows visible by exposing a large number of engineering metrics. It helps me as the VP R&D to have educated discussions with my direct reports and with my CEO. I can identify bottlenecks quickly, measure the team efficiency and the developer experience and improve based on data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In general I like LinearB, there are cases where it is not clear how the calculation are made and it require me to invest more time, especially in the integration phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

linearb focus is on empowering teams to improve by making their bottlenecks more visible and measurable.

while it's not a super opinionanted tool, it makes it easier to follow Lean principles, and accelerate on continuous delivery (eg. using DORA metrics, and go deeper from there), which is among the few engineering north starts with science behind it.

we tried for a long time to use tools that were more focused on reporting resource utilization and budgetting, that checked some boxes but weren't really driving a culture of continuous improvement.

linearb clicked almost immediately with engineers and EMs, including some aha! moments right on onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

overall a great experience, I think deeper integrations to complete the workflow of continuous improvement would make sense and they seem to be investing in that direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinearB has been great for the teams at Flipdish. LinearB is integrated with our Github and JIRA accounts allowing teams to benchmark themselves against other Engineering teams in the market. These delivery metrics have a cascading impact on improving business outcomes while the teams focus on solving the correct problems. LinearB helps pinpoint areas of flow that can be enhanced and trends the result of their improvement exercises, dramatically boosting team morale and engagement.

Setting up teams with LinearB is easy. Syncing team structure from GitHub allows seamless integration and removing the admin associated with setting up tools and starting to use them effectively from day one.

LinearB can easily give you an overview of where Engineering organisations are spending their time and on what initiatives maximising the ROI for your most valuable business outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is important to remember that LinearB is an excellent tool for Engineering leaders driving teams to improve efficiency, but this needs to be tied back to company metrics and objectives to realise business value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinearB helped my teams understand the metrics they care about - cycle time ; review time ; PR size ; merge frequency; planning accuracy ; issues done. Before LinearB, our leadership ran their teams without having this data available at their fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some features that used to lack from LinearB. However, the LinearB team have always been super helpful and responsive in hearing me out and helping to prioritize the missing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using LinearB for over a year, and I remember vividly how it helped us identify problems in our cycle time through its rich data analytics and in-depth metrics. In addition, LinearB has been an invaluable tool for enabling and promoting our delivery capabilities.

Needless to say, the support from Linear throughout this journey has been phenomenal. Guy Rahamim has been our account manager and is just an absolute superstar.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that springs to mind, but more granular access over individual/group permissions is something worth considering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LinearB provides excellent KPIs, industry benchmarks, and seamless Jira and Slack integrations. Highly recommended for improving team performance and achieving our OKRs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing bad to say. Great support team too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mainly, being able to obtain metrics and being objective in our performance evaluations, measuring ourselves against benchmarks within software. We were looking for a tool to know easily whats our cycle time and linearB give us this in a very intuitive way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although they do it in some ways, it may be helpful to receive more guidance on how to improve KPIs such as cycle time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
