"Game Changer"

5/5

What do you like best about LinearB?

Actionable insights at the click of a button! I've been so impressed with the ability to drill down and identify tasks/projects which are at risk, where others I would have been stuck digging into Jira and Github manually. Slack integration with WorkerB is a blessing as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LinearB?

Some features are only available with 30 days worth of insights. I'd love to see a more straightforward presentation of pricing and creating teams/admins. Views for leadership teams which simplify where a project is would be amazing as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great insights on the analytics provided by the tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about LinearB?

The metrics include - Delivery, Quality & Throughput. This gives us a good overview of how things are proceeding in your development workplace. Metrics like cycle time, lead time, and PR review time make a lot of sense and gives good analysis of your team or individual workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LinearB?

I think the free plan, i.e. of 90 days, was good enough. This gives a full quarter review of how things went and how to improve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great concept but terrible and inaccurate execution."

0/5

What do you like best about LinearB?

The concept is great, but its copied from more capable competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LinearB?

The data accuracy of the platform is embarrassing. Don't trust the metrics provided. For what is supposed to be a core competency data was regularly missing, incorrect or duplicated. Basic calculations were inaccurate. Support tried hard but was incapable of understanding even the most basic data problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very nice tool for understanding the bottlenecks in your dev lifecycle"

4.5/5

What do you like best about LinearB?

Charts and visual presentation of the results. The comparison (against industry averages) are also useful, though that might be a bit subjective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LinearB?

Nothing so far. We've used the tool for 3 months and it definitely identified some issues for us. I guess further usage will see what else LinearB has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about LinearB?

The clean and easy to use interface with all the relevant information at your fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LinearB?

Please could you add support for Discord.

The price is quite high for a South African company to swallow - you know Rand / Dollar exchange rate.

Do you have an offering for Open Source projects?

This might be far-fetched but how about some sort of Visual Studio Code / IDE plugin? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LinearB:

I can really recommend using LinearB, with its quick setup and valuable return on relevant and real-time information that will help cement solid business metrics and direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
