"Great tool for engineering managers. Very comprehensive analytics!"
5/5
What do you like best about Waydev?

One thing is that the platform is constantly improved and updated with new features. Also, we can really zoom into what the teams are doing, and that helps us spot any blockers or potential risks.

The flexibility of reporting is great, we can create custom reports and slice and dice metrics as we like. We also plugged in JIRA to help us understand how much we spend on unplanned work, bugs, and track the progress of our features.

The platform also plugs into Jenkins, which allows us to measure our teams’ DORA metrics automatically.

Another fantastic thing about the platform is that we can actually visualize the performance of our teams and set targets for them, so whenever they hit a certain point, the managers are notified.

It is a really great investment for us because we can see everything that went wrong in our processes, but also everything that was going well, so we could do the right moves, and take action in the right way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gives insights on areas to improve efficiency, succeeds to visualize tons of data in an grasable way"
5/5
What do you like best about Waydev?

I've only dug into the repository analysis so far, but what I've seen that appdev helps you look at the data from multiple different angles.

For example, the New work, refactor, help and churn categories are brilliant.

That helps you understand the different team members' ways of working, and is one of many data points that you get from appdev, to discuss on team retrospectives.

I can only imagine what you get on the Pull Requests, Storyboard statistics data, looking forward to digging more into those areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?
