It has represented a great improvement in our development life cycle
What do you like best about the product?
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
What do you dislike about the product?
Although they do it in some ways, it may be helpful to receive more guidance on how to improve KPIs such as cycle time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to be more agile in software delivery, and now we are. We can compare ourselves with the industry and be much more objective when analyzing our team's flows and performance

A great tool to focus your dev team in to what really matters
What do you like best about the product?
LinearB provides excellent KPIs, industry benchmarks, and seamless Jira and Slack integrations. Highly recommended for improving team performance and achieving our OKRs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing bad to say. Great support team too
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LinearB has transformed our team's productivity. Before using LinearB, we could not measure developer performance and lacked agility. But with LinearB's metrics, we introduced feature toggles and quickly achieved elite performance. The team felt more agile, and we changed our daily organization and planning process accordingly.
LinearB also helped solve issues with team participation in pull requests and task completion. In fact, after a couple of meetings with LinearB, we even migrated to Jira and are very happy with the results

Best product in the market
What do you like best about the product?
The best things about LinearB are the variety of metrics and data available within the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main thing missing at the moment is an option to display data in business days instead of calendar days time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped our development teams become more efficient in development through reducing work in progress.
It has some metrics but also annoying notifications
What do you like best about the product?
You will be provided with some metrics from your Git repositories that can help you to understand the performance of your team in terms of lines of code and code review, but not necessarily performance in terms of developed user features.
What do you dislike about the product?
It had a lot of annoying notifications on Slack and emails. For example, if someone approved a Merge Request, you will receive the default GitLab notification, but also the LinearB (WorkerB) notification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't use it anymore. The company decided to stop using its services and now we are using usehaystack.io. It helped with some metrics but Haystack has better metrics.
Best Tool in the market to measure performance on software development.
What do you like best about the product?
With LinearB you have a granular view of the cycle time on software development, it also provides with all sort of reports for Product, stakeholders, developers evaluation, the integration with github and jira makes LinearB a unique solution in the market
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no downside when using LinearB. The software does what it says it does, customer suport it's world-class, and the investment is positive ROI in the first 30 days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Granular measurement of the code developed, increase in the overall velocity, better planning accuracy on the product side, full reports on the performance of our CI/CD platform
Great concept but terrible and inaccurate execution.
What do you like best about the product?
The concept is great, but its copied from more capable competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's intended to make product development more efficient by improving observability but given the data errors LinearB wasn't a significant driver in any positive change for our organisation.
Path to an elite engineering team
What do you like best about the product?
LinearB tracks GitHub commits and Pull requests and divides the cycle time into 4 of its main constituents. This helps easily identify where we lack in as a team and which is our biggest pain point.
What do you dislike about the product?
LinearB looks pretty new and is currently only integrated with JIRA. It would have been helpful it could have also integrated it with Linear, because having Issue tickets along with PR helps identify the time spent on an issue and not just on GitHub.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First, it provides a quantifiable metric that we as an engineering team strive to achieve. The DORA metric visualisation of the dashboards helps engineers not dive into these metrics themselves.
Great insights on the analytics provided by the tool
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making quick business decisions.
Great tool to measure overall progression over bitbucket and jira
What do you like best about the product?
Having the ability to differentiate different sprints where jira doesn't have inbuilt tools
What do you dislike about the product?
History could be more extended for free plan users
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Such as seeing the average review and comment count on PR's
Very nice tool for understanding the bottlenecks in your dev lifecycle
What do you like best about the product?
Charts and visual presentation of the results. The comparison (against industry averages) are also useful, though that might be a bit subjective.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Understanding dev bottlenecks
- Measuring some KPIs for us, so that we wouldn't have to
