What do you dislike about the product?
The individual developer metrics are not very useful and make the interface feel cluttered
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Waydev is a platform that helps the company I work for gain full visibility across all types of work. What we loved the most was the variety of insights Waydev provided, which helped to increase communication and visibility between managers and their teams... ultimately, this drove critical alignment. The fact that waydev can integrate with other tools that we use consistently across the board made the decision to implement Waydev easy. Overall, this is a great product for a better understanding of how engineering and product come together. Weydev looks more holistically at what engineering is working on and how it ties back to the overall road map and big-picture goals.
Keeping our Medical Software Development on Track
What do you like best about the product?
In healthcare software, deadlines aren't just business goals, they're tied to regulations approvals. Waydev's weekly summaries have been a lifesaver for keeping tabs on progress without breathing down the dev team's necks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could pull historical data from further back to compare older projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We catch delays early now. If a review is stalled or someone is overloaded, we see it right away and fix it. That's helped us hit release dates more consistently and keep compliance docs in order.
Finally, a Clear picture of our Dev Team's work.
What do you like best about the product?
Before Waydev, figuring out our dev team was doing was basically educated guesswork. We'd look at Jira tickets, ask around and hope we had the full story. With Waydev, I can open one dashboard and instantly see where the work is flowing and where it's getting stuck. I really like that it pulls data from Github, no extra reports or check-ins needed from the team
What do you dislike about the product?
The first week felt a little overwhelming, there's a lot of data to take in before you figure out what's most useful for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're not wasting time chasing updates anymore. If a task is dragging, we know if it's because the code is complex, stuck in review, or just waiting for approval. It's made our sprints smooth and our deadlines way more realistic.
Good software for understanding how engineering and product come together
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that it gives a more product centric view to engineering output. Rather than focusing on reducing engineers down to an abstract number making opaque claims about individual impart, Waydev looks more holistically at what engineering is working on, how it ties back to roadmap and higher level goals, and really helps understand where time is being spent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The individual developer metrics are not very useful. I would be fine with not having them, but as it is, we don't use them so it,s kind of clutter in the interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been great so far. It was a slow start for us because we also had to transition to using jira rather than Github issues, But as we've finalized processes, We're starting to have a nice trove of data to help with planning and facilitate discussions amongst engineering leadership and with the product organization.
Great Platform to review the engineering metrics
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use
Gives you an insight on most of the required metrics
Team is very supportive and helps in onboarding
Though the documentation is not very detailed but the team is working towards it
Quite easy to integrate it with git

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes might require updates from the engineers at Waydev
Permission sets need more work and follow industry standards

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Waydev is helping us track the engineering metrics so that we can be a better team.
It helps us understand the pitfalls and plan to avoid them in the future.
It also helps us in monitoring the progress of each and every engineer.

Waydev helps collect and organize our data to provide insights on the team's work
What do you like best about the product?
The automated emails that share the key information about the teams performance. It can be difficult to stay on top of all the metrics that matter to the team, but the emails remove that cognitive load.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting up-to-speed on how to best leverage waydev took more time than anticipated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It collects and organizes the data that matters to me. It can be difficult to stay on top of all the requirements behind managing a large software team, however the automate emails with key metrics allows me to set it and forget it.
It's a great tool for monitoring the development team's performance
What do you like best about the product?
I found the setup process really simple. You have to connect to your git provider and Jira but it's really only a few clicks and the documentation provided was extremely clear. There are a lot of metrics you can track and you can create custom dashboards to organize them. The DORA metrics are also a great objective benchmark to compare against.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found anything I dislike about it yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was hard to objectively determine how well the development teams, as well as individual members are performing. With Waydev we can decide on the metrics that are important for us and track team performance easily against those so we can spot immediately what needs improvement and how to approach it.
No brainer for large teams
What do you like best about the product?
Waydev provides multiple data points that help technical and non technical managers better manager their engineering efforts and critical points. As a Eng manager and founder of over 15 years, I believe that data can compliment the natural skills of most Eng managers out there. Also, as a former competitor of Waydev, I can attest that this is currently the best solution out there for those looking for a solution in this space!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far though a public roadmap and more developer evangelism would be beneficial
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring a remote team in the post covid era to pick up on crucial points often missed in qualitative assessments
A powerup to our sprint retrospectives and my one on ones!
What do you like best about the product?
Waydev has ceratinly been super helpful brining in more quantitative data to our sprint retrospectives, and my one on ones. It helps paint a better story of throughput and avoids "I'm feeling X", but rather "based on X metric...".
What do you dislike about the product?
I think a way to customized dashboards to be more specific on what you need but this is a tiny thing as the default one is fantastic!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Again, it's really helping provide a lot of out-of-the-box analytics on speed of output metrics and stability of output metrics, which are absolutely essential to a startup. It saves me a lot of time.
