A competent product for tracking engineering efforts
What do you like best about the product?
The views around team productivity, commit history, AI adoption, and other facets help give context on team efforts, allowing us to refine areas of inefficiency and prove out the effects of various workflow improvements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The metrics-centric approach can drive teams to focus exclusively on improving the metrics without understanding why their improvement matters. This can lead to "gaming the system" types of approaches. Guidance for managers about why the metrics matter and how to improve them in a healthy manner, as well as red flags to look for around metric-only improvement, would be ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets us see into points of friction that have been institutionalized / accepted over time, allowing us to identify and fix these to improve both cycle time and morale.
Great overall look at productivity in the org
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to break down metrics by teams and cycles is amazing
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that the sprint predictability measure could use some work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is able to get me insights into team productivity and that helps free cycles up
Much needed platform for engineering and product operations
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish provides a great set of features, dashboards, and metrics to help you be on top of your engineering and product operations.
Without it, you stitch 10 tools togetter and fight multiple custom integrations.
With it, you have a single pane of glass view for your engineering and part of the product ops.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can feel a bit cluttered as a lot of things are packed into a single interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides visibility to a lot of engineering metrics, which helps to be on top of engineering excellence and performance measurement.
Good product to work with
What do you like best about the product?
Does a great job at pulling together metrics and insights from multiple sources to give us a single pane of glass view of engineering health. I like the fact that their product teams have the ear to the ground, bring together feedback from industry and users, to continuously evolve the product
What do you dislike about the product?
I cannot think of anything at this time. Nothing of significance

Insights and metrics of the R&D teams
Visibility into Engineering Work and Priorities
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish gives engineering leaders visibility into where time is being spent. It helps break down work across projects, KTLO, and initiatives so teams can see alignment with priorities. The reporting makes it easier to have data-driven conversations about tradeoffs and capacity.
The biggest upside is clarity. Jellyfish takes data that’s usually scattered across git, tickets, and spreadsheets and brings it into one place. This reduces guesswork and helps managers and executives align on what teams are working on and how it connects to strategy. It also helps track trends over time, like cycle time or allocation shifts, which makes planning and retrospectives more grounded.

What do you dislike about Jellyfish?
The tool can feel rigid. The categorization of work is powerful but depends on tagging and setup, which creates extra overhead. Some managers worry about metrics being misused against individuals rather than used for organizational insight. The interface can also be overwhelming at first, and not all dashboards are intuitive without training.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish solves the problem of visibility in engineering work. Before, it was difficult to understand how much time was going into projects, KTLO, and unplanned work. Now we can see how work maps to company priorities and track trends like cycle time and allocation shifts. This helps with planning, resourcing, and having grounded conversations with executives about tradeoffs. It reduces guesswork, builds trust in data, and makes it easier to align engineering with product and business goals.
Empowers Engineering Leadership with First-Class Support
What do you like best about the product?
I find Jellyfish incredibly powerful for understanding engineering workflows and facilitating improvements. Its visualisations and out-of-the-box data exposure empower my engineering managers to elevate their analysis and understanding of their team's flow. The scenario planner is highly valuable in aligning estimates with capacity, aiding productive capacity planning discussions, and, most crucially, understanding when something will be done. Furthermore, the insight derived from using Life Cycle Explorer to identify bottlenecks and enhance team interactions is invaluable. The first-class support from the Jellyfish team, including quick assistance from individuals like Andrey, also significantly enhances my experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find some parts of the user interface not intuitive enough, which could be improved for better user experience. Additionally, while the scenario planning feature is useful, incorporating more embedded tools like milestones and projections would enhance its functionality (Little's Law in particular). The insights provided could also be more actionable by offering suggestions on how to improve areas of friction and better training for users to understand concepts, such as estimates and their role in agility and the SDLC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Jellyfish to understand and improve team planning, delivery, and investment, empower engineering managers, tackle stream-level bottlenecks, identify communication issues, and enhance team collaboration.
Easy to Use Reporting for Capitalization
What do you like best about the product?
As an accounting user of the system, the ease and simplicity of generating reporting that can be used to support our software capitalization calculations saved us many hours of manual work over our old process.
What do you dislike about the product?
The visibility into HOW Jellyfish determines the allocation of FTE time isn't great, and can be confusing for auditors and new users of the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish solved our problem of needing to manually calculate capitalizable work time.
Useful if used appropriately
What do you like best about the product?
* summary metrics
* integration of Jira + Confluence + GitHub data
* integration of Jira + Confluence + GitHub data
What do you dislike about the product?
* can easily be used in superficial and short-sighted ways to equate developer output with developer impact
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personally it is not solving a problem for me but I appreciate that the metrics are transparent to engineers
Streamlined and Insightful for Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how Jellyfish makes complex project tracking feel simple. The dashboards are clear, and it’s easy to see where priorities and resources are aligned. It helps connect strategy to execution without feeling overwhelming.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting can sometimes feel a little rigid if you want to customize things deeply. It’s great for high-level visibility, but drilling into very specific use cases occasionally takes extra effort. I’d also love to see more integrations with other tools we use day-to-day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
better view for team analytics
Jellyfish Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to see what has impacted a sprint and when one of my developers might have struggled to complete work during a spting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish data updated real time for thing like sprint metrics, and open pull requests
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use jellyfish to analyze project health, sprint velocity, and performance of our engineering team
