Great tool to help your team to get more structure and check their signals
What do you like best about the product?
I am enjoying Jellyfish helping monitor our teams and giving clear metrics to help us work more efficiently. You can find great dashboards for Sprint Planning, team health, Devops metrics, and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, I am still missing some clear, actionable items that we could follow to improve some metrics. This would help take the best of all the metrics the tool provides and help the teams to fast onboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding how the effort of Engineering is spread in the company, team health, devops metrics, and sprint planning. The tool is helping us to become more productive and focus on what matters.

Insightful for Directors and Managers
What do you like best about the product?
As someone sitting in Director of Engineering role, Jellyfish gives me insightful data about my teams. On a weekly basis, I can identify patterns across teams in a way that I can start brainstorming experiments to address issues and reduce risk.
What do you dislike about the product?
My company uses Jellyfish data to present the "state of engineering" on team level and department level every month. As part of that, we take screenshots from charts in Jellyfish. That is a really timeconsuming process, and would be great if Jellyfish had a "presenter mode" that allows us to choose widgets with charts that we want to present.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's really the only tool that I know that gives me overview data that matters about my teams in the engineering department. Without Jellyfish, I'd have to running all sorts of complex queries in Jira, which means that I'd just not do it consistently because it's too time-consuming.
Discovering the world of JellyFish
What do you like best about the product?
It is a new tool for me. We are looking for new ways to measure information to obtain better results and make better decisions and that is how we discovered JellyFish as an innovative proposal that facilitates information management and provides innovative solutions to problems that as a company we did not even think were so relevant. I think it is a very useful tool full of attractive features for the business
What do you dislike about the product?
Beyond finding something that I don't like, I think that something that can be improved is the accessibility to courses and training to learn how the tool works. It would be very useful to have a small certification in the use of JellyFish
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manage information and translate it into a friendlier environment. Incorporate the tool with the new developments that the company has to analyze the impact. We are starting to use it :)
VP of Engineering
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is clickable! I can quickly drill down from high-level executive summary views into the details. This allows me to better understand the signals I'm seeing, and quickly garner actionable insights (eg, whether or not I need to realign focus in am area and which team or individual to check in with, fix the way an epic is categorized, check in on a project that is projected to miss target date, etc).
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve. It was overwhelming at first, even with the awesome support from the customer success and implementation team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Dev allocation, cost reporting, and focus - we used to do these manually every month. It was labor intensive and error prone. And it was a very lagging indicator. Jellyfish does this all automatically for us in near real time. Now we not only benefit from automated allocation reporting on canddnces for quarterly business reviews, financial audits against P&L, and board-level reporting. We also benefit from real time view into where the efforts are going. This helps us ensure our teams are focused on the right things and quickly course correct rather than waiting for lagging indicators like missed deadlines or monthly manual reports.
2. Project management- the project and initiative view allows us to see in one screen how a project is going, what work is scoped vs active, and what the FTE effort/focus has been over time. It also projects target completion date. This has allowed us to easily see and show when there is scope creep, too little capacity, etc. It also shows the cost for the given project or initiative which is hugely helpful in calculating the investment portion of ROI.
3. Manager insights - our Engineering Managers have benefited from viewing their team activity. They use this information to catch unspoken blockers, influx of unplanned work, and metrics around productivity, quality, etc. We are still evolving how EMs use it but so far we have already garnered many usable insights.
4. Operational tuning - we are just getting our feet wet here but the team and org-level metrics are a powerful way for us to see how we are operating and areas for tuning. It is especially helpful that we can see our metrics compared to industry metrics, as well as an individual team's metrics against our Engineering-wide metrics.

Jellyfish does an excellent aggregating and displaying the data needed to understand where I am spending all my effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not yet sufficiently self-service, although recent releases have made great strides in that area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our initial use-based was preparing board-level presentations. The Allocations Screen was a superb tool for this purpose.
Growing Quickly
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish is quickly growing and listening to their customers' needs.
They have many great ways to organize and report on utilization metrics and adjust for our organization's needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
They are going through fast growth and changes. This requires extra attention to keep up with the pace of change and added functionality.
Being a newer product, they are also still missing some functionality that ultimately will be needed around admin control and configuration.
They cannot handle manual FTE time reporting for staff who do not show signals in JIRA. Many types of work go into the capitalization of software, not just engineers; unfortunately, Jellyfish can not capture these staff members today.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our teams were manually tracking time, and now many will be able to stop this manual practice and allow Jellyfish to report on their efforts.
This will also give insights into the spending on our efforts that has not previously been transparent at our orginization.

Great platform to explore team efficient and where teams are investing their time
What do you like best about the product?
I like they way it tracks work accurately, without effort by engineers. I also like the flexibility to categorize and group work that makes sense at our company.
My favorite part is that Jellyfish automates virtually all of the manual work I used to have to do to track Software CapEx!

What do you dislike about the product?
It took a little time to get used to the navigation, but they have been improving that over time.
Also sometimes it takes a good amount of time for data to refresh/recalculate. Some of this may be due to how we have things integrated with git.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish solves three problems for us:
1. The need to understand where we are investing our time
2. The need to track software dev CapEx
3. The need to give teams data to use to become more productive.
For us, the benefit is all timesavings and productivity.
