Makes my world easier by the day
What do you like best about the product?
I love Jellyfish as it gives me a fresh daily look at ensuring work allocations and provides insight from a higher-level view which wasn't transparent before using Jellyfish
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing to dislike about Jellyfish.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work allocation is not being transparent. With jellyfish, that has been resolved. Thanks
Great Insights provided from Jellyfish
What do you like best about the product?
Provides great insight into how our teams and people are performing with respect to CapEx and OpEx to grow the business.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuration is not the easiest as a new user and some things are not configurable by us requiring asking for some changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing greater insights into where our efforts are focused and the costs. It also helps to see how our PRs are moving through the system.
Great experience all around
What do you like best about the product?
The support team is amazing! We've brought up issues we're seeing and they've rolled out fixes in the same day.
The metrics Jellyfish provides are fantastic. It helps us determine areas of improvement, focus on pain points, and measure the effects of changes we've implemented. This kind of visibility is supremely useful as we try to balance our efforts between features, bugs, and technical changes.

What do you dislike about the product?
While I was not personally involved in this part of the setup, the overhead and organization needed to get Jellyfish up and running is not insignificant. It's very important to get it right. Garbage in leads to garbage out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish provides a one stop shop to see and investigate cycle times, allocation of work, individual and team productivity stats, sprint metrics, and epic progress.
Powerful Efficiency Measurement Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish's analytics platform provides a powerful solution for measuring employees efficiency, offering valuable insights that empower informed decision-making and streamline workflows. It enables us to gain deep visibility into our activities and make data-driven improvements.
What do you dislike about the product?
After actively using Jellyfish for three months, we have not encountered any drawbacks or disadvantages. The platform has been consistently reliable and effective in delivering the analytics and insights we need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish effectively addresses our need to measure engineering activity and identify areas for improvement. By utilizing various plots and graphs provided by Jellyfish, we can easily pinpoint weaknesses in our processes and take corrective actions promptly. This ultimately leads to enhanced efficiency, optimized workflows, and better overall outcomes for our business.
Unifying teams and process across the organization
What do you like best about the product?
The tool delivers insights for the executive staff, individual teams, and managers. We found things to improve within days of deploying Jellyfish. It provides meaningful metrics for measuring engineering productivity.
Over time we have seen a big uptake from the individual team managers as they start to learn more about the different tools and features on offer. Different managers are getting value from the tool in ways that we did not anticipate. Integrating Jellyfish across the organization has helped highlight areas for process improvement, in addition to giving us actionable metrics.
The support team is highly responsive and helpful and works with us to ensure our custom needs are met. I wish all our vendors were this engaged.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike with Jellyfish and I cannot wait to see what future features they deliver.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish is solving the problems of productivity visibility, engineering FTE allocation and process unification. Jellyfish is driving a complete rewrite of our engineering best practices and processes for the better.
Driving Business Alignment and transformational change within Engineering
What do you like best about the product?
All companies face several engineering challenges, with most having a root cause of 'lack of alignment'. As a CTO/CIO, we must align investments and see ROI. JellyFish has been instrumental in understanding our investment distribution and allocating team members to products. We've seen an immediate impact with alignment (are we indeed focused on Roadmap/Innovation, or is the reality "KTLO/Bugs"). Additionally, the new scenario planner will help support tactical strategies to remediate late Epics (projects). We've improved Speed, Processes, Productivity, and Collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet; however, one feature we'd like to see is scenario-based benchmarks to drive high-level organizational goals (OKRs with baseline metrics).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We strategically staffed a product and aligned expectations using the investment distribution. This has helped reduce operating budgets and level-set expectations with business partners (product management + executive leadership). Additionally, we can focus on behaviors/actions that generate value.
Great product and great team
What do you like best about the product?
I can answer a lot more of my questions about where the team is investing their time, the value of those investments, and the overall balance. Their team are also super engaged and helped us realize very quick wins.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything I don't like about Jellyfish.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Balancing investments, measuring ROI, and reporting on alignment with strategic direction.
Provides visibility and insights team by team into the investments made and work being done
What do you like best about the product?
I can quickly see where teams are investing their time and energy in times of projects and in terms of value. I have the ability to talk to any product manager on my team and ask why we are making “this investment”. I can identify what teams need help with which aspects in the development process. We can have meaningful conversations about which investments are too big or when the “Works in Progress” load gets too high. As engineering and product leaders, we can collaborate to understand which teams need more coaching regarding their development practices. And best of all, I can quickly and easily provide clarity to the rest of the executive team and the board about where our bandwidth is being used. Simply put, it allows me to focus on the strategy and the people rather than the administration.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s not really anything that I “dislike”. Like any tool, there are things I want to do with it that are just not completely built out, but those things tend to be stylistic like colors and ordering on graphs and charts. However, for anyone that is thinking about Jellyfish, understand that there is an investment that needs to be made in understanding the product, evaluating how you operate Jira, and determining how to make those work together. The team at Jellyfish has been great, but there’s a certain level of understanding you need to have to partner with the team to get it set up to be effective for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the visibility into project work. It helps me talk with product managers about the size of the investment relative to the value that we get from the investment. It helps me collaborate with our engineering leaders to understand where teams need additional support to be successful. It helps me explain to the organization where the team is investing their time and energy at a holistic level, which helps the conversation about what we can take on in terms of new initiatives and in what timeframes.
Great insights to help focus efficiencies
What do you like best about the product?
The level of detail at both broad (org) and granular (team) levels allows me to expose areas for improvement and track changes easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike, in all honesty. Adding report exports in a more customizable way would be helpful but not a deal breaker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish helps me uncover inefficiencies at the team and organizational levels. It also helps me track focus investment back to real-world impacts like revenue and churn.
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.
