Strong Engineering Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Jellyfish lets me zoom out to an overall view of Engineering org metrics and just as easily drill into performance along a particular metric, team or individual engineer. By far the most comprehensive tool I looked at in this regard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike, UI takes a little getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the Engineering leader, Jellyfish allows me to efficiently understand the health and performance of the Engineering org and communicate that to external stakeholders.

Fantastic tool for product leaders to monitor and review R&D progress
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Jira and custom data via CSV file imports are seamless. Data can be updated on demand and available in minutes. Analysis of data is very easy and I can incorporate the data into executive and board decks to help explain the areas of product investment. For our engineering leadership, having outputs that show the impact of our various squads can help identify teams that are crushing it or provide an early warning to squads that may be struggling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall the tool is fantastic. I do wish that there was some more consistency in the data visuals. I also have trouble remembering where to find things in the tool. Because I am not in the tool every day, I just bookmark the key pages so I can ensure I am consistent when generating reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish helps me, as a product leader, validate how our work is getting accomplished to achieve desired business outcomes.
Jellyfish is an awesome tool
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish saves a ton of time in pulling together metrics and creating charts as we work to provide data on where our engineering time goes. It helps our engineering managers understand the amount of time they spend on infrastructure and burning down their technical debt and our product managers ensure they're reinvesting enough in fast-follow features.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jellyfish isn't ad configurable as building charting and analysis myself when we used excel, but what we lack in flexibility we make up in ease of use and in time saved in the analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to understand where our engineering time is going, and whether we're spending the right balance on roadmap, on product reinvestment, on support and on product infrastructure.
We've been able to confirm we're in balance, and help the teams refocus as needed to ensure we're investing in the product in the right proportions.

Jellyfish is a great entry in a new and important engineering leadership tool category.
What do you like best about the product?
I've used a number of similar products in this space, Jellyfish was the only one that had both very complete metrics but also focused on what value the organization is delivering. I found the latter especially important, as many of the competitors felt like they are more focused on tracking which employees are doing work on which days. With Jellyfish, I was able to up-level from just individual metrics to true organization metrics that show where our investments are going along side productivity statistics. That view allows me to make more strategic decisions than other data I've used in the past, and getting it is very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI took a little getting used to, it's clear that they focused on a strong data model and excellent data ingest over a clean UI. Once I spent a day or two in the product I got the basics, and after a week or two I was able to understand where to go to answer different questions but it's definitely an area that took some getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I believe that modern engineering organizations need to rely on metrics both in evaluating the health of their org and communicating status to peers and upward. Compiling those statistics is not easy though, all of the data is there but it's locked in disparate ticking and source code systems. Jellyfish solves the hard problem of mapping the data into those systems into key metrics and a view as to where engineering investments are going.
The immediate benefits I realized was an ability to better communicate status of my org and our projects outside of my organization. The clear time series data helped convey where the company's engineering headcount was working every month and quarter. I've also had some good success bringing those some metrics back to the team, so that we have some objective measures to see how process and innovation experiments change the way we work.
