Great platform to understand where we invest time and to find areas to improve processes
What do you like best about the product?
I like they way it tracks work accurately, without effort by engineers. Jellyfish is constantly improving how you can view allocations, progress against deliverables, and team health metrics.
My favorite part is that Jellyfish automates virtually all of the manual work I used to have to do to track Software CapEx!
Our CSM and the Jellyfish team is always quick to help us figure out how to do something new, and to get our feedback on new features.

What do you dislike about the product?
My only feedback is I think we'd get better adoption/buy-in from our product team if there was more transparency/detail how how time/work gets allocated on each team.
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 understand areas to dig into to help teams become more productive through retros and coaching
For us, the benefit is time savings and productivity.

Operational efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish helps to understand engineering work.
What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot do a bulk upload to update missing information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understand engineering work, Manage Tech Budget, Identify pain points and where to focus. Helps increase efficiency and productivity of the engineering Team.
Jellyfish takes the guesswork out of decision making
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish does a fantastic job of identifying a unit of work for engineers to understand how each resource is deployed in a given day, week, or sprint and accurately layer on data from Jira to provide precious insights into how engineering resources are allocated. We initially licensed Jellyfish to offer insights to engineering leadership into how our resources are deployed. The value has extended well beyond the engineering organization and delivers value to product, finance and program management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Over the next couple of years, I would like to see greater tooling around data hygiene for example, suggestions around mistagged epics and miscategorized employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish is helping us understand our investment allocation against strategic themes and initiatives and helping us make resourcing decisions based on business drivers set by our leadership.
Make sense out of the data
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish resolves a lot of product gaps within JIRA, such as providing reliable cycle time reporting and getting better BI on the epics.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface takes a lot of clicks to navigate and is difficult to use on small screens.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish has given us real cycle time reporting and epic statuses since those out-of-the-box in JIRA are nearly useless. This helps us with quarterly planning and knowing what our true utilization rates are.
Capitalization reporting without burdening engineers with time sheets
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish enables us to measure engineering productivity in a way that I don't think is possible with any other software. Not only does it aggregate data from multiple sources, but it also provides measurements that you can't easily/natively get from the source data.
Another major reason that we use Jellyfish is for capitalization reporting. Before Jellyfish, our finance team was basically guestimating what our capitalization spend was. Now with Jellyfish, our capitalization reporting is much more evidence-based which makes audits much easier to deal with.

What do you dislike about the product?
While there are very useful velocity/story point reports/metrics available for our sprint-based/scrum teams, there doesn't seem to be a great way to meaningfully use story point/velocity data for our Kanban teams with Jellyfish. There are plenty of other data points that we can leverage instead, but I'd like to see better ways to use our story point data for our kanban teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can see where engineers and engineering teams spend their time and group it into categories (product, tech debt, maintenance, etc.). We are able to put a dollar amount on the engineering effort of epics/stories worked on by our teams. Our finance team is able to confidently provide capitalization reporting based on reliable data that doesn't require engineers to log their time.
GITHUB Metrics for performance analysis of engineers
What do you like best about the product?
A good number of metrics are provided by Jellyfish
We do an analysis of a software engineer based on GitHub metrics collected by Jellyfish.
Jellyfish is used by all the managers in our current organisation.

What do you dislike about the product?
Jellyfish UI is a little old; it can be made engaging.
Jellyfish JIRA integration should be improved.
Jellyfish should give an alert if the candidates performance is going down.

Good metrics to improve the analyse the engineers
What do you like best about the product?
It gives metrics like
1. Number of coding days in a week.
2. Total time spent on code review
These metrics helps the managers to analyze the performance of a candidate.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see the following improvements
1. The UI can be improved
2. It can tell the manager if an engineer is overburden or not.
3. It should also do an analysis of figma too.

Unique tool to get insight of Agile and DevOps metrics
What do you like best about the product?
JellyFish collects the data from all tools and puts it into helpful information in different metrics.
The Engineering team can use these metrics to understand the gaps in their process to improve their team's efficiency, which eventually enhances the organization's overall efficiency.
Excellent product and support Team that responded quickly to resolve the problem.

What do you dislike about the product?
Role-based configuration could be better for set-up users of JellyFish.
Sometimes it felt like a lot of dependency on the JellyFish team to set up various things, which improved drastically with time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JellyFish provides a great dashboard and gives a big picture of the activities happening at the Developer, team, and organization levels which is helpful for engineering leaders.
Aggregate analytics in a few clicks
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish gives me immediate insight into how my team is doing, with line-level detail at a click of a button. It's also interesting to see the benchmarked data of any group against any group; team against company, company against external companies, team members against the team, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user experience is a bit jarring, depending on the platform user. For an executive, it's easy to see data for the entire organization. However, for an engineering manager, the default view is too macro. I want to default to my team on practically every page, but the default is always too large. I'd also prefer to dig into the configuration myself with the settings entirely at my disposal, such as what I have access to (self-service). Finally, finding what I'm looking for is difficult—I know the data is in the platform, but where? I'm not sure.
I want a dashboard to drill into the current team's metrics or velocity, with a metric that suggests whether a team member is being overworked and needs work to be spread out. LinearB, a competing product, has a dashboard like this.
