Powerful tool that allows you to make decisions based on data.
What do you like best about the product?
Personally, I like to make decisions based on data rather that a "feeling". This tool helps me dig into the data to really see what is happening and then make better decisions.
In this modern age and scale of my organization it is essential that you have the right tooling in place
Super easy to use

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to build more custom metrics.
It not a dislike, but i find that it is essential that you understand the principles of engineering best practice before using the data. The data in the wrong hands could cause issues. Take it with a pinch of salt.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Jellyfish provides excellent out-of-the-box dashboards and analytics, I would appreciate more flexibility to create custom operational reports on my own. Currently, most reporting customization requires going through their support team or using their standard templates. Having a more robust self-service report builder or additional customization options for operational metrics would make the platform even more powerful for organizations with specific reporting needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jellyfish has provided us with the deep visibility we needed into our development teams. Before implementing the tool, we were making organizational and process decisions based on subjective perceptions. Now we have objective metrics and real data to map engineering behaviors across our entire organization.
Tool provides valuable insight into our engineering performance
What do you like best about the product?
It is great working with the Jellyfish team. They are quick to respond to questions and provide one on one help when needed. They have many new features coming in that we are very excited to implement and start using. Our squads rely on these metrics to provide insight into what is and isn't working well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a little bit to figure out where to find certain information. But it is all good once you do understand where the different metrics are located.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides information on where we are spending resources. Helps in the planning and accounting processes.
Great insights into how your Engineering department and teams are doing!
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very intuitive, easy to set up and the features are very comprehensive.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to have the ability to attribute certain events that can be added to a team's delivery page that have impacted delivery to build up notes over a quarter to create a narrative that's accessible in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Giving me clear insights into how our Engineering department or a given team is doing and where our bottlenecks are. It's really useful to kickstart discussions based on what the data is showing us in Jellyfish.
Incredible Tool Providing Actionable Insights
What do you like best about the product?
Jellyfish is easy to use once it is configured for your environment. Set up is easy and straightforward. If you can capture it in Jira, it can be surfaced in Jellyfish. Our primary use case was borad-level insights and reporting. It was trivial to add the necessary metadata to Jira, allowing us to slice-and-dice the data as needed to present different views of resource allocation (e.g., by functional area, business area, etc.) for board presentation. Our seconday use case was Software Cost Capitalization. Again, this was easy to set up and the resultant data was clear, concise, and able to be used directly with our financial reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jellyfish's pricing model is a per-seat model for engineers making contributions to the product. This means that the annual cost increases as the team size grows. Jellyfish maintains that ALL engineers can benefit from logging into the system so, in that case,a per-seat charge might make sense. However, if your use-0case is such that only a handful of users (e.g., CTO, VPEs, Product Leaders) login to Jellyfish, a per-login model might be more palatable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest concerns were with board-level reporting and software cost capirtalization. Jellyfish is completelt meeting that need.
I love the quick visuals and dashboard to see how our team is doing
What do you like best about the product?
I like how I can quickly see the progress of work, the productivity and the main ideas that were the key themes for a given period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking ability to integrate within existing products, but thats an issue with many other similar platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives a quick and deep view into the development work and how it ties to investments. Helps highlight areas that are not contributing to KPI and ability to quickly break them apart.
Excellent Tool that Had Immediate Impact Identifying Team Workflow Problems
What do you like best about the product?
Fantastic metrics that shows how time was spent at the team and developer level vs what was planned.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to keep up with all the tooling behind the different menus but the core features I use I can't live without.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a product team there is a constant flood of feature work, tech debt, bugs, refactoring work where it's hard to see in the trenches where the time goes Sprint to Sprint. With Juellyfish pulling in Github and JIRA metrics, it identifies where work enters the Sprint that should not have and where prod support tickets or poorly refined work needs an update in our process. Jellyfish dashboards are the core metrics for our team's Retro and Sprint Reviews.

Extremely Powerful Tool with Great Support
What do you like best about the product?
"Where are we spending our effort?" is an insidiously complex question to answer for most software development shops. Jellyfish transforms this tonnage into some initial setup and a reasonable monthly cost.
- Very Little Changes for your Teams: If your team is following some basic work structure and change management best practices, then you are already generating the signals Jellyfish needs to do what it does.
- Extremely Valuable Insights: Once the data is flowing, most of the metrics simply begin to spool out. It can take some time for these to be useful for trend analysis, but since the views it gives you are pretty hard to get any other way, there are often some immediately identifiable low-hanging fruit.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Even when you're following industry best practices, there are always going to be some nuances to how people work which can require several rounds of review to nail.
- The amount of data Jellyfish uses is massive, and so it can be difficult to validate that it's all being sent over and\or ingested correctly.
