Waydev

Good tool to understand your team dynamics

Aspetti positivi:

Waydev has proved to be a very useful tool for me to understand how my team is performing. I use it as part of the feedback on 1-1 meetings, and it helps me to provide feedback valuable to developers and ask questions about certain trends shown on their code. It's really easy to use and I practically don't need to do anything to use it.

Aspetti negativi:

It's a little bit expensive, and I am sticking to the free version because it adds enough value for what I am using it

We switched from Pluralsight Flow (GitPrime) and so far really love it

Commenti: It's easy to use, provides helpful insights on how to support developers. Their support is VERY fast, which I love - ask a question and one of the founders is there to help. They have a robust feature set - probably too much for what we need, but good that we can grow into it.

Aspetti positivi:

It has pretty much all the features we used at Gitprime, plus a few more that are even better. Gitprime was just too expensive for us, and we didn't see any evolution in the features. Waydev has a better dashboard and it has a great timecard view where you can see commit timing for each contributor. Comparing both, their impact calculation seems quite similar. Gitprime was also getting slow and harder to use. The only issue I had was onboarding, getting my organization repo to setup, but I used a different option with the help of their support and it's fine now.

Aspetti negativi:

They just added the review feature, so that solves the one problem I had. They don't seem to have a Jira Integration, but honestly we left Jira for ClickUp have love it! So again, not an issue for us.

Helps track developer productivity, but needs some time to adapt with the process

Commenti: Waydev was a way to showcase the productivity of our developers to senior management. This was a way to check if the team is getting more productive. If not, identify the root cause of the problem and address it. At times when we do see the scores dropping, there have been some legitimate reasons for the same. Some times however, issues in the development process have been identified which the teams need to resolve. Overall, it does give is an insight, but more time is needed to make it a core part of the process.

Aspetti positivi:

The interface is simple and clean. The tool gives a good representation of the productivity of the developers, and a high level view of the work being done.

Aspetti negativi:

It has been hard to utilize the metrics provided by WayDev in a meaningful way. Even though we have been using it for more than 6 months, we haven't been able to make use of it to understand the productivity and effectiveness of the developers. Further, it needs some more high level reporting. For example, a chart that shows the impact scores by month. We can figure it out, but have to circle through multiple months. At times, we had issues with commits not reflecting which the support team help address.

Great tool for engineering managers. Very comprehensive analytics!

Commenti: A platform that helped me and my company fully understand what’s happening inside our software development processes. It’s an amazing investment for anyone who wants a clear view of what the teams are doing and spot any bottlenecks.

Aspetti positivi:

We can zoom into teams’ progress, see what’s happening inside sprints, and how the code review process is going - all in one platform. Also, the customer support is excellent, always answering in a matter of minutes if we have any sort of question.

Aspetti negativi:

I couldn't find any can other than it's expensive for small teams.

With Waydev you can see a lot !!!

Aspetti positivi:

- Easy integration with all the tools that we use - No additional learning or overhead added to engineering team - Very good information and insights about individual contributors and teams - It allows you to identify rockstars, top performers and to improve the development lifecycle

Aspetti negativi:

- We didnt have any downsides or negative aspects in out experience
