Waydev is enterprise level quality software

PROS

Clean UX helps me understand the work of my engineers (and my own). It's easy to get the big picture but also you can go in detail.

CONS

The UI could use a little polishing, but nothing major.

Reason for choosing Waydev

More value for the money.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for the review!

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

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reason for choosing Waydev

Combination of price and feature set. Waydev seemed to have the right set of features at the right price.

Reasons for switching to Waydev

Gitprime was too expensive, they were somewhat flexible with pricing for our small team, but as soon as Pluralsight bought them, they became totally inflexible.

Vendor Response

Hi Deryk, Thank you very much for this review. We're really happy that you consider Waydev a better tool than our competitors.

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

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reason for choosing Waydev

Pricing. GitPrime is way too expensive for what it provides. WayDev in that sense is better priced.

Vendor Response

Hi Zuber, Thank you very much for this review, we're working now to add more screens that will help even better to under the output of your team. Thanks, Alex Circei

Great tool for engineering managers. Very comprehensive analytics!

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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

Reason for choosing Waydev

Most integrations, comprehensive, great customer support, and constant new updates and features added.

Thank you so much!

Excellent product

We save each month a lot of money, we understand better what out development team is doing and we generate a lot of interesting reports so we could improve our team and also give them bonuses.

PROS

They had an incredible support team but what I like the most about Waydev is that we save a lot of money every month

CONS

It was very hard to find these type of tools. All the other companies that we use before, they have big brands but not a good product. What I personally like least about Waydev is that they don't promote themselves so we must search a lot for this tool....

Reason for choosing Waydev

Because we test the product and we compare the prices, the way it works and....we just did it. And we are happy, that's why we are losing time writing a complete review

Reasons for switching to Waydev

Because we test Waydev and Gitprime become useless

Thank you very much!
