Plandek Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate the transparency and visibility that Plandek provides. The comprehensive sprint breakdowns make it straightforward to track progress and gain a clear understanding of the team's performance. I find myself using it multiple times each week to get a view on how the sprint is progressing or the progress on large projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were an easier way to customise dashboards or have key trends highlighted automatically. The data is very comprehensive, but at times I find myself searching through it to identify what’s most important for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides deep visibility into the entire software delivery lifecycle, making it easier to track progress and spot bottlenecks early.

The customizable dashboards allow teams to focus on the KPIs that matter most, from lead time to deployment frequency.

Its integration with tools like Jira, GitHub, and Azure DevOps makes reporting seamless and automated.

Encourages data-driven decision making by aligning engineering metrics with business outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup and initial configuration can feel overwhelming due to the wide range of metrics available.

Some dashboards require fine-tuning before they deliver truly actionable insights.

The user interface, while functional, could be more intuitive for new users.

Steeper learning curve compared to simpler reporting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features are solid. It’s easy to navigate, and setting things up is straightforward — you don’t get lost in the process. Clean, simple, and it gets the job done. I also tried their customer support once — it was responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe just the default landing page after login — it brings me to the Workspaces view, which can get overwhelming when there’s a long list of teams. The way it’s grouped by Business Line, Product, and Team could be cleaner. I often have to scroll or scan left to right just to find a team, even though there’s a Search field. Maybe the UI could use a bit of a refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plandek lets us track a number of key delivery and engineering metrics through an easy to use interface.

We frequently look at sprint predictability metrics (every sprint) to help our product teams understand velocity and identify areas for improvement.

Implementing new dashboards and metrics is straight forward and integrating with the Deployment API has also been good with the excellent help from customer support.

We get regular help and insights from a dedicated customer experience manager who is fantastically knowledgeable about the product and about our processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the colours used in the metric displays clash, making it difficult to tell which data point we are looking at. But this is a minor inconvenience that Plandek support can and do correct when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1 - Very easy to integrate with Jira and Github - setup was smoother than expected.

2 - The dashboards are genuinely insightful.

3 - I really liked the team-level visibility - helped us spot bottlenecks in our PR cycle that we weren't seeing earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1 - Some dashboards load a bit slowly while tracking many repos at once.

2 - Would love more flexibility in customizing visual themes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plandek provides great metrics around our Agile sprint delivery system in Azure Devops. The integration between the two systems is flawless so far and provides a great backdrop, turning raw DevOps data into meaningful stats, helping us improve predictability and qulaity across the team.

Mostly positive overall but personally I do not like the look and feel of the pull requests chart. A bit messy and not clear to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gathering all the metrics in one place. Customizable filters. Easily compare productivity metrics inside team (different platforms) and versus other teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are only for admins, which makes sense sometimes but not all the time - as filters -. A bit difficult to setup for large organisations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plandek's metrics help me understand the actual speed and predictability of our development teams. I can see sprint predictability, which is crucial for managing stakeholder expectations and making more accurate forecasts for our roadmap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably it was a bit hard for me in the first place to understand the tool in details. But after the training session, I'm all good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Plandek to view my team's velocity and the breakdown of when stories come into a sprint and when items are completed. Shows a good breakdown of stories in the sprint at the start vs stories brought into the sprint part way through.

Use it a couple of times a week around sprint planning and look back at it during retro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Plandek with Azure DepOps but we use test plans extensively. These test plans show up in the number of tickets in the sprint and are created during sprints. This causes the views by 'Tickets' to be unusable (we are only able to use the views by Story Points).

The metrics of elapsed time include non-working days (weekends) which skews the results a bit. Metrics can be artificially massaged by not setting stories to in progress until a Monday which isn't great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plandek provides a valuable centralized view of various development metrics, which can be very helpful for understanding team performance and project progress. I particularly appreciate its ability to pull data from multiple sources, offering a more holistic perspective than looking at individual tools in isolation. The dashboards are generally intuitive, allowing for quick visualization of key trends. This consolidated data makes it easier to identify areas for improvement in the development workflow and supports more informed discussions about efficiency and delivery. It's a solid platform for getting a clearer picture of your engineering efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Plandek offers good capabilities, there's always room for refinement. One area that could be improved is the initial setup and configuration, which can sometimes feel a bit complex, especially when integrating with diverse existing toolsets. More detailed, in-platform guidance or interactive tutorials for specific integrations might streamline this process. Additionally, while the dashboards are good, some of the customization options for very niche reporting needs could be expanded to offer even greater flexibility without requiring deep dives into documentation. Finally, like any powerful analytics tool, getting the most out of it truly depends on the quality and consistency of the input data, which isn't a Plandek-specific issue but something users should be mindful of.
