Port Reviews & Product Details

The UI and 'out of the box' nature of the product is great, compared to setting up something like Backstage you can get up and running with useful actions/catalogs in very little time.

The UI itself is very polished and regularly updated, the functions are very intuitive and do not require extensive explanation when rolling out across the organisation to potentially less-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's tempting to use Port as a 'hammer' to solve every problem, but we've found it's not always well suited to more complex use-cases where it needs to reflect 'state' of systems or operations.

Some integrations with cloud platforms like Azure can be lacking in some areas, so cataloging things like infrastructure may require a lot of development but then again the fact that some resources 'just work' is a huge bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity and easy to plug new integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably not that complete in-app help menus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customization of blueprint is the best thing in port. It is super simple to create the right data model for my organization. There are multiple out of the box integrations that we are using. The scorecards is an amazing feature that really helped us to move the needle on organizational standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are things that can be improved in Port, nothing that is "dislike". Pagination is something that can be improved to make it perform better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workflow Automation – Helps streamline processes and reduce manual work. Scalability – Works well with adapting to business growth. Performance – Stable and responsive, with minimal downtime. Integration - supports various integrations + possibility to use not existing via webhooks, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User Interface – Easy to navigate but sometimes I am confused where I can find our self services. Learning curve - During initial phase harder to get concept and learn terms with their usage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the flexibility to define our own data models and mappings. This really makes the possibilities with Port endless and has allowed us to build some pretty helpful dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some inconsistencies in the implementation of some features. For instance, a self-service action on an entity will pass the entity's title by default whereas an automation will pass the entity's identifier. This isn't outlined in any documentation and we had to figure it out during implementation. We've found a few instances of this where the documentation does not outline the limitations and we need to ask Port employees for clarification on how something is supposed to work.

The UI looks great, the search/filter is very quick, easy to find the information I need. The ability to easily create custom dashboards was neat. Although using JQ had some learning curve, I liked the help I received from the customer success team. The API documentation was great, the swagger was also very helpful to try endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a bit of time to understand and set the entity blueprints right, I felt like the customer success team had a "You can do it, but we are here for help" approach, and maybe more of a "Let us know how your org works and here is a suggestion for a relation mapping that might work for you well, wdyt?" approach would get us onboard quicker :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using blueprints to model everything so it's simpler for us to understand how is everything connected. The action are clearly something that the competition does not have well implemented. Using JQ almost everywhere gives us a powerful tool to modify the fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The blueprint query API is hard to use and not flexible enough. The lack of documentation for Ocean integration with AWS, it took me a lot of time to create the field and mapping, it would be nice to have the blueprint JSON and mapping YAML just to copy and paste.

Port has been helpful in giving us a catalogue for our cloud resources, we're working through the integrations to go from our code source, cloud resources, CI/CD pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the documentation could be improved overall. The documentation for building new templates/blueprints/mappings, improved examples, potentially leverage genAI for code generation on the mappings and the JQ involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the ability to integrate all sorts of information and aggregate them to show developers a central view of their services status and related information. ocean framework which allows you to build your own data exporter easily. self-service actions that can be used to trigger many automations and it's easy to manage its inputs and permission restriction.

incomplete documentation. many features are not well documented, or lack of examples. the syntax explanation for some yaml files like data mapping selector for github integration would be helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Port enables organizations to create a very flexible data model that represents their SDLC and organization, while also the ability to import and map data to that structure very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Port offers little opinion or direction as an Internal Developer Portal, in guiding organizations with best practices (rather it makes it easy if you have your own opinions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
