It does that by offering all three key components of a highly successful Engineering metrics program: Metrics, Reviews, and Automations. Metrics that Sleuth delivers include quantitative ones such as DORA metrics, as well as qualitative ones such as DevEx score that fit frameworks like SPACE. Reviews are Sleuth's secret sauce for turning metric insights into real outcomes and ultimately business value. Examples of Reviews include: monthly State of Engineering check-ins, resource allocation planning, operations reviews, sprint reviews, and more. Sleuth provides pre-built, auto-populated, and AI-powered templates and a code review-like collaboration workflow to make such Reviews painless and productive. Automations allows you to improve both developer productivity and developer experience simultaneously, while also ensuring the data gathered for Metrics is clean and accurate.

JN Joshua N. Sr. Director of Engineering Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/27/2025 "Sleuth for engineering metric" 5/5 What do you like best about Sleuth? Sleuth helped Jackpocket measure the changes the changes we wanted to make when we realized we needed to get faster and safer releasing code. In the early stages of our devops journey we had a lot of ideas on how to move to faster releases and smaller batch size but it was measuring that really made the difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sleuth? I don't think there are any downsides of using DORA metrics. The biggest issue I had was making sure the source of incidents was accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sleuth solving and how is that benefiting you? Sleuth gave me a snapshot of the health of all my teams. DORA metrics are a much clearer representation of team productivity and health than something like story points and sprint reports Each sprint the teams can look at the metrics and take action on what went wrong or continue to make the process better.

Staff Software Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/21/2022 "Sleuth makes DORA metrics (and more!) easy" 5/5 What do you like best about Sleuth? If you've read Accelerate, you know the importance of DORA metrics. Sleuth makes tracking these metrics easy. Sleuth has integrations available for all the tools we use, so we never have to think about tracking. We just follow our normal devops workflow and check the dashboard to see how we're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sleuth? Sleuth is a very specialized tool, designed mainly for tracking DORA metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sleuth solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Sleuth to give us a reality check on how our migration into a devops workflow is going. It allows us to easily see our DORA metrics and make changes where necessary. In addition, we use the integrations in Sleuth to guard releases. We can release to a pre-production environment and have Sleuth halt promotion to prod if there are any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sleuth? - Bitbucket support is not so advanced as for GitHub - Sometimes navigation between teams and projects is a bit annoying Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sleuth solving and how is that benefiting you? Our dev cycle was quite long and we were looking for a tool which helps us to identify the reasons behind that. After we adopted Sleuth in our development teams we identified several reasons: - big portion if pull requests had gigantic or huge size - review lag was several days - review time was big as well Based on this information we set goals in Sleuth, configured several automations and reminders and after a few months teams had next results: - number of gigantic PRs reduced by 40%, for small and medium increase by 170% - review time and review lag were reduced by 30-35% - deployment frequency was increase by 150% We also noticed overall improvement of quality of the code and pull requests in general. Activity in PR reviews increased as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerSource: Organic GX Guilherme X.

Sleuth does DORA better than any platform I have seen. There are other platforms with broader functionality, but Sleuth keeps their focus narrow and excels there. Once up and running, the platform is really straight-forward to extract isights from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sleuth? For companies not making use of the "easier" dev tools and patterns, onboarding could probably be made a bit faster with a library of common implementation approaches. Obviously there are things like code snippets to emit the right kind of events, but I mean more in terms of showing a range of common development and deployment patterns to shortcut teams toward understanding how to adapt to their own workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sleuth solving and how is that benefiting you? Sleuth is our best source of velocity data. It tells us how teams are performing, and how that performance moves over time as we introduce tooling, process, or organisational changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
