"Seamless Setup and Insightful Dashboards"

4/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

I like Waydev for providing clear visibility into our engineering organization's performance. It helps us track development activities across repositories, monitor pull request merge time, and calculate team velocity effectively. The clear quantifiable DORA matrix numbers give us great insights to cut down hidden bottlenecks. The ease of integration is a huge win, and onboarding was smooth. Once everything is set up, we get a dashboard out of the box that provides a top view of project performance, plus the ability to create custom dashboards. The dashboard also eliminates the need for manual calculations and reporting, allowing us to make actionable decisions more quickly. Adding users from the dashboard was straightforward, and we were good to go without much delay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

At first AI summary took enormous time to load and didn't provide much information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re glad to hear that Waydev is helping you gain clear visibility into engineering performance, uncover bottlenecks through DORA metrics, and reduce manual reporting through out-of-the-box and custom dashboards. It’s great to know the onboarding and integrations felt smooth and delivered value quickly.

We also appreciate the feedback around the AI summary experience. Early on, performance and depth were not where we wanted them to be, and this is an area we’ve actively improved. Loading times and insight quality have been a strong focus for us, and we continue to iterate to make AI summaries faster, more actionable, and more context-aware.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback. It helps us keep pushing the product in the right direction.

"Excellent Engineering Insights and Support, Seamless Integration"

4/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

We've been using Waydev on regular basis for about two years, mainly for engineering analytics and performance insights. The platform provides excellent visibility into engineering operations — from DORA metrics to PR-related insights — giving a holistic understanding of team performance and development flow. The Waydev team is very supportive, responsive to feedback, and proactive in helping us get the most out of the product. Integration with our existing tools was smooth, and the overall setup process was straightforward. Overall, Waydev has been a valuable tool for driving data-informed conversations and improving visibility into our engineering processes. Recommended for teams looking to gain actionable insights into developer performance and workflow efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

One area that could use some improvement is the Developer Experience (DevEx) surveys — they still feel a bit raw and could benefit from more flexibility and depth. Also, the number of available metrics can feel overwhelming at first, though it becomes manageable once you focus on what really matters to your team.

I’d also love to see more flexible dashboards that allow combining tangible data with subjective insights (for example, using the SPACE framework). In case of many integration, contributors management may be a bit more time consuming than it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waydev solving and how is that benefiting you?

Waydev helps us turn engineering activity into clear, actionable insights. It bridges the gap between day-to-day development work and business visibility by tracking DORA metrics, PR activity, and team performance trends. This enables us to make data-driven decisions, identify bottlenecks early, and improve processes in systematic manner. It’s been especially valuable for fostering more objective, transparent discussions around productivity and team health. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keeping our Medical Software Development on Track"

5/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

In healthcare software, deadlines aren't just business goals, they're tied to regulations approvals. Waydev's weekly summaries have been a lifesaver for keeping tabs on progress without breathing down the dev team's necks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

I wish we could pull historical data from further back to compare older projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's a great tool for monitoring the development team's performance"

5/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

I found the setup process really simple. You have to connect to your git provider and Jira but it's really only a few clicks and the documentation provided was extremely clear. There are a lot of metrics you can track and you can create custom dashboards to organize them. The DORA metrics are also a great objective benchmark to compare against. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

I haven't found anything I dislike about it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waydev solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was hard to objectively determine how well the development teams, as well as individual members are performing. With Waydev we can decide on the metrics that are important for us and track team performance easily against those so we can spot immediately what needs improvement and how to approach it.

"Waydev helps collect and organize our data to provide insights on the team's work"

4/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

The automated emails that share the key information about the teams performance. It can be difficult to stay on top of all the metrics that matter to the team, but the emails remove that cognitive load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

Getting up-to-speed on how to best leverage waydev took more time than anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No brainer for large teams"

5/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

Waydev provides multiple data points that help technical and non technical managers better manager their engineering efforts and critical points. As a Eng manager and founder of over 15 years, I believe that data can compliment the natural skills of most Eng managers out there. Also, as a former competitor of Waydev, I can attest that this is currently the best solution out there for those looking for a solution in this space! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

Nothing so far though a public roadmap and more developer evangelism would be beneficial Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerup to our sprint retrospectives and my one on ones!"

4/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

Waydev has ceratinly been super helpful brining in more quantitative data to our sprint retrospectives, and my one on ones. It helps paint a better story of throughput and avoids "I'm feeling X", but rather "based on X metric...". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

I think a way to customized dashboards to be more specific on what you need but this is a tiny thing as the default one is fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Waydev helped us be a lot more efficient by providing insight into the software development process"

5/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

There are many things I like about the platform, but the one I like best must be that it truly improved the efficiency of my team. We didn’t exactly know where we could improve as a team, until we got Waydev. It gave us a lot of insight into what’s working well, and what’s not, so it gave us the power to perform better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

They did a great job, actually. Can't think of anything I don't like about the platform. If I have to nit pick I would love to learn how to make use of the charts within the app (some kind of learning center). But their awesome success team covered that pretty well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Waydev solving and how is that benefiting you?

We felt like we needed to have more insight into everything that’s going on in the software development process and see the areas we can improve. Waydev offered us full visibility and we knew exactly how to improve. For example, since we were able to measure it and zoom into it, our Cycle Time reduced considerably.
