"Finally a Clear ROI Layer for AI in Engineering"

5/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

What stands out is how Waydev connects AI adoption to real business outcomes, not just activity metrics. We can see which developers and teams are actively using AI tools, but more importantly, how that translates into faster delivery, shorter review cycles, and higher throughput. The dashboards are clear and leadership-friendly, which makes it easy to communicate progress and ROI without digging through raw data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

Some of the AI-related insights could benefit from more customization, especially when trying to tailor views for different stakeholders like engineering managers vs. executives. It’s powerful, but sometimes you want more flexibility out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before Waydev, AI adoption was mostly anecdotal. Some teams claimed big gains, others were skeptical, and we had no consistent way to measure impact. Now we have a unified view across the organization. We can track adoption trends, correlate them with performance improvements, and make informed decisions about where to invest more in AI tooling or training. It has helped us align engineering and leadership around a common, data-backed narrative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Optimizes Team Performance with Ease"

4/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

I use Waydev to track team performance, track the delivery, and understand bottlenecks in the development process. I appreciate the transparency it brings, allowing everyone to see how they perform compared to the rest of the team while providing managers with a high-level overview of the team's performance. I really like the contributor insights feature, as it brings a lot to 1-1 discussions and helps individuals set goals to improve their performance. Additionally, I find the breakdown of the development cycle insightful, showing where the team spends most of their time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

I think custom reports could be more flexible, and it would be nice to have the feature to compare teams with the average of the rest of the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It's great to hear that Waydev is helping bring transparency to your team's delivery process and supporting more meaningful 1:1 conversations through contributor insights.

Your note about custom reports and comparing teams to company-wide benchmarks is very valuable. Improving flexibility in reporting and giving leaders better context across teams is something we're actively exploring as we continue evolving the platform.

"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.

Response from Alex Circei of Waydev

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.

"The only tool we found that makes sense of AI in engineering"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Waydev?

The AI visibility layer. Being able to see adoption, usage patterns, and correlate that with outcomes is incredibly powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Waydev?

Some of the AI-related features are evolving, but the direction is very strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alex Circei of Waydev

edit

Thank you, Anelya, really appreciate the thoughtful review.

The point you highlighted around the AI visibility layer is exactly the problem we set out to solve. Adoption alone does not matter if it is not tied to outcomes, and we are seeing more teams shift their focus from “who is using AI” to “what impact is AI actually driving.”

On your feedback regarding evolving AI features, you are absolutely right, and this is an area we are actively investing in. Over the past months we have shipped several updates, including deeper AI adoption metrics, improved correlation between AI usage and delivery outcomes, and more advanced insights into how teams are leveraging agents across the SDLC. We are also expanding our DX and feedback layer to give more context behind the numbers.

If you are open to it, I would love to walk you through what is coming next. A big part of our roadmap is making AI impact not just visible, but predictable and actionable.

Thanks again for the trust and for being part of this journey with us.

"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.
