What engineering leaders tell us about Jellyfish

Consistent themes from teams evaluating engineering intelligence platforms.

They’re quite expensive, and they have a lot of features we didn’t need.”

Overbuilt and overpriced

Six-figure contracts and months-long implementations for capabilities many teams never use. You’re paying for boardroom features when you need engineering answers.

I’ve rolled my own — it requires so much time to constantly update and maintain.”

The alternative isn't better

Teams that can’t justify Jellyfish pricing often resort to DIY dashboards — trading dollars for engineering time that’s just as expensive.

We want metrics that lead to actions — right now, this is invisible to us.”

Dashboards without direction

Jellyfish surfaces data for executives. But engineering managers and team leads — the people who can actually fix problems — get left out of the loop.

We need to understand AI impact. We wanted this taken care of for us.”

AI is an afterthought

84% of developers now use AI tools. Proving ROI on that investment requires native AI impact measurement — not a feature bolted on after the fact.

Adoption across engineering has been poor.”

Leadership-only tool

When developers see analytics as surveillance, they disengage. Jellyfish serves the C-suite well but struggles to earn trust across the org.

Numbers are wonky.”

Data trust issues

Integrations break. Metrics require manual validation. When teams can’t trust the numbers, the platform becomes shelfware.

“Having intelligence our developers actually trust has changed our approach to productivity measurement. The insights are actionable because the team believes in the data.

“GitKraken Insights transformed how we understand engineering performance. We can see which AI tools improve delivery performance and which areas need attention. It pays for itself by helping us optimize development.
