Insightful Team Stats with Scope for UI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I use DX for tracking my team's statistics, mostly productivity. I appreciate having reliable numbers and graphs that I can efficiently share over Slack. The team's stats board is great because it puts a lot of information in one place, giving me a clear picture. I also find the feature that allows me to comment on results or on topics identified as pain points very useful, as it facilitates starting discussions in the thread itself. Additionally, it helps me understand the productivity of team members and identify support trends and ongoing issues. Setting up DX for my personal account was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't find it very intuitive to reach sections. Now of course I've learned, but at the beginning I was having trouble reaching the pages and dashboards that I needed, and had to rely on saved links.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use DX for tracking team statistics and productivity, sharing reliable numbers through Slack. It helps understand team productivity and support trends, and features a stats board and comment function for addressing issues and starting discussions.

Insightful Metrics, But Needs Improved Management Views
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the different types of metrics that DX offers, as they provide great insights into my team's performance. The automated nature of data availability is also a standout feature, making it really convenient to access necessary information quickly. I find the industry benchmarks and comparison data with other teams in my organization extremely helpful. This functionality allows me to understand if my team is lagging or leading, and it helps me identify areas for rewarding or improving performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to add management layers is currently not possible. If I have two teams, I'm forced to choose a team and unable to get a combined view of everyone across both teams, while retaining the ability to breakout by those individual teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use DX to gain insights into team performance, providing visibility into scope, velocity, and impact. It benchmarks against other teams and industry standards, helping me identify areas to improve or reward. The automated data availability is extremely helpful.
Comprehensive Metrics with Some Usability Challenges
What do you like best about the product?
I find the regular snapshot feature very helpful in identifying issues around processes or ways of working that might not otherwise surface. The engineering metrics are great for seeing how teams are generally performing and spotting anything that might be slowing them down. I really like the comprehensive metrics provided by DX. Although I could potentially gather these myself with some digging, it's reassuring to know that the calculations have been rigorously done. The true Throughput metric, in particular, is very useful for quantifying the complexity of work delivered by the teams, as opposed to just plain velocity. Additionally, I really like that we can use AI to prompt, even though there were some challenges in getting the right queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found the Data Studio a little hard to use without first being shown. If it was more intuitive I would likely use it more. I really like that we can prompt through AI, but I had some trouble getting the right queries from the prompts. It could just be that the data I was requesting wasn't available though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DX helps identify process issues through regular surveys and improves performance tracking with engineering metrics. The True Throughput metric is particularly beneficial in quantifying work complexity over just velocity.
Comprehensive Surveys with Peer Benchmarks That Drive Clear Improvement Actions
What do you like best about the product?
The survey’s comprehensive and objective framing helps us identify the areas that need attention. The platform’s peer-comparison offering also helps us understand where we stand and where to invest further. The specificity around Front End/ Back End / Platform/ Data Layers helps us get closer to improvement actions
What do you dislike about the product?
While most aspects of Developer Productivity are covered, aspects around Dev Operations and Tech Operations (post production) can be improved. Any engineer still has to spend decent time in operational aspects beyond being Goalie/on-call, the productivity improvements intelligence for these are areas to be improved on DX
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem/ Gap identification is the biggest area on where the DX helps, the best part being unification of survey and system data for a complete view of developer productivity. The qualitative inputs help in getting to nuances that are not captured in the objective numbers
Streamlined Feedback with Robust Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I find DX to be a valuable tool for supporting day-to-day operational activities by providing a structured and efficient mechanism for collecting feedback, insights, and operational inputs across teams. I like how the platform simplifies survey creation and distribution while giving timely visibility into responses and trends. One of DX's key strengths is its ease of use and accessibility, which encourages broader participation and helps us gather actionable information quickly. The ability to centralize operational feedback has improved transparency, alignment, and responsiveness across stakeholders. I appreciate how DX helps streamline communication loops and reduce manual efforts associated with traditional feedback collection methods. Its reporting and tracking capabilities support leadership visibility and follow-through on identified actions. I also find the integration with my internal system quite robust. The enhanced analytics are great for transforming survey feedback into actionable insights, enabling faster identification of operational challenges, trends, and improvement opportunities, supporting more data-driven decision-making and better prioritization. DX provides an intuitive and efficient way to collect operational feedback with strong visibility into responses and trends, which supports faster decision-making and continuous improvement. The initial setup wasn't hard, and the provided examples were helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the analytics can be made more better by adding a rich interface, some graphs perhaps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use DX to support day-to-day operations, streamline communication, and reduce manual feedback collection efforts. It centralizes operational feedback, improving transparency and responsiveness. Enhanced analytics transform feedback into actionable insights, boosting decision-making and leadership visibility.
Great for Quarterly Tracking, but Needs More Relevant Questions and Better Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Running this survey on a recurring basis, with a measurement every three months, really helps track evolution and improvement over time. Comparing results against other teams in the organization, or even against the industry, also helps identify and better understand the areas where we can improve.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some questions don’t apply to our team, and that creates friction when we have to complete them. Also, the reporting tool has a lot of room for improvement. I’d really appreciate an integration with a retrospective tool and with Jira tickets, so that when we identify action items, we can track them more easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly it helps to identify problems on the developers experience, being standarize it covers a lot of areas and help us focus on the weakest ones. It gathers a lot of information than then we need to analyze and process to improve
Out of the Box Software Development Measurements
What do you like best about the product?
I like how DX provides built-in comparisons, measuring against industry standards or our own past reporting periods. It aggregates data across multiple tools, which means I don't have to implement something in-house to derive insights from disparate systems. DX already shows the core metrics for software development, which are the specific metrics I'm looking for. It also has integrations with our GitHub, JIRA, and more, which is great. Plus, I use it in Slack to send AI-generated summaries on progress from my teams. As an individual user, I found the initial setup to be easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not always intuitive if you want to drill down into a specific report, or be able to compare individual cohorts to each other if those aren't already defined in DX. It's frustrating when I feel too locked into their predefined filters and reports without the flexibility to drill in a different way I want. Sometimes filter facets are only single select when I'd like to select multiple of that same facet type.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use DX to identify improvement areas and track progress in development teams. It aggregates insights from tools like GitHub, Jira, and provides built-in comparisons which prevents the need for in-house solutions.
Invaluable for Team Performance Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I find the quarterly snapshots in DX incredibly useful because they expose issues with our process and provide the tools to determine if the changes we make based on those issues are actually making a difference. This feature allows us to break down answers by team, monitor stats like PR Cycle Time and AI usage, and find out what parts of our process are working well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The list of reports can be a little overwhelming, making it hard to know what I should be paying attention to. Also the time in hours can be confusing to know if it's working hours vs clock hours, and how they calculate business hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use DX to monitor team performance and track process effectiveness, exposing areas for improvement. It provides insights on PR Cycle Time and AI usage to determine if we're on the right track.
Data-Driven Clarity for Team Management
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the clarity DX gives me. With a small team, it's easy to assume things are on track, but DX backs that up with data, which is great. The dashboard offers a quick snapshot of the team's progress, and I can see if we're on track or slipping without going through complex tools. It saves me time and makes my check-ins more productive. Specifically, the cycle time and throughput metrics are helpful for understanding our delivery speed, and the PR and code review analytics are really useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think some of the metrics and visualizations can be more compact, and there could be AI powered insights or summaries which could save me even more time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use DX to track team progress and monitor delivery speed. It provides visibility without micromanaging, helps spot bottlenecks, and backs insights with data for productive check-ins.
