"Sleuth for engineering metric"
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.

"Sleuth makes DORA metrics (and more!) easy"
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.

"DORA metrics at your hands"
What do you like best about Sleuth?

Setting it up is super easy and the automations add a lot of value that provide fast feedback to the dev teams when they are impacting their DORA metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sleuth?

The automation marketplace had a huge spike and then was abandoned. The MTTR and failure rate would be easier to measure if there was a better new relic integration in our case Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Creates visibility to teams about their performance metrics and helps to automate some routine"
What do you like best about Sleuth?

- Ability to see metrics like Frequency, Leadtime, Failture Rate and MTTR by teams and by projects

- Lead time breakdown helps to identify specific area where improvements are needed

- Automated reports to slack before daily highlights points to discuss (e.g. stale pull request)

- Goal setting helps teams to improve their processes (make PRs smaller, do PR review more often or split issues better)

- Overall configuration process is quite straight forward and simple

- Convenient roles and pricing models

- Automations Marketplace has a bunch of nice automations: validate PR title, commit message, commit size, etc. 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.

"Very useful as a consistent way to measure the DORA metrics"
What do you like best about Sleuth?

Sleuth is very easy to set up and to understand. The different views (project, team, or org level) allow to present the information in a way that can be understood by different stakeholders.

It's been very helpful for me in measuring the Dora Metrics and encouraging the teams to take all actions necessary to make the metrics better (which in turn leads to better performance).

Also the customer support has always been very quick and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sleuth?

Sleuth struggles a bit to measure some of the DORA metrics in a trunk based development setup and the fact that there's no automated way to import all repositories in gitlab sometimes makes it harder to ensure that all repositories are accounted for in the metrics.

"DORA Metrics on steroids"
What do you like best about Sleuth?

It's a great platform and the concepts and constructs just make sense. They are open to get down to the design level of your products so you can get the most out of the platform, which is splendid. Also, their support staff is very helpful and intimate — they usually reproduce it exactly the way YOU use it, which is phenomenal. The webhook approach is flexible for most users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sleuth?

It's a SaaS. Therefore, will not adapt well to restrictive environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sleuth"
What do you like best about Sleuth?

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.

"Sleuth is simple and effective"
What do you like best about Sleuth?

You can easily track the Dora metrics in your project. It is easy to implement thanks to good number of pre-made integration and custom webhooks. Our managers can easily read all the metrics thanks the simple but effective dashboard.

The customer support is great, they respond immediately and they are always helpful, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sleuth?

Nothing. The product is great. I can't say that there is something that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very insightful tool with impeccable customer service"
What do you like best about Sleuth?

I have found the tool extremely helpful in enabling our team to deploy faster and take more risks.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sleuth?

It's perhaps a bit on the pricy side and for companies with limited budget can be a hard sell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
