Best Waydev Alternative - AnalyticsVerse

Why choose AnalyticsVerse?

Action-Driven Engineering Analytics Platform

Waydev is a good collection of metrics but misses a lot of context from your project management tools and doesn’t help you take action which is critical to continuous improvement and engineering excellence.

Developer Productivity using SPACE metrics

Productivity cannot be measured by metrics of one dimension only. And never by comparing developers. AnalyticsVerse enables the right way to look at developer productivity using the SPACE framework ideologies.

Pricing and Support

Waydev offers annual-only plans starting $449 per developer per year with limited repositories and limited features. AnalyticsVerse offers flexible monthly pricing starting at $14 with all features, unlimited repositories, and enterprise-grade support.

Trusted by 400+ high-performing engineering teams

1. Action-Driven Engineering Intelligence Platform

Metrics don’t improve by looking at them, they do by taking action to improve. AnalyticsVerse helps you actively drive improvements by going above visualizing metrics and taking action which is missing from Waydev.

Benchmarks

Waydev helps you with metric-level benchmarks across your team and industries like commit impact benchmarks. AnalyticsVerse takes a completely different approach and helps you look at process benchmarks like pull request response time, review workload distribution, and team tenure to help you identify areas of improvement and establish best engineering practices like peer code review, smaller pull requests, and many more which is not possible by looking at metric level benchmarks.

Know More 

Goals & Notifications

Goals cannot be only target values and dates for each metric. Goals should be set up to resolve identified in-efficiencies in your development process. AnalyticsVerse helps you with process-level recommendations and goals and also helps you set up actions (notifications) to help you reach the planned goal. Example: To reach a goal of sprint completion percent > 75%, a notification you can set is no more than 3 scope changes in a Sprint.

Know More 

Team Engagement

No true productivity gains are possible when the team is not on board. Waydev doesn’t help you educate and engage with your team like AnalyticsVerse does. We enable gamification using leaderboards, educating the team, and personally engaging with your team periodically to drive productivity gains.

Process recommendations

AnalyticsVerse analyzes your historical data and working patterns to identify and recommend areas for improvement, based on benchmarks of how high-performing teams manage their processes. This approach gives you a head start in pinpointing key focus areas for your team. Unlike Waydev, AnalyticsVerse provides actionable process recommendations to guide your improvements.

2. Developer Productivity - the Right Way

A table of all possible activity metrics is not developer productivity. AnalyticsVerse helps you look at developer productivity based on the SPACE framework ideologies, which helps you measure it the right way across multiple dimensions.

Communication & Collaboration Trends

Fundamentally, all outcomes stem from effective teamwork. If collaboration is lacking—such as in the proactive review of pull requests—it can impact overall productivity. We help you analyze how developers collaborate throughout the entire SDLC, enabling you to identify and address silos within your team, ultimately enhancing team productivity.

Development Flow

A crucial dimension of productivity is efficiency and how smoothly a task flows from start to end. AnalyticsVerse helps you capture your development efficiency and flow metrics by looking at WIP tickets, CLT (commit lead time), and looking at wasted and unplanned work to identify interruptions, making us the best alternative to Waydev.

Developers Health & Well-being

A satisfied and motivated team is a highly productive one. Waydev omits this aspect of productivity completely from their platform, whereas AnalyticsVerse enables you to look at developer satisfaction and well-being metrics to identify burnout indicators and take action to improve team health.

Developer 360° & Customization

AnalyticsVerse helps you look at all dimensions of productivity in a single snapshot in comparison with the team average, which helps you identify strengths and areas of improvement quickly. This is a much better way to look at developer productivity than comparing every metric with another developer. Additionally, you can customize the metrics you want to view across each SPACE dimension from a broad range of options SPACE dimension among a wide range of options.

Why our Customers Love us?

Awesome Platform!
Overall liked my experience with the product, got to try out all the features of the platform before deciding to buy it. Loved the UI and the simplicity with which we could set up AnalyticsVerse for our development teams.
Roshan Hadal | Sr. DOE MoEngage
Now Engineers work has a voice
AnalyticsVerse helped our engineering managers track where the engineering bandwidth was spent (like development, support, ad-hoc, and on-call) so that they could steer the conversation with the leadership more on how and where to control vs. what is happening. Engineers gained the confidence that their work has a voice that reaches all levels of the organization.

3. Limitations and Restrictions

Waydev has significant platform limitations and restrictions even in their $649 premium plan, which are not present in AnalyticsVerse making it a better choice.

JIRA Integration

JIRA data means more than just activity bubbles in the work log. AnalyticsVerse has the best and the deepest JIRA integration that understands your sprints, epics, estimation process, and workflows and helps you look at insights across your SDLC, making AnalyticsVerse a true engineering analytics platform and a much better alternative to Waydev which is primarily a Git analytics platform.

Know More 

Defining Value Streams

Waydev enables you to create a hierarchy of teams, but defining value streams for your services and products is completely missing from the platform. Our platform enables you to do both, create teams and define value streams, which helps you look at insights irrespective of the way your team works.

Enterprise / Self-hosted Integrations

AnalyticsVerse offers all integrations (including self-hosted / enterprise versions) irrespective of the plan you choose, which is offered only in the enterprise plan in Waydev.

Platform Navigability

Waydev has more metrics than AnalyticsVerse, but that doesn’t make it more useful. It's extremely difficult to understand which metrics are present in which reports and the metrics are grouped logically rather than by use cases.

Limit on repositories

Waydev limits you to 50/300 repositories based on your plan and offers more than that only in the enterprise plan. It’s not uncommon for teams of size 50-60 to have more than 300 repositories, and this becomes a huge hurdle for your teams.

4. Missing Dimensions of Metrics

Waydev misses a lot of dimensions to productivity indicators which AnalyticsVerse helps in capturing and driving improvement for your teams.

Sprint Summary Reports

Sprint reports in Waydev are only a list of all tickets in progress and completed. AnalyticsVerse summary reports enable you to look at sprint performance indicators like planning accuracy, effort investment, trends across sprints, tasks with the highest efforts, and code percent deployed to help you identify true bottlenecks.

Epic / Initiatives Progress

You can visualize the progress and velocity of your epics week-over-week, and understand what percent of effort your team has spent in each of them. Dimensions that require a deeper understanding of your JIRA workflows are missing from Waydev making AnalyticsVerse a better alternative.

Rework

While Waydev measures rework by tracking code changes within a period, AnalyticsVerse goes further by also identifying rework through pull request corrections—when developers make changes based on code review feedback—and reopened tickets. This comprehensive approach allows you to capture rework more accurately.

Process metrics

Linking commits to tickets, keeping fewer WIP tickets, smaller pull requests, and encouraging peer code review are some processes that AnalyticsVerse helps you measure and establish which is missing in Waydev.

5. Pricing

Waydev offers annual-only pro and premium plans which are priced at $449 and $649 per dev per year, which is almost 3x expensive than AnalyticsVerse pro plans which starts at $14 per dev per month.
