Great experience!

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So far having a great experience with Hatica. I really like the DORA metrics and the maker time dashboard which are useful to measure my team’s meeting load and also identify whether they have enough time to concentrate on serious projects.

Pros

  • Great dashboards for engg metrics
  • Very helpful to maintain work load and to give attention to important tasks

Cons

  • No support to customise dashboards.
  • Lots of metrics so need some time to learn

Likelihood to Recommend

Has been amazing to schedule my day depending on what deadline or important tasks I have, can use the maker time dashboard to see where I have spent more time - meetings or tasks, etc. Also great to see the activity log with work status

In line with the SPACE framework

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I really believe in the comprehensive engineering management approach of the SPACE framework. I couldn’t find a tool that put the framework into practice, especially combining developers’ digital well-being and experience and productivity metrics. But I discovered Hatica and after using the platform and speaking with the founders about their approach to dev management, I am convinced that Hatica is the best tool to manage engineering productivity.

Pros

  • Helps engineering team productivity
  • better management of developer happiness and work life balance

Cons

  • There are so many metrics that you’re able to measure - it can get overwhelming at first
  • We had a walkthrough session with the founder that helped us approach the platform with more confidence so maybe they can include help documents for first-time users

Likelihood to Recommend

Engineering team management can be done better if we use metrics and the SPACE metrics are the best in that aspect. This product follows that research to deliver great analytics for team management. We also really like that the support is very hands-on, integration happened without any glitches and works well with our stack

More confident about delivery timeline

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I think the best outcome from using Hatica has been better visibility into what’s actually happening in my team. I'm feeling a lot more confident about meeting release deadlines because I'm able to understand our metrics better and also the activity log helps to identify team’s work patterns which I can use to optimize delivery speed.

Pros

  • Great visibility
  • Fewer risks, so better schedule management
  • Historical data is present so we're able to see how we're progressing

Cons

  • Cannot view work snapshots at 2-week sprint level
  • Still waiting for test coverage metrics to be released as promised

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for engg teams to get visibility and keep up to date about team's activities

Helps us take proactive action and deliver results on schedule

Rating: 10 out of 10

The reports feature makes our team management more proactive. We are able to identify and deal with issues as they occur rather than solve problems after they occur, and this has helped our team to deliver results without delays.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Insights and reports delivered to an email
  • Good insights

Cons

  • The platform is still new, so there are some potential avenues for improvement which I believe they’re working on. I’m excited about the new features that are in the pipeline.

Maker time dashboard!

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My aim was to increase the availability of deep work & focus time for my team and reduce the tendency to stay “available” at all times. With Hatica’s maker time metric, I was able to measure our baseline deep work time, optimize our meetings and improve the availability of focus time.

Pros

  • Metrics for focus time
  • Team productivity

Cons

  • The web app does not work well on mobile

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for engineering teams to optimize the availability of focus time that can lead to increased team productivity and outcomes
