Jellyfish helps leaders measure and manage engineering performance.
Network Perspective measures what shapes delivery—and makes clear what to fix and how to fix it.
Jellyfish brings together data from across your engineering stack to track productivity, delivery, and business impact. That’s useful.
But engineering leaders don’t just need workflow visibility. They need to spot what slows work down—and fix it.
Network Perspective adds collaboration data and deep work insights—showing:
Spot what slows delivery. Fix it.
Why this matters: When AI makes coding faster, delivery often slows down.
Jellyfish gives you visibility and alignment. Network Perspective gives you leverage.
Jellyfish is strong for teams that want to:
If your goal is better visibility, alignment, and engineering management, Jellyfish is a strong option.
Jellyfish provides strong visibility into engineering performance, resource allocation, and delivery—and teams value that.
Helps us track key metrics like cycle time, throughput, and sprint velocity in one place
Clear visibility into engineering performance and progress
Teams appreciate how Jellyfish brings together data from tools like Jira and GitHub, helping leaders make more data-driven decisions about delivery and investment.
At the same time, users highlight a few recurring challenges:
The toolset is complex… it can be daunting to figure out how to use it effectively
Interpreting some of the more advanced metrics still requires manual context-setting
Jellyfish gives leaders strong visibility into engineering performance and business alignment. But interpreting the data—and translating it into simple, team-level actions—often requires additional effort.
Network Perspective is built for teams that need to:
Network Perspective helps teams move beyond visibility and improve how work actually happens.
The application presents information on less obvious aspects of team activity and collaboration between teams.
Teams don’t just get dashboards. They start changing how they work.
People start to become intentional about changing aspects of their working environment… and then they start to act.
That is also why customers describe Network Perspective as:
Much more actionable than other products we considered
Jellyfish shows how engineering performs. Network Perspective shows what slows it down—and how to fix it.
Jellyfish measures engineering performance. Network Perspective helps you fix what shapes it.
Remove friction. Protect focus. Measure flow.
Most tools show outputs. Network Perspective connects the system behind them.
From dashboards → to continuous thinking and decision-making
Operate and improve your system across:
From feedback → to root causes → to action
Jellyfish shows how engineering performs and aligns with the business. Network Perspective makes it clear what breaks delivery—and what to fix.
Where time and attention are lost.
This is the biggest gap.
Deep work and collaboration are core drivers of developer productivity.
How deep work and collaboration drive developer productivity (DevEx)
Deep work, collaboration patterns, and overload directly impact delivery performance.
Workload and burnout in tech: how overload impacts engineering performance
Jellyfish shows how work is distributed. Network Perspective shows how work actually happens across people and time.
From delivery metrics → to system-level improvement
Jellyfish tracks delivery performance and business impact. Network Perspective explains why it slows down—and how to fix it.
AI-first teams generate more signals and complexity (AI coding shift: why engineering leaders must manage comprehension debt), run faster feedback loops, and rely on LLMs to support decisions.
That changes what engineering systems need to support.
Jellyfish integrates data from engineering tools (such as Git, Jira, and CI/CD systems) to analyze team activity, delivery, and resource allocation.
Network Perspective is designed differently. It works on team-level visibility, with hashed identities and no personal tracking built into the product model. The system is measured—not the individual.
This changes how teams use the data. When people feel comfortable with it, it sparks curiosity instead of defensiveness. It creates alignment and open discussion—and leads to action.
It supports a true team contract: problems are shared, improvements are collective, and accountability stays at the system level.
Trust drives adoption. Adoption drives action. Action drives improvement.
Jellyfish measures engineering performance. Network Perspective helps you fix what shapes it.

What is a Jellyfish alternative?
A Jellyfish alternative is a platform that helps engineering teams improve delivery performance and productivity, often by going beyond reporting and business alignment to analyze what actually shapes how work happens across teams, time, and collaboration.
How is Network Perspective different from Jellyfish?
Jellyfish focuses on measuring engineering performance and aligning it with business goals.
Network Perspective focuses on what shapes that performance—friction, focus, and collaboration—and makes it clear what to fix and how to fix it.
What does Jellyfish do well?
Jellyfish is strong for:
How does Network Perspective approach DevEx surveys differently?
Network Perspective separates surveys into two layers:
This helps teams move from tracking sentiment to identifying root causes and taking action.
What does Network Perspective add beyond Jellyfish?
Network Perspective adds visibility into:
It connects these signals with developer experience and delivery metrics to explain why work slows down and what to fix.
How does Network Perspective measure focus and deep work?
Network Perspective uses collaboration data (such as calendars and communication patterns) to measure:
This helps teams protect focus and improve how time is used.
How does Network Perspective analyze collaboration?
Network Perspective maps collaboration as a network across teams, showing:
This reveals how work actually flows across the organization—not just within code workflows.
Does Jellyfish use user-level data?
Jellyfish integrates data from engineering tools (such as Git, Jira, and CI/CD systems), which typically includes user-level activity. This data is aggregated into dashboards and reports for analysis.
How does Network Perspective handle privacy differently?
Network Perspective is designed with privacy by default:
This makes teams more comfortable with the data, which increases adoption and leads to more open discussion and action.
Can Network Perspective replace Jellyfish?
Network Perspective can replace or complement Jellyfish, depending on your needs.
Some organizations use Jellyfish for business alignment and reporting, and Network Perspective for system-level analysis and improvement across collaboration, focus, and delivery.
Is Network Perspective suitable for AI-first engineering teams?
Yes. Network Perspective supports AI-first workflows by:
This allows teams to move from static dashboards to continuous system improvement.
Which tool is better: Jellyfish or Network Perspective?
Jellyfish is a strong choice for organizations focused on:
Network Perspective is better suited for teams that want to:
You’re already investing in tools, processes, and people. But without visibility into what slows teams down, you’re flying blind. Our developer experience insights help you cut delays, fix what’s broken, and unlock team speed—without the guesswork. Start small. Scale fast. See results in weeks.
