Exactly what we needed
Replaced a manual process that was eating an hour a day across the team. Straightforward to configure and it's held up under real usage.
- Saves real time weekly
Genuinely changed how our team ships
We put this in front of real work for three weeks before trusting it near main. It's now part of the default flow, and reviewers spend their time on the parts that actually need judgment.
- Fast to set up
- Caught real bugs
- Occasional context loss on very large diffs
Would recommend with caveats
Good value for the price, and the team behind it ships improvements fast. Just don't expect it to read your mind about internal conventions on day one.
- Frequent updates
- Fair pricing
- Some rough edges in edge cases
Useful but needs guardrails
Works well for the narrow case we use it for. We had to add explicit boundaries after it did something a bit too enthusiastic in week one.
- Capable when scoped well
- Needs explicit boundaries
- Support response was slow
