Q: I am having a hard time understanding the benefits of this product.
All insights are already available with properly setup project management tools like JIRA or ClickUp. This includes all the issues, the release cycles, bugs, patches, versions, even the upcoming tasks. Our JIRA timeline looks almost identical to CTO insights, and it's fully integrated with git. I don't see how adding another step will make things easier for employees.

As you've noted there are quite a few different tools out there that approach measuring software delivery in different ways. Many often aim to tell the story of developer productivity through using "story points" or git commits. In our experience these approaches usualy don't do a great job to tell the "whole story" that matters to engineering teams.
Our approach is formulated around deep vertical integration with CI/CD & Cloud workflows that empower the developer teams to customize their workflows in ways that drive measurment of their DevOps process, not individuals or user stories.
We specifically focus on measuring research backed metrics from the DevOps Research Association (now part of Google) which have been proven to be the most holistic and fair way to measure the impact of DevOps culture in software teams.
We also have some really powerful event trigger integrations with our own CI/CD workflow tooling which allows you to deeply customize your CI/CD workflow.
Hope that helps answer where we are a bit different!
