Release more features and fewer bugs with flexible, asynchronous communication.
Before CloudApp, the Honeycomb workflows relied on native screenshot tools, clumsy in nature, and text to explain relevant graphs or data, the basic problems of code and potential solutions. “I was communicating with screenshots through the default operating system. It was much harder to conduct our reviews. We couldn’t relay our diagnosis without inefficient, manual steps that inevitably brokedown communication instead of building it up.”
This clumsiness in communication led to repeat questions and repeat answers given and taken by the Honeycomb team and their customers. The team didn’t know it yet, but they were reviewing less and communicating more. Totally unproductive.
Rapid deployment with continuous feature delivery
CloudApp Visuals = Pinpoint Accuracy + More Work
It wasn’t until the integration of CloudApp that the team saw how much time was taken away from work and towards communication.
Work Communication = Too Much Time + Too Much Friction
How does the team use CloudApp now? They elevate their technical conversations with visuals integrated into their workflow.
- CloudApp elevates its UI feature development workflow.
- Developers can now insert video capture links directly into pull requests.
- Developers can view and understand a bug without ever leaving an application.
- The link unfurl feature displays a thumbnail image so recipients can instantly process what the link is without clicking it.
- This feature and its integration with JIRA smooths bug tracking and project management.
- CloudApp centralizes communication with ready-to-paste links into messaging apps like Slack and Hipchat.
Fast ROI and rewarding payback in under three months
Teams maximize their take

24% Fewer Bugs
Crystal clear communication means that the team push higher quality code to production.
17% Fewer Meetings
Quick asynchronous messages means fewer Zoom calls, more time for developers to write code.
90 Days Payback
It didn’t take long for the new style of visual communication to start paying dividends. Once the whole team was on board and got used to videos instead of email, CloudApp paid for itself.
The leading observability platform Honeycomb.io sees payback in less than three months with visual work communication tool.
UI planning, quality code delivery on tight timelines.
What is Honeycomb.io? It’s a fast analysis tool that finds patterns and outliers across billions of rows of data to solve problems.
Teams maximize their takeaways for refined insights. They can raise questions of their own software, as well as across any part of the tech stack they use. We sat down with Honeycomb co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Christine Yen, to understand why CloudApp is now a tool her team can’t live without.
