COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions teams ask before switching

Is RVS Softek Time in status report a cost-effective alternative to OBSS Timepiece?

Yes, for teams whose primary need is workflow analytics without the enterprise platform layer. If you're using Time in Status and cycle time reports as your main use case, you're paying for automated reporting, scheduled alarms, eazyBI, and a REST API you'll never open. RVS Softek is priced for workflow visibility specifically.

Does RVS Softek have fewer report types than Timepiece?

Timepiece has 15+ report types, including enterprise features like Any Field Duration and AI-assisted configuration. RVS Softek has 20+ report types all focused on workflow analytics: time in status, time between statuses, SLA percentiles, trend analysis, and more. The key difference is that every RVS Softek report answers the same question, where is work getting stuck, with no enterprise automation layer to navigate around.

Yes. RVS Softek Time in Status Reports is built on native Atlassian Forge, meaning your data is processed entirely within your Jira environment. It never leaves your instance or touches external servers.

Does RVS Softek work with Jira Cloud and Data Center?

Yes. RVS provides a native JSON feed specifically for Power BI and other BI tool integrations. This is a dedicated export path — not a workaround. Your data team gets clean, structured workflow data ready for analysis.

What makes RVS better for SLA tracking?

RVS Softek includes median and 85th percentile calculations as clearly surfaced, first-class report types, exactly what support and ops teams need for SLA reporting. These aren't buried inside a broader analytics platform; they are the core of what RVS Softek is built to do.

Is our workflow data secure?

Yes. RVS Softek Time in Status Reports is an Atlassian Marketplace-verified plugin built on native Forge. All data stays within your Jira instance and is subject to Atlassian's security and compliance standards.
