Love spreadsheets but need SaaS apps? Meet the only collaborative spreadsheet with two-way integrations. Build solutions that perfectly fit your workflow, powered by SaaS app data syncing to and from Jira: Live Salesforce: Alpha Hubspot: Alpha
We were using a bunch of other spreadsheet like tools trying to make it work with Hubspot. But this is way better and integrates with Hubspot way better than anything else!
👋 Hello PH! Thanks @ellenchisa for supporting us in the past and hunting us today. 🙏
It’s Mike Yaro here, CEO & Founder at Visor, along with our core team of @pshanley423, @shivanmodha, @jonathan_slavuter, and @corey_boornazian.
While everyone has SaaS apps, the dirty secret is that most businesses actually run on spreadsheets made by builders like you. 🤫 Unfortunately, there’s a huge disconnect between spreadsheets (where work gets done) and SaaS apps (where data lives). This disconnect costs time and creates confusion.
Even worse, trying to integrate spreadsheets & SaaS apps feels hopeless. Setup is difficult, automations are unreliable, and “syncing” only goes one way. Ugh! 😫
I learned all this because our first product, before Visor, kept losing customers to spreadsheets. While researching why, we discovered that teams of all sizes turn spreadsheets into solutions like:
🗺 Product roadmaps
🧳 Hiring pipelines
📇 Personal CRMs
📊 Reports for clients
They loved the flexibility to create bespoke ways of working. Yet nearly everyone had attempted to integrate with their SaaS apps and failed. One poor friend accidentally created an infinite loop of automation that blew up Jira! ♾ 🤯
We imagined a future where pioneering solution-builders, or “solutioneers,” could create new ways to interact with their SaaS data. Using the integrations we previously built, we started creating the world’s only collaboration platform where integrations come first ☝🏻. (Literally!)
We’re launching today with Jira as our first live integration. We have hundreds of teams using Visor to:
🔧 Organize their Jira backlog quickly
🏃♂️ Run faster standup meetings
✅ Manage a smoother QA process
📧 Share interactive client updates
🏢 Create executive views that are never stale
Visor is particularly powerful for PMs who with complex workflow and many collaborators. Each “tab” in a Visor workbook is a new view of the same data. From one source of truth, you can create multiple solutions that fit perfectly to a specific stakeholder, workflow, or recurring meeting. 🔮
The product is free to use, with paid plans for when you need more power⚡️ . Follow the “Visit” link from this page, and promo code ‘ph22’ will automatically be applied. That gives your free plan double the record capacity forever and 8x more sync credits for the first month.
We are here all day to hear what you think and answer questions. Your feedback will help us improve our product. Also, check out our public roadmap, which is available inside the product.
Thanks for reading and checking us out! 🙌
I've been following Visor for a while now. Their product is super slick and their bi-directional integrations are super strong.
Congrats on launching a great product - excited to see what the future holds for the product & the creative use cases that customers solve with it.
@gkarelitz Thanks so much, Greg! We're so excited for our HubSpot integration to get built out and launched, too! What are some use cases you could see for that?
Finally, an app that offers true bi-directional syncing to make everyone’s life easier! Following the Visor journey has been inspirational— happy to see you on PH today and hear what the community has to say 🚀
I really love Visor - as a PM, I always struggle with keeping tracking and executive summary spreadsheets up to date with data across Jira, Salesforce, etc. Very excited about what the team is building!!
@malavika_balachandran Thanks so much! Your feedback has been instrumental to our story and development. So excited to have you as part of the community. 🙌
@malavika_balachandran Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you're already getting value out of Visor, especially since we're only just getting started! Super excited to hear your continued journey!
@malavika_balachandran thanks for your feedback! We love supporting contributors that are in-the-weeds, as well as those folks that prefer to review and share for higher-level reporting purposes.
I love Visor's multiple views of the same data. Multiple audiences that I have to present to have get the right information at the right time to make the right decisions. So excited for this launch and what comes next for this product!
@gabby_colson Thanks so much for the amazing feedback. That's so core to Visor - creating multiple views for different audiences. You're such a key part of this story given your feedback through the years. Cheers! @corey_boornazian
@gabby_colson thanks for illuminating more paths for Visor to help smarter teams collaborate more effectively. May you never see a stale mockup of a roadmap again 🔥
Bi-directional syncing of data---Boom! I've had a front-row seat watching this team build amazing product! There’s a huge disconnect between spreadsheets (where work gets done) and SaaS apps (where data lives). @visordotus solves this. Let's go! @michaelyaroshefsky1@mikeyaro
@visordotus@michaelyaroshefsky1@mikeyaro@maia_d_heymann Thanks for your wonderful support and kind words! We've found that the majority of people embark on a journey to leave spreadsheets only to end up knee-deep in spreadsheet data hell -- we're super excited to solve the disconnect you mentioned to make everyone's life easier!
Visor's bi-directional sync makes PMing a Jira-based eng team so much easier. Even better, the Visor team is amazing at taking feedback and using it to iterate and improve their product. Excited to see all the great things for them ahead!
@spencercaton ! It's wonderful to see your comment. You have been instrumental in helping us build this product with your incredible, early feedback. We are so lucky to have people like you in our community!
@spencercaton Thanks Spencer! Even as an engineer, I spend half my time communicating with our users -- it's so deeply engraved in our process, and we all love it! Excited to hear more from the community!
@spencercaton thanks for the high praise! Our goal is to have the most robust, trustworthy, and flexible integrations. Ensuring accuracy in your data is absolutely vital to everyone's success. Also, keep the feedback coming and let us know what we can be doing better!
Once you go Visor, you never go back. Other then the bi-directional syncing, of course, which goes back and forth. So excited to see you on PH today. Looking forward to seeing other community feedback as I know you'll all be listening intently!
Love this product! It's been a game changer in allowing us to customize in a way where teams can be flexible in the way they work without needing to change their standard configurations in tools like JIRA.
We've been using it for executive status summaries, managing blockers, late delivery and is now imbedded in our audit controls.
@margie_burton1 Thanks for the support Margie! Hearing how your team uses Visor has been wonderful. I hope we can continue to make your process more streamlined and flexible.
@margie_burton1 you're in an elite group of super users that has a deep understanding of our app. I'm so glad to hear you chime in here - you're one of our most invested partners and have pushed Visor to new heights!
Awesome product that helps facilitate stronger cross-functional collaboration. Instead of people across an org needing a log-in, people need to just log-in through Visor. This two-way sync is better and stronger than any I've seen on the market!
@yaz_el_baba thanks for the love! We definitely want to reduce the need to login to multiple apps. Centralizing multiple datasets in one collaborative space is the goal!
@nbt Nobody's initials are more appropriate than yours - Next Big Thing! Love you for all the behind-the-scenes help and mentorship you've shared. It's exciting to celebrate with you, today!
I've followed Visor for a few years now. The team has a unique ability to listen to customer feedback, iterate and improve, and build ridiculously amazing software.
Congrats on the launch!
@ethan_goldstein Thanks for sticking with us for so long! We love hearing from our users, and believe that the best products are built with them in mind!
This is going to be a game changer when tracking our omnichannel product and digital enhancement roadmaps from JIRA. Customizable, user friendly, and fast. This will help shorten our standup meetings 🚀
@brian_wegman thanks for your feedback! I'm excited to see how fine tune your Jira projects, and (in the future) how you plan on contextualizing with additional datasets.
Visor makes Jira usable. Without it, I would be so frustrated. I want to see things the way that I or my clients want to see them and that's exactly what Visor does for me. Being able to extract the data in a usable format is also extremely helpful. Visor saves me so much time by the way that I can organize the Issues. Thanks, Visor!
@jhj I'm so happy to hear Visor is working well for you -- brings me so much joy to see that we're making a difference in your workflow! Thanks for all your support!
@jhj we're so glad to hear that! We've done a lot of work to improve our integrations over the last 6 months, and one central tenet we have followed was around providing a familiar, native experience. Please please please use those in-app "Feedback" and chat buttons - we love to hear from you 😄
Spreadsheets have really become a universal language. I've built some pretty complex dashboards before (I used to work at a highly matrixed company where project coordination was both an artform and a nightmare) and whenever we had to get something unstuck we ended up reverting to a spreadsheet for visibility and tracking. I think it had something to do with the simplicity of spreadsheets and the fact that everyone knew how to use it. Every other specialized team dashboard required some level of onboarding to understand what we were looking at, and that's awesome for day-to-day tasks on the team, but really difficult for cross-team coordination. Long story short - I'm super excited about this powered up spreadsheet.
@gotvu This is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. You're 100% right -- there's an incredible gravity to the spreadsheet form factor. It's flexible, familiar, and easy to share.
@gotvu Thanks for the support and what a thoughtful comment! I think a lot of teams end up "retreating" back to spreadsheets when things get a little out of hand, hopefully we can help.
@gotvu really appreciate the insights here. Our core principles have always dictated that our product must be trustworthy, flexible, and shareable. Every decision we make to evolve our product must conform to those principles, and it's evident that the scenario you described directly aligns with why we built Visor.
Visor has helped us with audit, reporting, and sharing data with our internal and client users who are not accessing Jira tickets on a daily basis. It's a great way to digest key information and present it in a more user-friendly way. The Visor team has been incredibly responsive and helpful as well!
@lauren_ebin thanks for your feedback, Lauren! The HudsonMX team highlights the benefits of collaborating transparently and directly with clients in Visor.
@lauren_ebin Thanks for everything Lauren! We love hearing from your team and supporting your use case -- it's just so fascinating and exactly inline of where Visor can go in the future! Excited to continue growing!
