Game-changer for assessing and enhancing team productivity.
What do you like best about the product?
What I liked best about Hivel is its ability to provide deep insights into our software development process. The standout feature for me is the cockpit, which offers a clear, concise view of key metrics. It helps us assess our organization's performance against specific goals. No more digging through complex data; it's all right there at a glance.
The weekly and monthly activity breakdown was another feature that I found to be quite useful. With this, I could get detailed information about team activity at each level. This granularity could be invaluable for optimizing our workflow.

What do you dislike about the product?
As with any platform, there's room for improvement - specifically would like to see an improvement in the productivity metrics for QA engineers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Hivel, a lot of our productivity assessments were based on general observations. Now, we can use Hivel to track the daily activity of our engineers and developers. Precisely, we can check the number of commits, lines of code, PRs merged, number of reviews, etc.
The automated AI-generated insights on team and individual performance are invaluable. The best part is that they're unbiased and data-driven, allowing us to identify our team’s strengths and weaknesses to improve our overall productivity.
Integrating Hivel into our daily standup meetings has been a game-changer. We can now make decisions on the spot, address emerging issues, and seize opportunities promptly.

Analytics for our engineering leads
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel helps us with insights for our tech and engineering leads in our company. They spot areas of improvement that can be done in our current software engineering practices. We use the no-code integration and look at the progress and commits through their dashboard
What do you dislike about the product?
Would love to see support for individual developers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our engineering leads monitor the activity through Slack (channel integration). We maintain some metrics (sprint cycle, deployment frequency) and ensure that there's a healthy software development practice in place.
Excellent product for getting engineering insights and building with high velocity
What do you like best about the product?
Our organizational planning discussions improved significantly with clear visibility for the alignment of resources to initiatives and projects. Our speed of execution improved by at least 1.3 times faster for requirements to release time frames. Highly recommend Hivel for organizations focusing on engineering efficiency and moving towards profitability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Meetings information needs integration into utilization metrics. Waiting for the release, It is nice that we are part of this feature build, and our input is being embedded into the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hivel opens up doors for deep insights into an area where we are flying blind, creates a culture for measurement and progress with extremely relevant info & paves the way for a high-velocity execution.
Drastically improve productivity with the right insights
What do you like best about the product?
The product is intuitive & very easy to use. As an engineering manager, it helps me capture project and team-level insights quickly on a single screen, which is very helpful. I've been using it to coach my teams on areas of improvement like code reviews, and to report engineering performance to management. I also use the platform to see where the teams are spending their effort and track if that's aligned with business goals. This ensures timely course correction.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike at this point. I'm able to get all the relavant information from Hivel and therefore I dont see any negative points about the application as it is well crafted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hivel has made it easier for me to communicate with my engineering team and with the management team in the most effective way. I have more data to make sound decisions, and I am also able to have better conversations with the team to improve their velocity. Having the right data removes the subjective conversations, giving more clarity to everybody in the conversation.
Critical insights for managing your engineering teams
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel provides clear visibility in the different aspects of development. What I specifically appreicate is its ability to highlight challenges which may be different from team to team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would love for Hivel to provide API access at some point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding engineering teams productivity which helps us get to the underlying issues and help prioritize ways to improve developer productivity
Elevated Developer morale and experience
What do you like best about the product?
As an engineering manager, a good amount of time is spent trying to gain visibility into problems in the process to help unblock devs. Equally, engineering operations are a distraction for our team and myself, trying to prepare for our meetings in a more objective way.
Hivel really saves a lot of time for me, my analytics teams, scrum teams and engineers pulling up reports right out of the box.

What do you dislike about the product?
Yet to find something to dislike, but they have an amazing support team who’s not only ready to answer questions, but sends mini nuggets of insights which comes really handy
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We lacked visibility into engineering teams, processes, and relied on manual, reactive approaches to data. Hivel saves time, has great UI/UX, has easy to use dashboards and insights, which led to elevated developer experience.
Super helpful to improve dev productivity
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very helpful in getting visiblity into the software development process. We use it to see team velocity and progress of developers across a sprint. We can spot signs of overburdened devs and then redistribute work within the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I use the Jira, Slack and Git integrations but would like more integrations which are on their product roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us identify areas of improvement like process bottlenecks such as merge and review time. We can also correlate data between Jira and Git, which used to be very difficult for us to do manually before we got Hivel.
Saves a lot of time for engineers and leads
What do you like best about the product?
We were initially pulling data manually for a small subset of what Hivel is showing on the platform, taking so much of our time. With Hivel, we are saving time and making our retrospective meetings (open PRs, rework, hotfixes are useful), standup calls and staff meetings more effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a dislike, but Hivel has a lot of valuable data and we requested APIs to allow us to fetch data and integrate with our other tools, and it's on their roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time and providing more real time alerts that help us unblock dependencies, save time and improve overall efficiency. It's reducing our engineering operations effort and streamlining the usage of metrics across teams.
Very productive
What do you like best about the product?
Flying blind about engineering processes and resource utilization was a constant challenge until we got Hivel. As a CEO, we have clear metrics from our sales, marketing, and customer success, but not from engineering.
Hivel provides a cockpit with trends around all metrics that answer our questions, like the development speed, where our engineers invest the time, how the efforts are mapped to business outcomes, and more.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's been a considerable value add, and I can't dislike anything yet.
But as we are engaging with the product, we are asking for help in implementing, and so far their support team has been quite responsive.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted visibility into our engineering team's metrics to see how and where we our engineers are spending time and how we can leverage their time better. While some of the decisions may seem right at the team level, getting an overall perspective of the org is important and Hivel solves that with their product. It helped us become effective.
