Helped us reduce cycle time by just being visible
What do you like best about the product?
Earlier PRs were remaining open for a long time, now reviewers don’t miss them anymore. That’s been a game changer for our team velocity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The labeling in some charts took a bit to get used to a glossary link on the page might help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cycle time, review delays, and large PRs are finally under control. Everyone’s more aware, and it reflects in how we ship.
Takes the guesswork out of team performance
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel's dashboards make engineering metrics feel more alive. Even someone non-technical on our team got value from it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to drag and drop dashboard elements to personalize more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're tracking DORA metrics effortlessly now, and reviews don’t fall through the cracks no more.
A seamless and smooth experience from start to finish. Everything exceeded my expectations.
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel gives me the key highlights ahead of 1:1s and retros, so I’m never scrambling through Git or Jira to get context.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are times when the story point data feels off from what we actually scoped — possibly due to inconsistencies in ticket updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hivel sheds light on how our team operates day to day — from spotting rework patterns to tracking PR timelines — so we can make timely adjustments.
Highly Effective for Engineering Teams – Would Love Better JIRA Alignment
What do you like best about the product?
We’ve been using Hivel to boost our team’s developer velocity, and it’s made a noticeable impact. The Daily Activity and Dev360 views help us track day-to-day work, focus time, and overall contribution without needing constant follow-ups. It brings much-needed visibility, especially in remote or hybrid setups.
The Pull Request insights, along with the Cockpit dashboard and Investment Profile, have helped us identify bottlenecks in our delivery pipeline and track where time is being spent across initiatives. With built-in DORA and SPACE metrics, it becomes much easier for tech leads and managers to take data-driven decisions. Hivel has genuinely added value to our engineering workflows.

What do you dislike about the product?
One area of improvement could be around the Investment section — it would be great if it could better align with how different clients use JIRA. For example, supporting custom fields, and allowing DORA metrics, story points, and bug story points to be pulled based on specific JIRA projects or filters, would make this feature more powerful and customisable across teams and best to have based on Sprint Cycle.

They are Solving Engineering Productivity and Improving Developers Velocity
Excellent
What do you like best about the product?
It doesn’t try to do everything—and that’s a good thing. Hivel sticks to what matters and gives us clear metrics around PR velocity, rework, and bottlenecks.
What do you dislike about the product?
We hit a weird bug syncing a repo once, but support fixed it pretty fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’ve identified two recurring delays in our review cycle we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.
Makes Team Contributions Visible and Meaningful
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel shines a light on the quiet contributors, the ones doing incredible work without always being in the spotlight. The platform helps give credit where it's due, and that goes a long way for team morale. I also really appreciate the smart notifications; they keep me updated on team activities and progress without having to constantly check in manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the overall experience is great, I wish the UI could be a bit more customizable. Sometimes the dashboard feels a bit rigid, and being able to tailor it more to individual preferences or workflows would make it even more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hivel is solving the challenge of visibility and recognition in team contributions. Often, quieter team members or those working behind the scenes don’t get the recognition they deserve. Hivel helps surface their efforts by tracking engagement, speed, and overall contribution — which leads to better performance insights and more balanced team dynamics. It’s also reduced the need for constant manual check-ins by giving a clear picture of what’s happening across projects.
Hivel Helps Us Catch Issues Before They Escalate
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel gives me early insight into team dynamics, whether it's a slowdown, extended PR cycles, or increasing code churn. It’s about proactive visibility, not just postmortem analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now as such I don't find any drawback in Hivel. But I think there is a small learning curve associated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hivel helps me identify delivery risks early - like slowdowns or blockers - so I can step in mid-sprint and keep projects on track. It’s made course correction a real-time capability, not something we only do after the fact.
Optimising Developer processes
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel's user interface was easy to begin with. It tracks essential metrics such as PR, cycle times and review efficiency. Frequent check-ins from their team has also helped us clarify our usage related queries quickly and it involved a fairly quick setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would love to see more flexibility with custom reports for management
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps in not only understanding what the bottlenecks are but also helps us focus our time on much more important tasks. Streamlining processes, scheduling work are a couple of things which were definitely made easier.
Hivel helps a lot in our standups.
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel throws light onto our team's performance through various metrics and trends such as cycle time, review time, pickup delays.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far, everything is positive..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I walk in with clear talking points, I know which PRs are stuck, where we need help, and who’s overloaded.
No more guesswork in engineering
What do you like best about the product?
Hivel cuts through the noise and gives me real, actionable data. From contributor-level metrics to org-wide trends, I finally have a dashboard that helps me do something.
Implementation was very easy and quick.

What do you dislike about the product?
There were some issues initially but the Hivel team was very prompt and responsive in solving those issues quickly for the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Earlier, we relied on scattered tools and manual tracking to understand team activity. With Hivel, I can see how each repo, PR, and team is performing in real time.
