What do you like best about Hivel?

I appreciate the realtime data it shows from Git and Jira and helps us easily identify any bottlenecks in terms of coding time, code reviews or merges. I personally liked the Activity screen where we can see the frequency and size of code changes done by the developers. Also the pull request screen where we can see the details of all PRs merged by us and understand the blockers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hivel?

Really easy to use analytics tool where we can get insights and visibility into developer productivity. Its ability to combine data from different sources to show useful metrics is impressive. I especially like the part where we can see sprint wise data from Jira and understand how much coding work was being done in the sprints. Only Jira or Git do not have this capability.

What do you like best about Hivel?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hivel?

As with any platform, there's room for improvement - specifically would like to see an improvement in the productivity metrics for QA engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hivel 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hivel?

Hivel provide perfect insights about team productivity. When you are handling large engineering team it will always a tedious task to understand the work load and tickets individual team members handling. However, integrating Hivel with GitHub has made this task much more manageable by providing seamless insights into the work being handled by different teams. I find the D3 graph charts generated by Hivel to represent the data in a very intuitive and visually appealing manner, which makes it easier for me to understand the productivity of the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hivel?

Nothing as of now. But, I would like to have a feature that will send productivity reports to your inbox on a weekly basis. This will allow you to easily view high level insights into the work being handled by your team. The reports to include information such as the number of tickets closed, the number of pull requests merged, and any other metrics that you would like to track.
