What do you like best about Hivel?

Hivel is like Google Maps for our engineering organization. Without Hivel, we would be completely blind!

What started as an exploratory pilot has now become a mission-critical tool for our engineering org. From our Senior Leadership to the Engineering Managers, everyone checks Hivel frequently. Now, we are driving all our goals and decisions using Hivel's data.

The best part? In addition to a great product, the CX team at Hivel is exceptionally supportive and proactive and an unparalleled value addition for us. The implementation and integration were equally smooth.

Investing in Hivel has been the best decision we made in 2023. We plan to double down on it in 2024. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hivel?

Nothing to dislike. Looking forward to all the new features on their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hivel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were relying on Excel sheets and ad-hoc 1:1s to get a pulse check on our engineering organization. There was no single source of trust to understand if

- our engineering priorities were aligned with the business objectives,

- are we working at the correct pace,

- where are our current bottlenecks,

- is someone in the team burning out or needs help?

This resulted in reduced productivity, missed deadlines, and affected our bottom line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hivel?

We were solely relying on gut instinct until we discovered Hivel's dashboards, data, and insights. We had no idea what we didn't know, and the efficiency report they presented had all of those aha moments. Some measures are new to us, yet they are useful. We now have a greater understanding of what is going on in our teams, what is holding us back, and what we can do better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hivel?

Engineering metrics for efficiency are very new, and it may take some time to learn how to utilize or implement them. Hivel has done an excellent job of providing those metrics in an understandable manner, and their support team is available on Slack for speedier replies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hivel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hivel has offered previously unavailable visibility into total engineering org productivity and efficiency. It has also aided in the standardization of processes across different teams. As the firm is still in its early stages, having this platform in place allows our management to make data-driven choices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hivel?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hivel?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hivel 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.

What do you like best about Hivel?

Hivel was an essential part of our tech stack. Our engineering team relied heavily on its accurate weekly insights to track progress, see workload distribution among the team, and assess overall performance. We also reviewed our entire engineering activity—manitenance, rework, new work, unreviewed PRs, etc—in neatly visualized dashboard.

All the data from Hivel also supported our decision-making process to prioritize tasks and map out our weekly, monthly, and quarterly plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hivel?

We didn't find any issues throughout our time using Hivel. I also want to mention how their customer success team is always available to offer help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hivel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hivel played a crucial role in enhancing collaboration in our engineering team. It gave us deeper visibility into our team's progress and organized the way we planned projects. The biggest outcome was a notable increase in our engineering pace and the way we handled new requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
