Why Hivel is the right tool for you?

Git & Jira - Driven Insights Without Bias

Unlike BlueOptima, which relies on effort-based scoring models, Hivel provides real-time analytics by directly analyzing commits, pull requests, and code reviews in Git. From engineering activity in Git—ensuring teams work with real, up-to-date data along with project status which can be synced with Git data and Jira data. This eliminates manual updates ,ensures accuracy and unbiased data.

Team Productivity Beyond Individual Effort

Hivel doesn’t just measure individual contributions; it helps teams work smarter. From detecting bottlenecks to tracking DORA metrics and PR cycle times, Hivel provides actionable recommendations that improve overall team efficiency, reducing delays and increasing velocity. BlueOptima’s coding effort metrics don’t offer this level of team-wide visibility.

AI-Driven Workflows

With AI-powered reporting and Slack-based workflow automation, Hivel takes engineering analytics a step further. Teams receive automated sprint updates, pull request nudges, and intelligent insights—cutting down on status meetings and manual tracking. BlueOptima lacks AI-driven workflow enhancements, making engineering management less efficient.

Actionable, Developer-Centric Dashboards

Hivel offers fully customizable dashboards that provide real-time insights into engineering workflows. With drag-and-drop widgets, AI-driven reporting, and interactive team performance tracking, Hivel ensures that engineering leaders get actionable insights, not just static reports.
