What Engineering Leaders say

Vaibhav Bansal
V.P. Engineering
"Hivel has been phenomenal in helping us present our progress to leadership. Its insights into leading indicators have empowered our team leads to enhance review efficiency and ship features faster. Now, we are able to show the impact of our process changes, clearly identify areas of opportunity, and bring in a data-driven culture without spending time pulling manual reports."
Murali Swaminathan
Chief Technology Officer
“We were looking for a unique solution to understand engineering productivity and efficiency, with a single tool that could give leaders complete visibility. We evaluated other comparable tools, but none were comprehensive enough. When we came across Hivel, it checked all the boxes for measuring developer productivity across both AI and non-AI workflows.”
Ameen M
Engineering Manager
"Hivel has made a huge difference to how I manage my teams. Before every one-on-one or appraisal, I rely on it to dive into developer metrics and drive truly meaningful conversations. It helps me spot rework patterns, reward high performers, and benchmark our teams even against our US counterparts. The dashboards are intuitive, insightful, and honestly far more actionable than anything we get from Jira."
Derek Mackie
Director of Engineering
"Using Hivel shone a light on the non-standard aspects of our work, emphasizing the need for crucial adjustments. The insights from Hivel helped us recognize areas for improvement, particularly in managing cycle times and streamlining development workflows. This guidance has been instrumental in our efforts to enhance operational efficiency and productivity."
Leonardo Pinheiro Ferrari
Chief Technology Officer
"Thanks to Hivel, we've seen a staggering 157% improvement in our deployment frequency. By identifying and addressing inefficiencies, and adopting best practices, we've significantly accelerated our progress. Hivel has been instrumental in our journey to operational excellence."
Chris Callander
Senior Engineering Manager
"Hivel has been instrumental in identifying areas for enhancement and guiding our strategic improvements. It has significantly contributed to our journey toward greater operational efficiency. The Activity and Dev360 features in Hivel have been particularly valuable for providing feedback to engineers during 1-1's, enhancing our communication and development practices."
Shiro Theuri
Chief Technology Officer
"Before Hivel, understanding our engineering team's dynamics was a game of guesswork. Now, with Hivel's clear dashboards and insights, our leaders have the clarity and time-saving tools they need to excel. It's been transformative in streamlining our operations."
Koti Reddy
Chief Technology Officer
"Incorporating Hivel into our daily operations has been a game-changer. It's not just a tool; it's a part of our strategic decision-making process, trusted by our leaders at every level. The impact on our engineering efficiency is undeniable and deeply valued."
Manoj Awasthi
Chief Technology Officer
"It has been great to partner with Hivel to get access to insights that help leaders at all levels gain visibility into bottlenecks and challenges that the teams face, build actionable plan to resolve them and track the progress over time. And thanks for the fantastic support!"
Paras Sood
Associate Director
"Hivel's insights have been pivotal in refining our engineering processes, elevating both efficiency and the developer experience. We're now making smarter decisions, faster, thanks to Hivel."

Frequently asked questions

Why is Hivel better than BlueOptima for AI adoption metrics?

Hivel measures AI-generated code that survives review and reaches production. BlueOptima relies on surveys and surface signals, which are outdated and cannot confirm how much AI code actually ships.

Why is this critical for AI ROI decisions?

Without an accurate adoption baseline, AI impact and ROI calculations remain incomplete and difficult to defend.

How fast can we see value?

Most teams see value in under 48 hours once integrations and access are in place. BlueOptima typically requires weeks of survey setup.

How does BlueOptima’s developer scoring affect teams?

BlueOptima’s "Actual Coding Effort" score penalizes efficient senior engineers for writing cleaner code, leading to dissatisfaction and negative perceptions among development teams.

Why is BlueOptima’s workflow measurement limited?

BlueOptima fails to measure modern workflows like AI-assisted coding, pair programming, and CI/CD improvements, resulting in incomplete insights into engineering efficiency.

What are the issues with BlueOptima’s survey-based data?

BlueOptima relies on surveys, which can provide stale and unreliable data instead of real-time, actionable insights, hindering timely decision-making.

Is Hivel enterprise-ready?

Yes. With SOC2 and SSO/SCIM compliance and role-based access controls, Hivel is an ideal partner for global enterprises, helping many public companies in the US, Europe, and globally.

Can Hivel run in our environment?

Yes. Hivel supports VPC and on-prem deployments.

What integrations are required?

Hivel connects to your existing engineering stack, including Git, task tracking like Jira, calendars, code quality tools, and AI coding tools, to combine code, delivery, and AI usage data into one executive view.

What support do we get post setup?

You get dedicated DevEx Engineers who work closely with your team to interpret data, audit hygiene, deliver custom insights based on your use cases, and help you achieve defined goals over time.
