Why Engineering Leaders Choose Hivel Over DX?

Engineering leaders choose Hivel because we are built by and for engineers. We have a deep, first-hand understanding of the problems you face from inefficient workflows to team burnout, because we've lived them. Unlike platforms that provide rigid, confusing metrics, Hivel gives you real-time visibility with customizable dashboards, deep Git-Jira correlations, and AI-driven SDLC impact and insights. Our approach isn't about top-down surveillance; it's about empowering every engineer leader with the clarity they need to do their best work.

Making engineering metrics intuitive, insightful, and actionable.

Problem #1  with DX

The Uncertainty of a Multi-Product Suite

What do you dislike about DX?
A recent acquisition by a multi-product giant means DX's future is uncertain. As a small part of a much larger ecosystem, its resources, roadmap, and core focus may shift to serve the parent company's broader agenda. This can leave customers feeling like a small fish in a very big, complex pond.

We are a customer-first, single-product company. Our entire team is dedicated to building the best developer analytics tool on the market. Our success is directly tied to your team's success, which means our roadmap is driven by your feedback and your specific needs, not by the demands of a sprawling product suite.

Problem #2  with DX

The Complexity of a "Research-Driven" Tool

What do you dislike about DX?
"DX's platform is based on extensive research and proprietary frameworks, which can be difficult for teams to understand and adopt. This complexity often leads to a lengthy and costly implementation process, delaying the time to value."

Problem #3  with DX

Focuses on individual surveillance, not process improvement

What do you dislike about DX?
"DX positions itself as a Developer Experience platform, but it struggles to connect developer metrics directly to tangible business outcomes. A beautiful dashboard of satisfaction scores and flow metrics is great, but it falls short when your CFO asks for the ROI of your AI tools. Without a clear line of sight from engineering data to business results, it's hard to justify budget and strategic decisions."
