Axolo Reviews & Product Details

I like that messages sync between Github and Slack. It makes our communication way easier, as Slack has better communication features than Github. This is used all day, every day by our company, and is very easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Axolo creates more than one channel for a single Github Pull Request, which scatters information and is not desirable. I reached out to support about this, and they quickly responded that they will look into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very helpful to get comments from github sent in slack - easier to get notified, easier to read, and easier to respond Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like so much that the messages from the slack channel also get posted in github. I think that there should be a thread for each comment from github, where a response on slack would post back to github, but every message from the slack channel going to github means that any non-concise conversation or discussion makes the github conversation look very messy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Axolo really streamlines our pull request workflow by bringing everything into Slack. I love how it creates a temporary channel for each PR, so discussions don’t get buried or spread across threads. It keeps reviewers, authors, and even CI notifications in one place, which makes the feedback loop much faster. I’ve noticed fewer delays in code reviews, and the fact that comments sync back to GitHub means we don’t lose anything. It feels like it reduces friction and keeps everyone more engaged with reviews.

That said, there are a few rough edges. Sometimes old PR channels linger in Slack longer than they should, cluttering up the workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Axolo because it offers ease of use in integration, which stands out for my purposes and speeds up the process of reviewing a pull request. The integration saves us a ton of hours waiting for a review, asking for one, or expecting comments about a coding decision. The initial setup is top-notch, taking less than 10 minutes.

I think the channel prefix can be improved. The current design adds noise to our channels sidebar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Axolo for its simple integration and feedback loop, which makes the process smooth for me. I also enjoy the easy Slack feedback and commands that it offers, simplifying communication during code reviews. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, so getting started was a breeze.

PR review channel naming can be more user friendly and enable archival by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the integrated communication across Slack and Github, I don't have to worry if my reviewers saw that I responded to their comments for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At very busy times it can miss a PR, but it's not too big of a hassle as it happens quite rarely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to respond and react to GitHub reviews from Slack. The comments sync quickly and it makes it easier to keep track of conversations than standalone comments that can't be replied to inside of GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The syncing isn't always perfect. I've had a mismatch between Slack and GitHub before but it is rare. I also wish the comment threads in Slack were easier to track inside of GitHub. Sometimes it can be hard to trace what comments are in response to another comment because there are two threads being discussed at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We already had updates being posted to a Slack channel, but it wouldn’t automatically tag reviewers or notify them - - which was a bit annoying - - and you couldn’t reply in the thread and have it sync back to GitLab. Axolo fixes all of that beautifully. When you add someone as a reviewer, they’re dropped into the dedicated Slack channel for that merge request, and any comments made there (even in threads!) are synced right into GitLab (in a very organized way). It’s made our process smoother, faster, and more convenient. Bonus points for being able to approve a merge request straight from Slack with a quick “/lgtm” - - it’s the ✨ little things ✨ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think of anything at the moment, we've been using it for about 2-3 weeks and it's been absolutely great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slack integration is key. Having automated PR channels makes it super easy to keep track of what is pending and allows you to do most interactions with code reviews (aside from actually reviewing code) in Slack. The standup feature is nice too to remind the team what the state of PRs is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

honestly nothing. it does its job well and I can't imagine not using it now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's really easy to setup and start using. Today I use Axolo integrated with Slack and GitLab repos, every time someone in my team opens a merge request we can centralize the discussions on Slack and be more agile on the reviewing process (and deploying, as well).

So far I didn't found any "dislike". My dream is connect the Axolo's workflow with Jira (move issues to "in review" or "done). So far didn't encountered a way to do this automatically but I think that there's a woy to do this via Jira <> Slack integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
