"Easy, Clear Visibility Across Engineering with Smooth Linear & GitHub Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

It’s pretty easy to use and straightforward to understand. It’s been very helpful for seeing what’s happening across our engineering teams, and I really like that it integrates smoothly with Linear and GitHub. I also appreciate that it can identify Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI tooling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

Nothing major, really. I do wish it were a bit easier to view individual performance, but that’s not really what this tool is meant for, per se, and it isn’t really our goal either. We're trying to understand and improve the performance of the overall team and it certainly helps us to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized PR Management with Slack Integration"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

I like the Slack integration in Swarmia, especially the way it can poke you and tell what's pending and if something is waiting for attention. It's really convenient to give reactions directly from Slack. I also appreciate the instant updates on Slack and the focus on code metrics and DORA metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

The pricing part of Swarmia is a concern. We're thinking of switching to other tools like PulseCheckAI because those tools are way cheaper, even though they don't come close in terms of ease. But the pricing strategy is a big plus for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Slack PR Notifications, but app.swarmia’s UI Is Hard to Navigate"
3/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

I like the slack notifications regarding state of my PRs. Its probably the only feature i use a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

I almost never go to app.swarmia, reason being I can never find anything from there that i want. UI is just wildly confusing and unintuitive. For example i seen graph that shows categories of my PRs few times, and I could never ever find it again.

To be completely honest. I always end up quite pissed off when i try to find anything from app.swarmia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Metrics with User-Friendly Interface"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

I find Swarmia really useful because it provides metrics about our dev team and about GitHub Actions that we can't easily access anywhere else. The UI is quite nice and presents a large amount of data in a well-understandable and structured way. It's easy to find information and navigate between the different metrics. The initial setup was very easy, which was great for getting started quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

I think it would be nice to have metrics about developers. I know it's not good to compare, but still there would be interesting things. Like which repo has which 'implicit owners / most active developers'? or does a developer tend to implement more frontend or more backend? It's already possible today, but very difficult via filtering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless DORA Metrics, But Integration Needs Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

I really like that Swarmia provides us with DORA metrics almost for free, which I find to be a high-value tool to gauge where we stand as a tech team. Additionally, the initial setup of Swarmia was really easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

It's hard to connect bugs into Swarmia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Trial & Onboarding That Quickly Showed Swarmia’s Value"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

The trial & onboarding experience made it easy to see what value we would get out of adopting Swarmia. A lot of useful data started to populate just by sharing access to our development tools, and there were workflows to help us identify and correct misaligned data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

We want to keep our existing development tools as the source of truth, but Swarmia also wants to be the source of truth, so it can be confusing where to make categorization adjustments. It can be tedious to skip past Swarmia's own view of a work item, to get to our existing ticketing system's view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Engineering Teams with Actionable Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

I like the clarity of Swarmia's dashboards and the focus on trends rather than raw numbers, which makes the data actionable without micromanagement. It's easy to find bottlenecks in processes and recognize patterns, which helps in having more objective conversations with the team based on data. The data is also useful at a leadership level. Additionally, I appreciate that the initial setup was quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

The level of customization could be more flexible, so there's some space for improvement. Also, the pricing model is tightly tied to GitHub seats, even though not all users in the GitHub organization necessarily require analytics (to be tracked). It would be helpful to have more flexibility around integrations customization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Developer Workflow, Easy Setup"
4/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

I like how easy it was to set up Swarmia. It's great that it offers a good list of presets, which helps us know what to focus on weekly. This feature gives our developers a top of mind focus and helps us collectively try and hit our goals for the next week. Additionally, using Swarmia, we're able to measure cycle time better, see when pull requests and issues are over the time limits, and use the agreements feature. These aspects have helped us improve our cycle time and, in turn, our development velocity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

We do mobile app development, and it's not completely clear what we should focus on. Dora somewhat works, but due to the review times and release and deployment times, it's not necessarily the best metric. I'm still working out what the best metrics are for mobile app development, and Swarmia could better guide me in that process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Insights with Clear UI and Slack Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Swarmia?

I like Swarmia's clear UI, which helps me understand at a glance and removes hurdles by showing me the numbers I'm interested in. The charts and explanations are clear, and the documentation is helpful when I want to dig deeper. I also appreciate the good Slack notifications that help me stay on top of what's going on in GitHub, especially for tracking PR reviews and comments. The initial setup was quite easy, just logging in and configuring access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swarmia?

We'd like to be able to configure custom GitHub actions for deployments. We have a specific GitHub action we use for deploys, so every run of that action means a deploy. That would mean easier configuration of deployments for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
