Why leading engineering teams choose Swarmia over Waydev

Modern organizations need more than passive reports and basic automations. Swarmia gives you granular engineering metrics and drives concrete improvements across all levels of the organization.
Get a holistic picture of your engineering organization
Swarmia helps you combine system metrics and developer feedback from engineering surveys so you know exactly what to improve and how.

The survey results are easy to collect and turn into concrete action points. With Waydev, you need to solely rely on quantitative reports, missing the deeper context that comes from hearing directly from your developers.
Understand and balance engineering investments
Swarmia’s investment balance provides an intuitive view of how your organization divides time between different types of work. Waydev’s similar tools focus mainly on the high-level views, and are more time-consuming to set up and keep up to date.

The investment categories in Swarmia are fully configurable, allowing you to track any type of work you want. After setting basic rules for categorizing issues and PRs, Swarmia automatically splits them, making it easier to maintain accurate investment tracking.

Use working agreements to improve as a team
Both Swarmia and Waydev integrate with Slack to send real-time notifications. However, Swarmia also lets you set team-wide working agreements to align with key priorities.

Whether you want to follow industry best practices or set numeric targets, Swarmia has a working agreement for that.
“With visibility into the right metrics in Swarmia, we were able to set the right ways of working, which significantly improved our lead time.”

Director of Engineering, Hostaway
