Axolo Reviews & Product Details

Axolo Overview

What is Axolo?

Axolo is a bi-directional Slack & GitHub/GitLab integration. With Axolo, tech teams can collaborate on pull requests seamlessly. Each pull request creates a temporary Slack channel where all information (deployments, pull request checks, and code comments) will be shared. Axolo takes all of the normal back-and-forths on GitHub and Slack to centralize the conversation in ephemeral pull request channels. But this is only step 1! Features: 💭 An ephemeral Slack channel for each pull request: Axolo opens a Slack channel each time one of your collaborators opens a pull request. Only people that should be invited (reviewers & assignees) are invited. ⏰ PRs reminders: Set up Axolo to send daily reminders in stale PRs. 💻 A complete synch for code reviews: Each Github code review comment creates a new Slack thread. Then, the following comments from GitHub or Slack are sent to the other tool. 👀 High-level view on your team's PRs: With team-specific notifications, Axolo will send new pull request notifications in team channels and react upon the status of the PR (awaiting review, work in progress, mergeable, ...). 🤖 Approve pull requests with /lgtm: Developers can use /lgtm to approve a pull request directly in PR channels! 🏀 All your PRs are a command away: Ask /axolo open to show all open PR of your organization, /axolo me for your open PRs, and /axolo team [name of your team] to show all PRs from a specific team. 🕵️‍♂️ Organize your stand-ups with daily PR recap: You can set up Axolo to send daily PR recap to specific channels to organize your stand-ups. ⏳ Dedicated times for code review: Organize your time with code review time slots and let Axolo notify you only when you're available. Save your development sessions from distractions.

What do you like best about Axolo?

We've had a great experience on our team with Axolo, streamlines our PR workflow because we can see everything in Slack and actually have threads for github PR discussions. Works out of the box, very easy to use and install. We trialed it with our team and after a few months took a poll and everyone loved it and wanted to keep it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

If you don't like noise in Slack, Axolo will probably create more, but there are also tons of settings which you can use to curate notifications if you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Github PR discussions are fragmented due to lack of support of threads, and being conducted in a separate UI from slack. Axolo syncs from github to slack so you can see everything in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Axolo?

Axolo has transformed our GitHub pull request workflow with its seamless Slack integration. The platform excels at streamlining PR organization and review assignments, making our development process much more efficient. The integration between GitHub and Slack works flawlessly, ensuring our team stays informed and coordinated. The automatic notifications and clear visibility of PR status have significantly improved our team's productivity and communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

Initially, we faced some challenges in organizing PR reviewer assignments and establishing a structured review process. However, these early hurdles were overcome as we became more familiar with the platform's features and capabilities. While this wasn't a long-term issue, the learning curve for optimizing reviewer management could be slightly gentler for new teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Axolo addresses several critical challenges in our development workflow. First, it solves the problem of PR visibility and tracking by centralizing all PR-related communications in Slack. This integration eliminates the need to constantly switch between GitHub and communication platforms. Second, it streamlines the reviewer assignment process, which was previously a pain point for our team. The automated notifications and clear status updates have significantly reduced PR review delays and improved our team's overall efficiency. Finally, it helps maintain a more organized and structured review process, ensuring that no PRs fall through the cracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Axolo?

I find it difficult to track GitHub in all of the noise of notifications -- emails, UI notifications, etc. Axolo simplifies this -- new channels created for each PR I'm added to, which shows up in the default section of Slack, so I always know if it's a new PR. Then, I can quickly jump into the PR for a deep review and then follow up conversations directly in Slack once I have context. I pretty much use it multiple times a day to do my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

Ancient PRs that are closed sometimes don't automatically archive (ie. 6 + months old). I would like a way to specify a section for all my PR channels to go to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

All the noise of notifications goes away. I don't get GitHub emails anymore or little red dots in the UI, so I can focus on other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Axolo?

I've been getting eyes on my MRs so much quicker since starting to use Axolo and as an infrequent email checker, can easily see a Slack notification when I've been tagged in an MR. I absolutely love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

I don't love how I'm not sure if the people I'm tagging in my MRs are current users of Axolo. Although I can generally tell when I don't get feedback from someone for a day or two that they are likely not using Axolo.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

When working with developers, who often have their heads down and are laser focused on other tasks, it can be difficult to get eyes on code that I need reviewed. Often after waiting a day or two I'd have to tag all of my reviewers in a Slack message and poke them to get someone on my MR. Now that I'm using Axolo I'm confident they're getting the notifications without feeling like I'm being impatient or pestering anyone. Also much easier to read notes left via Axolo vs trying to locate in an MR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Axolo?

Axolo has become such a core part of my reviewing workflow that I'm never going back. Installing it is a two click process, and the product just does what it should do, without annoying extra features you can't disable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

I've been using Axolo for several months now, and so far there's nothing that's been causing issues. It's been simple, fast and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Built in notifications on github pull requests are slow and email based, which makes review rounds much slower than they need to be. Axolo speeds up everything, and makes the review process much more transparent to the rest of the team. Slack is where communication happens anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Axolo?

I love seeing new PRs submitted by teammates and dedicated Slack channels for PRs I'm working on / am assigned to. Super intuitive to respond in Slack and "just works" mirroring over to Github and back to Slack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

None that I can think of tbh. Free tier is pretty generous with 50 free open PRs and fits most of our teams needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Giving visibility into teammates work and progress against PRs, without having to fish around in Github to see everything. Just shows up in Slack, exactly the way I want it to show up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't ran into any real negatives yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Axolo?

Channel creation, rename, and archive are the best three things. Comment syncing is great. We set it up only from GH to Slack so that you get GH updates in Slack but you can still chat in Slack without creating a thousands comment in GitHub.

We use it every day multiple times a day. Easy to setup in Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

Sometimes is hard to understand where messages are coming from. It would be nice to have a different name when syncing messages both ways Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Seeing open PRs in Slack and having a place to chat about those PRs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a better way to nest the PR channels in a specific Slack folder Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Axolo?

Create Slack channels automatically for each PR created. This helps when you should check dozens of PRs by sprint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Axolo?

There is not something that I don't like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Axolo solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my team, we create at least 20 PRs per sprint. Since integrating Axolo, the review workflows have become much more streamlined and have followed a more natural order regarding communication within GitHub. This is because Axolo automatically synchronizes with Slack, making collaboration more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
