What do you like best about Middleware?

Working with JIRA, GitHhub, with MiddlewareHQ we can get different metrics without getting into manual reports.It's really easy to get all the metrics for internal meetings.

Great tool to have the performance of the team, JIRA requires a lot of namual filters to get the data, however i can directly get the summary about the bottlenecks.

It gets easier to measure goals that change every quarter for us. Earlier i used to work with Google sheets, Excel, Charts but now with Middleware, everything is available in one tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Middleware?

Our organization was excited to partner with Middleware since they have very robust data reports for both Jira and Github which is something we had trouble finding with other tools that tended to favor one over the other. With Middleware, we are able to get a more hollistic view of how well our teams are performing and identify gaps and bottlenecks that need to be addressed. Outside of the tool itself, the team has been absolutely amazing in helping us get everything setup and they are always available to answer our questions or try to figure out how we can solve a problem using their platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Middleware?

No major dislikes to mention at the moment. We are working with them on possibly getting additional data points like Sprint over Sprint trends and defect ratio which will be a nice addition to what is already available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We want to empower our teams to take ownership of their efficiency and productivity and Middleware is a fantastic tool at identifying what areas teams are excelling at and what areas could use some improvement. Having data to support process changes is always more beneficial and allows us to incrementally improve in a meaningful way instead of just trying new things for the sake of trying new things.
