The best Swarmia alternative
AnalyticsVerse vs. Swarmia
Swarmia believes in healthy metrics and tries its best to not offend anyone. We believe in healthy engineering cultures of continuous improvement.
However, one thing we have in common is the ability to take action after looking at metrics. Where Swarmia stops at working agreements, we help you with benchmarks, recommendations, goals & actions that drive team engagement and real process improvements.

Why choose AnalyticsVerse?
Developer Productivity using SPACE metrics
We know developer productivity is difficult to capture but we don’t shy away from it. AnalyticsVerse is the only platform that helps you capture developer productivity metrics across all five dimensions of the SPACE framework.
Integrations and Platform Capabilities
Limited Git integrations and missing dimensions like sprint summary reports, reworking indicators, delivery risks, role-based access control, and custom dashboards make Swarmia a platform with a lot of limitations which doesn’t exist on AnalyticsVerse.
Benchmarks, Recommendations & Goals
With AnalyticsVerse you can go above Swarmia’s working agreements, by benchmarking your processes, getting customized recommendations, and setting up goals and actions linked to process improvements to truly drive process transformation.
Trusted by 400+ high-performing engineering teams
1. Best for Process Transformation
Working agreements are good, but they are just one piece of the process transformation puzzle. AnalyticsVerse provides process benchmarks, recommends targeted process improvements, and enables you to set goals and actions to achieve them, all while engaging your team.
Benchmark your Process metrics
Metrics become actionable when benchmarks add the context of good and bad. AnalyticsVerse helps you look at benchmarks across planning, development, code review, build, deployment cycles, and team dynamics to understand your strengths and identify areas of improvement that are completely missing from Swarmia.
Know More Goals tracking
AnalyticsVerse allows you to track goals and set targets for your teams, giving you the power to steer improvement and measure progress.
Know More Gamifying the process
Swarmia says all leaderboards are unhealthy for dev teams. We don’t believe so, a healthy competition amongst development teams is necessary to drive a momentum of change. AnalyticsVerse enables you to set monthly leaderboards on process metrics which help you drive team engagement and consequently transformation.
Team education and success
AnalyticsVerse is more than a platform, we are your best partner in the transformation journey. And we know it takes more than just introducing a new tool to your team to see results. We assist you on all fronts by educating your team about the “why”, and driving engagement and adoption across your organization.
2. Developer Productivity is not a Taboo
We know how difficult it is to truly capture developer productivity, but we don’t shy away from it and don’t believe measures that indicate individual productivity are taboo. AnalyticsVerse is the only platform that helps you capture developer productivity metrics across all five dimensions of the SPACE framework.
SPACE Framework
Only looking at activity streams of tasks and pull requests is not developer productivity. Unlike Swarmia, AnalyticsVerse enables you to look at all five dimensions (Satisfaction, Performance, Activity, Communication, and Efficiency) of the SPACE framework which captures productivity in the truest sense possible.
Developer’s health
Engineering surveys are useful for retrospection and gauging team sentiment, but they're not the most effective tool for monitoring team health. You can’t run a survey every week to understand your team’s health. Instead, AnalyticsVerse provides early indicators, such as overworked hours and developer engagement in team activities, allowing you to identify issues before they escalate and long before they appear in surveys.
Developer 360°
Don't let goals be a leadership only secret. Get your teams buy-in and enable them to track their own progress.
Collaboration trends
AnalyticsVerse helps you identify knowledge silos and communication bottlenecks in your team by showing you patterns of how swiftly your team collaborates and how well knowledge and workloads are distributed within your team which is missing from Swarmia.

3. Swarmia's Platform Limitations
AnalyticsVerse’s flexibility to integrate with all major Git providers, ability to configure value streams, create custom dashboards, and ability to define and assign custom roles to your team members makes it the best alternative to Swarmia.
Git Integrations
If you use GitLab, BitBucket, or Azure DevOps repos as your Git provider then Swarmia is not for you. AnalyticsVerse supports all its features across all major git providers including GitHub which is the only one Swarmia supports.
Know More Define value streams
Often product streams, and services are being worked upon by multiple teams in an org, and only a group of developers represented as team members cannot accurately capture insights about your value streams. Unlike Swarmia, AnalyticsVerse enables you to both define your value streams and a group of developers as teams to capture insights accurately.
Role-based access control
Swarmia allows you to add team members only either as Admin or Members (non-admin). Whereas AnalyticsVerse comes with four levels of default roles with the ability to create your own custom roles to give only the required access to all your team members.
Custom Dashboards
AnalyticsVerse allows you to create dashboards and visualizations by grouping and splitting engineering metrics across teams, periods, and developers to help you create and share dashboards with your team.
4. Sprints and other Missing Dimensions
”One step at a time” translates to “One sprint at a time” for engineering improvements. Fundamental to seeing progress over time is incremental small improvements. Swarmia fails to help you understand sprint performance and other dimensions of metrics that AnalyticsVerse can help you measure.
Sprint Summary Reports
We have the best JIRA integration that helps you go above a list of tickets and activity bubbles. By looking at a comprehensive sprint summary report, you can measure key parameters such as predictability, efficiency, and throughput, along with also identifying anomalies in your team’s sprint performance.
Rework
AnalyticsVerse has this ideology difference from Swarmia, where we do believe rework indicators help you identify improvement opportunities. Incremental development and an acceptable range of rework are something all development teams face, but a higher number of iterations and code churn to deliver are strong indicators of requirements or communication or skill gaps in your development process.
Development Best Practices
We help you look at metrics that indicate the maturity of your development process like linking of commits to tickets, small pull request size, planning efficiency, and un-reviewed commits to establish engineering best practices that are missing from Swarmia.
Project Risks
Unlike Swarmia, AnalyticsVerse proactively indicates risks that can affect your deliveries, team health, and system performance. Risks like pending pull requests, un-reviewed commits, higher bugs, blocked developers, and skewed knowledge distribution help you take proactive action.
5. Pricing
Swarmia’s elite plan ~$42 per dev per month is more than 2x AnalyticsVerse’s pro plan which is priced at $19 per dev per month.
