⚡ The Middleware Difference

Lead teams by data, not intuition

From Data Overload to Clarity of Action

Swarmia’s approach often inundates teams with metrics, leaving it up to them to figure out what’s actionable.

Middleware does the heavy lifting by highlighting key bottlenecks and recommending specific steps to improve. It’s not just about knowing where you are - it’s about knowing where to go next.

A Tool for Champions, Not Just Buyers

Adoption isn’t just about tracking metrics - it’s about delivering real value across your organization.

Swarmia focuses on metrics like DORA and PR data, which can help teams get started. But once managers grasp the basics, the tool often falls short, and adoption stalls.

Middleware takes it further. It provides end-to-end visibility into software delivery flow, aligns it with business outcomes, and identifies real bottlenecks - like excessive ad-hoc work, QA delays, or blockers in design, development, or deployment stages.

Delivering Outcomes, Not Just Metrics

Metrics are a means to an end, not the end itself.

Middleware focuses on what ultimately matters: improving delivery speed, reducing cycle times, and ensuring smooth handoffs.

Unlike Swarmia, where teams can get lost in dashboards, Middleware lets your teams focus on what they do best - delivering results.

Data That Speaks Your Language

Your challenges likely include inefficiency in delivery processes and the complexity of managing large teams.

Middleware addresses these head-on by:

‣ Identifying inefficiencies that lead to delays.
‣ Preventing cognitive overload with a streamlined interface.
‣ Ensuring transformation efforts are actionable and aligned across teams.
‣ Automations that keep your team informed without unnecessary distractions when delays or jitter exceed process guardrails.

Licensing Cost

At the same price point, do you want to just start with anything in front of you or start a real change initiative?

💬 Testimonials

What Delivery Leaders Feel About Middleware

  • Middleware enabled tracking of sprint health, performance & growth

    Our team has gotten healthier and more collaborative than ever before. It’s just been absolutely fantastic. The team at Middleware is always around, always available, I don’t know when they sleep.

    Kris Chase

    VP Engineering

  • Something we couldn’t get with other tools

    Middleware has very robust data reports for both Jira and Github which is something we had trouble finding with other tools. 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.

    Marisa Bernstein

    Technical Project Manager

  • The visibility into our processes we wanted

    Our aha moment was when we could really see how long each story point actually took our team. The time saved now can be used to make our developers more productive by working closely with them.

    Madanlal Arora

    AVP Engineering

  • Jellyfish never clicked for me

    Even with all that runway of maturity that they’ve developed, it wasn’t solving the problems. I didn’t like it. Middleware, on the other hand, felt like it was built exactly for me. I’ve tried Jira, GitHub, spreadsheets — everything. Middleware is what finally gave me my Fridays back.
