I like how Forecast is intuitive, fast and most importantly, fun to use. When completing tasks, you get an avatar popping up telling you great job which is fund.
Not usable on mobile devices, and disappointed by the aggressive upselling and hidden cancellation terms.
Working with Forecast has been absolutely delightful. Inga our support / account manager is so good at explaining and getting more out of Forecast.
Overall the product is somewhat immature, not usable on mobile, their sales tactics are overly aggressive, and they make cancellation difficult.
Forecast's customer support is one of the best I have ever had to work with. Second would be the ease of use for staff to help plan out projects and timelines.
Cannot define Project Stage by user. Same set of Labels are commonly used in different fields, causing users hard to choose, and the labels become meaningless.
I like that it is very easy to use and has helped me to organize better my time and have knowledge of where my hours are being allocated.
Some display issues at times, have had some challenges with time entry (data disappeared).
The software is really easy to use - and very friendly to the eyes and mind. I love using the Gantt-chart option when setting up projects, to keep a nice overview of the status of a project.
Notifications or follow up requests can get lost after read and can be difficult to find.
The ability to provide reviews in app and establish approval flows is awesome. Additionally, the template design is robust and allows you to quickly form a project plan.
That renders HIVE e-mail integration about useless if you get a lot of e-mails with attachments. For me Hive is a no go for that reason.
Great reporting facility. High fives are a great way to show appreciation to your colleagues.
Also, i have noticed that when people send images on chats or groups they never load, so i have to close the software down and reload it to be able to see them, which is a pain.
Hive has been a great help managing sales orders, manufacturing processes, quality inspections right down to shipments.
The chat constantly messed up and either didn't show messages or just didn't notify me.
Nate: My name is Nate. I am the senior content strategy manager at my workplace. I work in the education industry, and I would give Hive a rating of five. We use Hive day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. It's a integral part of our overall office's project management. It is where all the projects live and are created and managed on timelines. We also utilize the chat features to coordinate with each other especially in a remote and virtual environment like it is now. We really lean on Hive to both stay on task and to connect and make sure everything is running smoothly. The thing I love most about Hive is the chat integration. Some other companies will leverage things like integrating into Slack and things like that. But Hive has its own embedded chat function within the platform. It's been super helpful to have all of our chats both in there and have people feel like they're a little bit more accessible and easy to reach through the chat function. We can do individual chats, group chats, multiple layers of group chats. It makes it really easy to stay on top of different groups, different projects, and be able to message back and forth in a more minute by minute response. The thing I dislike about Hive, it is a relatively newer tool. There is a lot of optimization efforts that are going in. Because of that, there have been bugs when new updates roll out. Nothing that has significantly impacted our workflows, but there has been times where the app or the platform itself will be down for a little bit of time. But usually the developers are working pretty hard to have that back up and running. It's all in light of optimizing and making a better product. Just kind of the growing pains of becoming a more larger player in that overall project management system and software. But something that we are definitely okay living with as long as they keep optimizing.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
