Hive vs Kanbanchi: Which is a better fit?

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.
