Design Engineering Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hive improves collaboration and project management" November 28, 2023 4.0 The platform has transformed the way my team collaborates and manages projects. The intuitive interface, coupled with powerful project planning features, has significantly improved our efficiency and productivity. Pros Hive has become an indispensable tool in my daily workflow, and its best feature, in my opinion, is the seamless integration of project management and collaboration tools. The ability to centralize communication, task management, and file sharing in one platform has significantly enhanced team collaboration and efficiency. Cons The mobile app experience could use some improvement. The app is functional, but it lacks some of the features available in the desktop version. Enhancing the mobile app's capabilities would be beneficial for users who need to manage tasks and collaborate while on the go. Switched from [Zoho Projects](https://www.capterra.com/p/169455/Zoho-Projects/)[Adobe Workfront](https://www.capterra.com/p/268205/Adobe-Workfront/) Hive's user-friendly interface and the ability to handle complex projects with ease were decisive factors in making the switch. The platform's commitment to continuous improvement and the responsive customer support further solidified my choice in favor of Hive for effective project management and team collaboration.

Chief information officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best project management software" February 22, 2024 5.0 I think Hive is a great project management tool that offers many features and benefits for users. Pros It has a smart analytics feature that allows users to track their progress, performance, and productivity, and get insights and recommendations from machine learning. Cons The task dependencies feature is not available or not working properly. Users cannot create dependent tasks or link tasks to each other.

Marketing coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Desktop works great, complications with phone " August 27, 2024 3.0 The platform is great in assigning tasks to team member to keep everyone on track however the desktop and mobile app does not work seamlessly with bugs through the phone platform Pros It’s easy and simple to assign tasks to team members to ensure everyone stays on track Cons The mobile app is laggy and does not seamlessly work with the desktop Review Source Stephen Brent M. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The project management product we were looking for" March 19, 2020 4.0 Pros We looked at and tested several project management options and had used several in the past. Hive was never on our radar and unfortunately isn't as well known, but we discovered it through the WeWork employee portal and gave it a try. The set up was simple, it offered flexibility in terms of how you view and sort projects. It also allowed us to add external users without paying for a seat. This was extremely important because we want our clients to have access to our project boards, but we don't need full functionality for them. While it wasn't available when we first started using it, the addition of time tracking was a huge bonus for us as an agency, and Hive continues to impress us by adding additional features and functionality. When it comes to support, they are extremely responsive and in the rare times we have had to utilize support, issues have been resolved to satusfaction. Cons I wish there was a native integration with HubSpot, but we're able to get around that with Zapier. Alternatives considered [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Hive Part of the reason was that they offered a discount to companies that worked at a WeWork location, but it was also easy to set up and use during the trial period. Switched from [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Asana did not offer pricing for less than 5 users and at the time, we only needed 2-3. We needed the additional functionality that came with the paid version but couldn't justify paying for seats that were going to go unused for an undetermined amount of time. Review Source Brandon E. Sales Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ideal for cooperation on internal and external projects" September 11, 2023 4.0 Team members should be able to talk to each other right away. As a company, we rely heavily on phone contacts with consumers, therefore when problems arise, staff members need to be able to get down to the bottom of things without having to start another call. While on the phone with a customer, we may effortlessly converse thanks to this service. Pros It's incredibly straightforward, yet packed with flexible features. handling projects as a manager. Assigning work to team members, keeping tabs on their progress, etc. Cons The only drawback thus far is the cost. Although it is not the cheapest service we have used, it has everything we need to keep our projects on schedule and working smoothly. Switched from [Nifty](https://www.capterra.com/p/172519/Nifty/)[Scoro](https://www.capterra.com/p/142042/Scoro/) We've adopted Hive as our primary project management application because it provides greater transparency and efficiency than other PM products while still being easy to learn and use. Review Source Courtney S. System Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Communication, Deadlines and Task assignments" December 26, 2022 4.0 It's a useful tool for keeping track of everything you have to do. A fantastic platform that prioritizes its users by offering low-code alternatives for constructing automated forms and other labor-saving features. More people will use the software, and it will be more adaptable. Pros It was a helpful resource for organizing our work. The platform's emphasis on its users contributes to its widespread popularity and adaptability. Low-code form and automation possibilities on a fantastic platform for streamlining our operations. However, reporting at the corporate level has received scant consideration. Cons There's room for improvement in the price system. For instance, regardless of the size of your team, you're limited to 500 automations, regardless of how many seats you buy. The gap between one level of service and the next is fairly wide, making the decision to upgrade a major one. Switched from [Birdview](https://www.capterra.com/p/232375/Birdview/) We were able to better coordinate our efforts thanks to this. Task management challenges might arise when team members are spread out geographically and/or have inconsistent availability. Review Source Saskia M. Senior Director Sales Marketing Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Benefits project managers greatly" August 28, 2023 5.0 Our company's leaders now get a bird's-eye perspective of all ongoing work thanks to Hive. Using this technology has helped us streamline our processes, which has resulted in better projects completed faster. By consistently utilizing Hive, we drastically reduce the likelihood that a client's inquiry or a project's progress would be overlooked. Pros The visual interface is intuitive. Our Marketing team can benefit from using the proofreading tool. By streamlining the approval process, it shortened the time it took to complete our projects. Anxious users will like the "my actions" tab's streamlined perspective. It's great that any member of our team may serve as the project manager for their respective tasks. Cons I'd like it if the statuses could be modified to suit individual needs rather than coming prepopulated, or if the option to delete the default statuses was available. Switched from [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/)[Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/) In addition to being straightforward for the average user, the platform's administrative assistance is first-rate. Even more so, Brian Holthouse! Rapid response time and an abundance of information! Review Source Jessica D. Game Programmer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very smooth design and perfect for remote coworkers" March 8, 2023 5.0 Our marketing team used Hive to organize a special, multi-week initiative. As a company with employees spread across the country, we needed a way for everyone to feel as though they were working side by side in the same room at all times. Pros Hive is used for both microtask management and internal team communication. This facilitates systematic documentation of all open tasks in accordance with PMI's best practices. Cons The task cards can only hold text, hence we can't attach any necessary files to them. The main barrier is oversharing with third-party suppliers outside of the company. Switched from [Miro](https://www.capterra.com/p/128955/Miro/)[Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) Given the modest size of our team, I find it much easier to use Hive to keep track of the tasks allocated to all of my delegates and to report daily progress to the executive team. Review Source Sarah H. System Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hive is a fantastic team project management tool" February 14, 2023 4.0 Hive is an excellent piece of project management software for groups whose members come from different industries or departments and don't use the same methodologies. Due to its adaptability and user-specific perspectives, it is well-suited to recording a wide range of information pertaining to teams and their projects. Pros Hive is revolutionary computer program. I am really impressed by what the development team has accomplished with this program: The learning curve is minimal, it offers beautiful Gantt and Kanban views, instant messaging for collaboration, the ability to add comments to tasks and projects, and a fantastic focus mode. Cons There are only a few functions I've seen in other programs that I wish this one had: The ability to specify task progress percentages, partially conceal Kanban columns, and set rules for each column. Switched from [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Because using Hive, we're able to see the big picture of our projects and keep things organized for more efficient activity execution, both of which have boosted our company's productivity.

Director Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Definitely recommend" May 16, 2025 5.0 Nothing but positive, from set up to use, helped to save bills Pros Ease of use and flexibility is excellent, no problems ever since installing Cons Cant think of anything that is negative about, all positive so far Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Content Creator Investment Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Project Management at It's Finest" April 8, 2025 5.0 Pros Hive is an officiant way to compile all your projects and tasks into one easy workflow. Cons There's nothing in particular that I dislike about Hive. Review Source DO Donald O. Executive Technical Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Game Changer PPM Program" July 2, 2024 4.0 Project, task and resource management. Team collaboration and document storage. Pros Hive allows me to manage projects, tasks and resources automatically. Document storage is another added advantage about this tool. Cons Unavailability of on-premise platforms for mobile and desktop is the only issue with Hive. Review Source Nate H. Senior Content Strategy Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hive Keeps Us Organized" December 3, 2020 5.0 Very satisfied and very positive! If you need a project management tool I would 100% recommend Hive. If you have a management tool and are also using a chat app like google hangouts or Slack I'd make the switch to house it all in one place. Pros Besides the obvious project management features that Hive excels at and that our team uses daily, the biggest gamechanger (and one I didn't expect when we launched Hive to be so impactful) is the chat function. For companies or groups who employ other apps like Slack, Hive offers a more streamlined place to hold all of your conversations in the same platform you manage and keep track of your work. It's been a huge boost for our team to have group and individual chats. Cons Hive is still making changes and updates to its platform. This is typically a benefit as we appreciate working with a platform that is always seeking to optimize and improve. However there has been a few bugs due to updates that have limited access into the platform for a small amount of time (less than an hour). The issue is usually resolved quickly but it does set us back if and when it happens. Review Source Response from Hive Technology March 12, 2021 Thanks for your great review, Nate! We're happy to hear you enjoy using Hive. We are always working to improve the platform and launch new features with minimal impact on our users. Your feedback is appreciated and will be passed along to the product team. Thanks for being a part of the Hive family! SB Sudhir B. Planning Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An effective collaborative tool for managing projects and tasks in detail" June 21, 2022 4.0 As a result of Hive's unique workflow planning and management software suite, the team was able to keep track of all the details and monitor all the tasks, as well as raise the attention on due dates and priorities by each team member and clients on a regular basis. Pros Hive allows the development of the team's capabilities to follow up on all projects on one system, as it provides us with enough flexibility to display different information in detail about all our projects independently or at once. Hive, through its capabilities to promote effective communication between team members, enables them to be familiar with all the details of workflow plans and also all the requirements of different tasks. I like in Hive the ease of preparing work schedules, and also the automatic update of the start and end dates of activities, and it is equipped with several views, enabling you to get a distinct view of work programs. Hive enables you through the project dashboard to know all the information you need, and also for each member of the team to know the tasks to be followed up and the dates for closing them. Cons Not a lot of complications, Hive is very easy to use and all members can do their jobs directly through it. I just find that Hive needs more automation, especially with regard to updating the start and end dates of missions, also some improvements must be added with regard to search options, because in the current situation we cannot reach accurate results. Review Source Response from Hive Technology September 22, 2022 Thank you for leaving us a review, Sudhir! We are so glad Hive keeps your team organized and on task. Cheers! VR Verified Reviewer Delivery Lead Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for workflow/project management" February 21, 2022 4.0 We use Hive as our primary workflow management tools (for the client account I'm currently working with) - it helps us track ongoing projects for all the members of the team with real time updates on the progress. It becomes quite efficient to track and manage deadlines. Pros It lets you create subtasks within each task head that allows for better tracking of the progress on the project and also makes it more streamlined. This makes it super to easy to manage your ongoing projects and deadlines. I can just add a comment at the end of each day under the respective project heads that allows my team team/ manager to stay updated on the status of the project without the need for constant follow ups. Cons I usually have multiple projects lined up sequentially one after the other each with an independent start/end date. However, if there is a delay on one project for any reason - each of the following projec dates need to be edited and moved individually which can be quite frustrating. Would really appreciate there being an option to move all the project deadlines in one go. Review Source Response from Hive Technology March 1, 2022 Thank you for the review! We are happy to hear that Hive helps your team organize projects and deadlines. Making sure teams work more efficiently is our priority. Cheers! AQ Arianna Q. Multimedia Specialist Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hive: always improving" November 20, 2023 5.0 The customizable workflows and detailed analytics have been instrumental in enhancing our productivity and achieving our goals. Highly recommend for any organization looking to streamline project management!" Pros Hive has revolutionized our project management at the non-profit organization where I work. With its intuitive interface and collaborative features, our team can efficiently coordinate tasks and stay on top of deadlines. Cons In using Hive for project management, one drawback I encountered was a steeper learning curve for team members unfamiliar with the platform. The interface, while feature-rich, may require additional training for new users to fully grasp its capabilities, potentially slowing down the onboarding process. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Search lead Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The tool has a lot of features but not very intuitive to use" October 14, 2023 3.0 The tool seemed liked it had it all for managing the whole operations of my function but once started using it I ended up giving up on features like time tracking and ended up using sheets for simplicity and efficiency. Once a feature fails to deliver because of how complex it is, the whole project team ends up parting with the whole platform. I would suggest reworking the entire platform unless the aim is to keep it for dedicated project managers and not function leads that want a tool that is much easier to keep the ball rolling while adding efficiency to their function Pros A lot of project and team management features including time and progress tracking Cons Not very easy to use and setting up the time tracking feature requires a lot of time and work Review Source JG Jeff G. Director of Brand Development Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Great Tool For An Old Dog Who's Still Learning New Tricks" March 24, 2020 5.0 All jobs are run through Hive so we solve all our team productivity, scheduling and asset sharing (not final assets but briefs, notes, schedules, background documents, comps, etc) through the tool. We do not currently use the tool for client interaction, sharing or as an approval mechanism although we would like to. Pros I very much like the ablility to integrate IM, email and the productivity capabilities into one tool. It's a fantastic way to keep a 360-degree record of every job. Cons I do find that there is a huge learning curve for someone like me. I've been in this business for a long time but have always relied on others in supporting roles like traffic and production. Working for a small company where I am now responsible for everything from strategy to implementation and project management is a big challenge in and of itself. But learning the software on top of that does take time. It's not necessarily intuitive for someone like me that hasn't used other productivity software. Finding help and instructional videos to help me learn the basics and progress is somewhat difficult. I find myself spending lots of time sifting through the blog, doing Google and YouTube searches and reaching out through he tool's chat capability (often times it takes several hours to get a response). I wish there was a channel with all the videos that were well organized into a series of tutorials that would get you up and running quickly. I do a lot of trial and error and "learn by doing" on the platform. Again, because I'm a newbie, I suspect that would be the same no matter which tool I was using and probably isn't an issue for my younger, software native, brethren. Review Source SF Shane F. Content Team Lead Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Best Workflow and Product Management Software We've Found" August 20, 2021 5.0 Pros After trying 3 or more programs for workflow and product management, none of them have the sophistication and intuitive features that Hive does. It has helped our project management and workflow process tremendously! Cons Because Hive offers such in-depth customization, it can be difficult to set everything up to run at maximum efficiency. We have a person in our company that was able to put everything together in such a way that made everything run very smoothly. So it may be a little difficult to set up to your needs, but once it's there your productivity will soar. Review Source Response from Hive Technology September 14, 2021 Thank you for this kind review, Shane! We are so happy to have you as part of the Hive community.

It is so great to go through the rundown of projects and see how they are all coming along. Thanks for making such a great piece of software! Pros We have a very large team and Hive helps our team stay connected on all of our projects in all different groups. It really keeps us organized and on time. Cons There is alot to cover with hive. The team has been helpful with our implementation. I wish that hive could connect with our calendars so that a due date and time can be seen on my calendar on my iphone. That is the one thing we have not yet figured out. Review Source Response from Hive Technology March 12, 2021 Thanks for your great review, Lee! We love hearing that Hive helps your large team stay connected and organized. We're happy to have you on the Hive team! VR Verified Reviewer CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "best tool for management projects" June 24, 2022 4.0 my overall experience with the hive is that it is profitable Pros What I like about this tool is that it helps to see the weaknesses of our company in terms of management and helps us to improve them. Cons what I would like to see again in hive is that the mobile application is full of few features compared to the computer one Review Source Response from Hive Technology September 22, 2022 Thank you for the review! It's awesome to hear how Hive helps your team. Cheers! AM Atendi M. IT Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why Hive is a Must Have For Workflow Management " February 1, 2024 5.0 Pros First, I like the workflow management features of Hive It comes with project planing and makes remote work easy It comes with task and project management features. Cons Hive offers all we need for workflow management and no dislikes. Review Source Mark V. Partner Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hive Works!" December 28, 2018 4.0 As I mentioned above, working remotely can be difficult but I've been able to stay connected to my business partners using this software. Pros I like the fact that it consolidates the functionality of Slack, Trello and other project management software packages into one. I work remotely and it's easy to stay in touch with other members of the team on a minute-to-minute basis. Cons I can't get it to work reliably on my iPhone, despite updating it regularly. I have an older phone (5s) because I just like to have a smaller phone to carry. Soon this needs to change, but for now if I get notifications from Hive I have to find a place to pull up my laptop. Review Source HH Hannah H. market research analyst Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hive is a much needed resource during remote work and continues to improve!" November 17, 2020 4.0 Project management and in-house (only) team communication. Pros The chat function is HUGE for keeping our team connected while we are apart. We use it every day. I also love the "my actions" view because it keeps everything organized for me and I can stay on track and on time while juggling many different projects at once. Hive takes our feedback and makes improvements in a timely manner. I would recommend this product and it will just keep getting better! Cons I think "my actions" should automatically sort by the next due date at the top (the closest date). Instead, you have to manually adjust the order of tasks by due date, which is a little tedious. Maybe you could offer both options? Manual and auto. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Hive is a very good Project Management software tool, only lacking on budget / reporting." August 4, 2019 4.0 Hive is a good project management tool when you focus on the projects. If you want to track the budget along with the project progress, it is lacking several features that would make that possible. Pros Hive allows for a few different method of project management for both agile and waterfall projects. It has built in time tracking and you can invite clients without having to pay a fee for them to be in your system. The forecasting tools are helpful and has most of everything you would expect to see in a project management system. Cons There are two things missing from this software that would make it a great tool. The first of which is an individual users task list that can be prioritized. Each of our employees wants to see what they are responsible for across all projects and then set priority without having to use a separate program (like Asana). Also, Hive does not do much to address the budgeting side of project management, so there is not a lot of insight to how the budget is being used or reporting back to the client on budget over time of the project, let alone any type of portfolio management.
