Pros I like the built in Ai assistant feature which is helpful and the project management features such as assigning tasks to team members Cons The Hives mobile version is still laggy not seamless, having limitations in comparison to the desktop version. Review Source Basel E. IT Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Simple and effective project management tool" June 26, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Hive has been positive. It is a useful tool for project management, task tracking, and team collaboration. It helps keep work organized and makes it easier to follow progress without constantly needing to ask for updates. Once the workspace is set up properly, it becomes a solid tool for managing day-to-day work and larger projects. Pros What I liked most about Hive is how simple it makes it to manage projects and keep tasks organized. The layout is clean, and it is easy to see what needs to be done, who is responsible for it, and where things stand. I also liked the different views, like calendar, table, and Kanban, because they make it easier to work in the format that fits the project best. Cons What I liked least about Hive is that some parts can take a bit of time to get used to, especially when setting up projects, notifications, and workflows. It is not difficult to use, but there are enough features that you need to spend some time adjusting it so it works properly for your team. Review Source Allison L. Project Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Value and Effective Team Collaboration" June 10, 2026 5.0 Hive provides good VALUE FOR MONEY by combining project management and collaboration tools in one platform.

Its Email Notifications help keep teams informed about updates, tasks, and deadlines, making collaboration more efficient. Pros What I like most about Hive is its ability to bring project management, team collaboration, and workflow tracking into a single platform. It helps teams stay organized by keeping tasks, deadlines, files, and conversations all in one place. Cons There aren’t any cons about Hive.

Data Scientist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Easy and Useful Tool for Managing Projects" February 25, 2026 4.0 Overall, I've had a good experience with Hive. It makes it easy and quick to handle tasks and talk to my team. It helps keep track of due dates, check on progress, and work better together. There is a slight learning curve at first, but once i get the hang of it, it works great. If i searching for a dependable way to handle projects, I suggest Hive. Pros The interface of Hive is clear and easy to use and The task management system is highly well organized and has useful views like Kanban, Gantt, and Calendar. It's easy for the team to work together and talk to each other because everything is in one spot. It saves time and makes work more productive. In general, it is a good deal. Cons When working on big projects, the platform can sometimes feel a little slow. At first, new users have to learn a little bit. i can only get some sophisticated features in plans that cost more. Sometimes, small faults or glitches might make things not go as smoothly.

I dislike the amount of bugs. Pros I enjoy using this app with my team. It makes it easy to manage files and tasks between coworkers. Good app. Cons I least like the amount of bugs the app has. It is hard to use this app because of it. They need to fix it. Review Source Daniel A. Digital Content Creator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Project Management Made Easy" December 1, 2025 4.0 Overall, I've really enjoyed using Hive to manage our internal projects. It's easy to manage users across various projects without making things confusing. Pros I like how easy it was to set up form integrations for use with our ticketing system. Users easily submit tickets that filter into our Hive project load. Cons The thing I like least about Hive is the web browser experience. It tends to time out quite frequently and can be laggy at times. Review Source Marcelo L. employ 4.5 November 5, 2026 AI summary based on a full review This tool centralizes communication and resource management, which helps reduce confusion and saves time by keeping all discussions and approvals linked to action cards.

Founder Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "The project management product we were looking for" March 21, 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. Review Source R Reviewer Chief information officer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "The best project management software" April 24, 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. Review Source R Reviewer Head of Strategic Visualisation Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A potentially powerful tool crippled by poor and inconsistent UI" July 2, 2024 2.0 An unmitigated horror story of misery and despair. Completely unsuitable for managing multiple complex jobs with many moving parts. A very poor piece of software for granular time management. It has lots of potentially good features but they are all so badly and confusingly designed. It could potentially be very useful and powerful but they need to completely revamp their UI design philosophy to make it easy and consistent. It feels very outdated and not well joined up. Pros They have a very good support team and the project gantt charts are useful. Cons The UI is unbelievably poorly designed with lots of inconsistencies and everything takes more clicks and time than it should. It is incredibly inaccessible for the neurodiverse because of it's poor design. It takes a long time to learn and is quite glitchy. I frequently encounter problems and it is difficult to work out whether each problem is due to a Hive glitch or a user error because of the poor UI. It's a total time sink and makes me want to quit my job. Review Source R Reviewer Sales Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Ideal for cooperation on internal and external projects" September 12, 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. Review Source R Reviewer System Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Communication, Deadlines and Task assignments" January 4, 2023 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. Review Source R Reviewer Senior Director Sales Marketing Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Benefits project managers greatly" August 29, 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. Review Source Jessica D. Game Programmer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Very smooth design and perfect for remote coworkers" March 10, 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. Review Source Sarah H. System Administrator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Hive is a fantastic team project management tool" February 15, 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. Review Source R Reviewer Attorney Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Under the radar project and task management system." December 4, 2023 4.0 We were looking for an affordable solution for our project management and we found it in hive. It does "almost" everything we need and we use it on a weekly basis. It helps us keep track of each item that needs to be handled in a particular file. Pros It was pretty simple to onboard our team and also simple to create a workflow system. Cons I think we need a more robust notification system to keep track of project tasks. Review Source R Reviewer Project Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "The Only Project Management Software with the Features I need" August 28, 2019 5.0 Pros Hive is the only project management software that is cloud collaborative, has infinite sub tasks, and Gantt charts so it was an easy choice. Also it is not Microsoft Project so I don't have to deal with their insane billing methods. Chatting inside tasks or letting task owners turn sub tasks into their own projects is great. Everyone can keep up with who is working on what and who needs help or what is holding up the project. Sign in and billing is super easy. Support is extremely reactive when I have questions. There is a bunch of stats on task completion that I don't use, but look useful. Cons The mobile app has significantly reduced functionality compared to desktop. Review Source GR Graeme R. Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Definitely recommend" May 19, 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 R Reviewer Program Admin Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good for project planning" May 6, 2025 4.0 Relatively positive with some slight issues, overall it was great for the team to use all at once Pros Hive made it easy to communicate with teams about various projects in one place with little to no effort Cons Hive at times felt limited in its options for specificity and it was hard to navigate the UI Review Source R Reviewer Chief Executive Director Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Quality Project Management Tool" May 14, 2024 5.0 It life changing because it has simplified tasks for me. Pros It has made assigning of tasks easy and management tasks simple. It has simplified our office duties. Cons Their is no kind of dislike that I found. Review Source Grace A. Digital Marketing Analyst Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "It is worth a try." March 7, 2022 4.0 For basic or complex project management it is robust enough in terms of tools and flexibility. It has many functions and the established tasks are accomplished in shorter time frames. Pros It is easy to access as it is compatible with a variety of operating systems. When I start new projects, I can keep track of the ongoing ones. My favorite aspects are the division of projects by phases, the customizable timeline, being able to budget/schedule, and set a defined framework. The labels and colors help me individualize and highlight project phases for a better overview and control. Cons \*Using the mobile version, I see that it limits the functionality and potential of Hive. \*Also there should be clearer tutorials for the initial setup. ...However, once it is all set up, it is very nice to work on projects, but it could save headaches at the beginning. Review Source R Reviewer Quality Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Hive Taken to the next level" December 1, 2020 5.0 Hive has been a great help managing sales orders, manufacturing processes, quality inspections right down to shipments. It provides MFT with a live overview of all the various projects running simultaneously by assigning travelers, tasks, additional notes, check off lists all on a daily basis. Pros Know Hive is a Project Management tool MFT has taken it to the next level. We use Hive to following the manufacturing process from start to finish. As the Quality Manager, I use Hive to track scheduled fabrication on a daily basis. As orders are generated, the fabrication process is tracked throughout the build, to completion. Quality inspections are reported, and documented, then uploaded results so the team can review results. At this point, the jobs are tagged as complete and moved to the next step which is packing and shipping. Cons As sales orders are generated, they are inputted into Hive along with all applicable documents, PO#, drawings, travelers and additional notes is needed. Hive use to be able to open a Autocad file or Solidworks file, but now, the drawing file has to be downloaded then opened. This is an extra step we didnt have to do in the past. The recent update eliminated the ability to open these files from Hive. Review Source JC James C. Project Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### ""One of the most functional software for project managers and entrepreneurs." " June 1, 2022 4.0 The best thing and the most productive benefit of the hive are that it can alter anything into an engaging task. Thus, with the multiple features and simple interface, this software is bringing a wide range of work opportunities. Hence, to be on track you need such easy-to-use software with the best integration and drag plus drop attributes. In short, the hive is one of the most functional software for entrepreneurs and other users. The easy-to-use keys and appealing dashboard make it quite interesting for users to work. Thus, bring it one and enjoy the unlimited proactive tools. Pros As quoted, this is one of the best and first management platforms supporting democracy. So, this software manages the whole working schedule very well for the users. Thus, you will regulate the timings and working strategies with the help of this tool. Hive helps in the engaging audience and provides productivity with collaborative teamwork. Cons Having no problem is a problem. So, when it comes to hives then a lot of users complain about the notifications that don't pop up while working. Thus, there are many analytical report generation and buffering issues that customers encounter. Review Source Craig S. Senior Product Operations Specialist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great Warehouse Tool - Easy to Query and Integrate" June 6, 2022 5.0 Hive was my first foray into data warehouse tools (other than a super clunky, outdated tool for pulling limited SQL results from a single table at a time). The ability to query across multiple tables, to quickly examine schemas, and to track your previous queries and results was huge in enabling us to experiment with new ways of scripting back-end processes with immediate, hands-on results. It was also able to plug directly into other areas of our workflow without much issue - we pulled data directly from Hive into Tableau, and we queried data from Hive in R to perform QA. Pros Being able to track previous queries and results goes a long way when experimenting with different ways to pull what you want. It's particularly helpful when you're constantly making changes and want to potentially revert to versions that worked. Integrations with tools such as RStudio or Tableau are also relatively easy, making it super convenient to load data directly into dashboards or scripts without worrying about extra tools or ETL processes. Cons Takes a little more work to set up compared to an all-in-one solution (such as AWS, where the various tools are all in a single platform).
