Data Scientist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy and Useful Tool for Managing Projects" February 11, 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. Review Source DA Daniel A. Digital Content Creator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Project Management Made Easy" June 17, 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. Switched from [Basecamp](https://www.capterra.com/p/56808/Basecamp/) We switched because Basecamp didn't supply all the features we needed. Review Source RG Ritu G. Scientist Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hive is a powerful all in one project management platform" September 9, 2025 4.0 Hive can handle many aspects of work and tasks by providing a powerful centralized platform. The features that it provides are very secure over various platforms and has many collaboration tools which offers a lot of creativity in the projects. The add on features also are a top tier and provide specific needs. Pros I personally like that Hive allows flexibility to each member of the team and everyone can work on the project in whatever way it suits them. The learning curve is very minimal with Hive and is a user friendly software with intuitive and customizable interface. Hive also offers third party integration and provides the integration of email and chat options. HiveMind is another powerful addition to Hive which is its AI assistant which helps in generating the content. Cons The cost can be pricey if you want to include some add ons of advanced tools. Mobile app also has a room for improvement Review Source IS Ignacio S. Real Estate Agent Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Secure process and task automation for real estate teams." October 2, 2025 4.0 The agency benefited from Hive in terms of centralizing storage of documents, streamlining day-to-day work, and securing information, leading to easier goal attainment and hassle-free project creation for Villalba Propiedades. Pros Hive's stable task tracking and process automation are valued by users, enabling small agencies to monitor property documents and arrange file monitoring securely between teams. Cons Users mention a steep learning curve for new employees and bugs that sometimes disrupt hassle-free workflow to the extent that additional support is needed to resolve problems and reduce downtime. Review Source JE Jamie E. Marketing Operations Specialist Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good, Easy to Learn Project Management Platform" September 15, 2025 5.0 Hive has been a great resource for our team in keeping track of all our projects and tasks. It opens up visibility to what the team is working on and our workload. Pros Hive has been an excellent addition for our team. It is easy to learn, can be customized for user preferences, and is always improving its features. Cons I wish the mobile app were better. I think it is lacking some core functionality that the website/desk app has, including email and calendar connections. Review Source SU Saad U. Strategy Analyst Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Journey with Hive at RTCG" March 9, 2025 5.0 I am able to save time by automating projects and tasks management processes with Hive. Pros Hive for over four years has been a main backbone tool for managing projects in my organization. I like that it requires zero manual workflow to carry out PM and TM processes with Hive. Cons Hive lack capabilities for global enterprises even though it has a robust backend integration feature. Review Source ML Malachi L. Director of African Leadership Programs Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hive is the software that brings team clarity and collaboration to companies" June 8, 2025 4.0 We are now able to roll out leadership training initiatives on schedule with less noise. Hive Founder at Athena Health Hive centralized our planning and increased accountability across teams. Pros Hive visualizes and simplifies the project workflow. As for program coordination, we use its task layouts and Gantt views to follow timelines and assign tasks. The team loves the visibility. Cons It can be a little clunky to use on mobile. Notifications don’t always come through well across devices. Review Source PV Paul V. Head of Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hive Is a Top Solution that Has a Great Interface" December 8, 2024 5.0 Pros Hive efficiency makes it a top tool for our company. I love the capabilities and amazing interface of Hive. Cons Hive has been efficient and reliable. It has always been flawless.

Review Source GR Graeme R. 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 VR Verified Reviewer Senior PM Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A contender for the worst software " September 18, 2024 1.0 It did not provide a positive working experience and promoted user-anxiety at the agency. Pros Everyone using it at the omnicom agency I worked at, were in agreement hive lacked basic features, rushed poorly planned new features weekly (in response to complaints), which caused disturbing time-wasting new bugs. The ‘pro’ to this is we all agreed I used it throughout 2022 and changed jobs 2023- and I don't have to use hive now- big YAY Cons Fundamental functions lacking included: cut, copy, paste ,undo (if software does not have these features working, run don’t walk from it) Did not do their homework and as a result were missing many standard features. For instance: minor but expected: no total of comments in a route reviewing WIP deliverable (people want to know a review’s progress, counting 70 comments to inform the team is wasteful: feature was later added) Reacting to complaints by adding features weekly indicates bad programming with poor planning. It’s not acceptable because…. New features = risk of new bugs - and hive’s weekly upgrades resulted in constant bugs, which incurred 2-5 wasted hours of each users time weekly spent documenting and finding work-arounds. We could not trust the software. Heres just a few of the continuous stream of bugs that would suddenly occur, a non-ending assault, boggling comprehension. -In the timeline list view suddenly all days of the week disappeared. The feature was reinstated in a week or 2, but only moving forward. In all previous timelines the days stayed missing -This was crazy ; in timelines suddenly all line items reading ‘Client Review’ literally dropped to the bottom after in market date.so there was a stack of clients reviews after the project ended. We had to drag them back into position. Fun times! -Suddenly but randomly, teams review routes started to freeze. The status of the supposedly current reviewer would read “reviewing” far too long. I would contact them for status and find they were not reviewing and often did not have that Hive project open. The notification that it was their turn was not received. To get the route working when that happened, I has to delete all reviewers which would remove approvals. The team members on the route had to be manually re-entered. The bug evolved and started mixing up the reviewer data. For instance it would insert my name reviewing for the Account team. I was project management…same work-around delete reviewers and re-enter.. I could go on and on. I was tasked to write up the issues our agency wanted to retire hive. However removal would be hard as someone purchased hive for every omnicom agency. I’m not sure what happened. My first company-wide software dev project was in 1991 for Atlantic records tracking sales in real time. Since then i have managed 12 similar scale software dev projects. My hive experience reminded me of one where we inherited partially done development whose code was so ill-conceived the fix was trash it and start over. Review Source LJ Lewis J. Duty Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product, easy app with it!" October 29, 2024 4.0 Good, i have a hive thermostat and the application goes hand in hand Pros It is so easy to find out everything about your home energy on a simple app Cons It was difficult at first to get around the app. Review Source BC Billie C. 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 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 GG Genshakah G. Chief Executive Director Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quality Project Management Tool" May 13, 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 Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It is worth a try." March 5, 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 Response from Hive Technology March 18, 2022 Thanks for leaving this review, Grace! We are so happy to hear that Hive helps you and your team stay on track of projects and tasks. Also, we are re-vamping our onboarding, and your advice helps us during the process! Cheers! MP Morgan P. Program Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for Small, Remote Teams" June 16, 2023 4.0 Overall, Hive has been a good system for our team to work effectively. It gets the job done, although not always as simply as other tools. Pros The native time-tracking feature was one of the biggest reasons our team chose Hive as its primary project management tool. With a team as spread out as ours geographically, Hive has made it easier to collaborate and execute projects. Hive is always looking to improve, and we appreciate that they ask for feedback and implement it. Cons Hive has limitations in terms of its reporting and integrations. We would love to be able to build our CRM right in Hive to simplify our sales cycle work and time tracking, but we must still use a third-party at this point. Additionally, automations in Zapier and integrations with third-party apps are still not as robust as with other popular project management systems such as Asana. Alternatives considered [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reason for choosing Hive Time tracking. Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Trello did not have a time-tracking feature. 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! LP Lindsey P. Director of Operations Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good and Bad, but Mostly Good" November 23, 2020 4.0 Overall, Hive works for our Marketing team and customer service is exceptional (especially \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]). The biggest frustration is that we tested a few systems and chose Hive because it combined messaging, we liked the look of it, and the ability to link external apps if desired. The ultimate reason we chose Hive, though, was because when tested, projects with a date range for a due date showed up at the beginning of that range, which is exactly what we needed and no other system did that. However, a month after we switched and installed, that changed and they now show on the due date which causes issues (and extra messages and meetings) for our team to make sure stuff is being worked on proactively. We've had a large amount of issues with recurring actions and auto-snooze as mentioned above and I've reported it several times. We've had Hive around 8-10 months and just went through redoing our entire workspace to hopefully make it more streamlined due to the systemic issues we were having. With that, I'll say there are several ways to utilize Hive and you can find what fits for your team. So overall, good and bad - mostly good. Pros For our team of five, the most beneficial features are: ability to assign two people, ability to color code projects, ability to track time within a task, ability to add approvers within a task, direct and group messaging within the app (replaced separate use of Slack), Notes and ability to share them, and the "status" and "table" views for projects. Cons For our team, we have had repeat issues with recurring actions not functioning correctly, specifically with auto-snoozing actions and sub actions (even past their due date) as well as due dates when we try to update recurring actions. We shifted our set-up and re-entered all actions at one point to try and workaround the need for a recurring action. We also prefer for actions with a date range for a due date to show up as of the start of that date range so we know how many days we have to work on something, however they show up the day it's due.

We also needed a system we could communicate within rather than the team communicating through Slack and Email outside of the system. We liked that Hive had different ways to view projects so each team member can choose what works for them and that communication could be integrated. Review Source Response from Hive Technology March 12, 2021 Thanks for your review, Lindsey! We're happy to hear that Hive is a helpful tool for your marketing team.

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!

Pros lo que más se destaca de Hive es su interfaz intuitiva y la amplia gama de funciones que ofrece para mejorar la eficiencia y la colaboración de los equipos. La funcionalidad de planificación de proyectos y gestión de tareas es particularmente útil y bien recibida por los usuarios. Además, la opción de personalización y la integración con otras herramientas también son aspectos positivos de Hive. En general, Hive ofrece una solución completa para la gestión de equipos que ayuda a mejorar la productividad y la organización. Cons la falta de algunas funciones avanzadas en su versión gratuita Review Source GW Glenn W. Quality Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hive Taken to the next level" November 30, 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 Response from Hive Technology March 24, 2021 Hi Glenn! Apologies for the inconvenience. We've set to work righting this error and you should be back to normal within the week. Thanks again! 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! JC James C.

" May 31, 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 Response from Hive Technology September 22, 2022 Thank you for leaving a review, James!

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.
