"Slow adapter to HIVE but now love it!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Hive?

I really like the way the projects are catergorized and everything related to the projects in contained within that one record. You don't have to nagivate multiple through multiple screens to find what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

It's not clear when I can edit the project record after I submit a ticket. I believe the admin must need to approve the ticket before I can I make any changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Have used Hive for years, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon!"

5/5

What do you like best about Hive?

Hive is an awesome tool. It’s so easy to add new projects and action cards and to keep all of my tasks organized by due date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

While I’m really enjoying all of the new features, the one thing I will say is that I really don’t like most of the different view options. I pretty much stick with the status view option because it’s the only way that my brain really works. I find that some of the other ones like the Gantt view, or even the list view are more overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me, Hive has continued to solve my to do list problem. Instead of writing things out on paper, I’m able to add them easily to my task list in hives manually or via a project template, but it is insured that my team is consistent and following the same steps each time we have a particular project, because the templates are there and easy to use.

"Great software with project and task management system in one place"

5/5

What do you like best about Hive?

This tool is great and easy to incorporate for our team. I like that it tailors each project view so that it works much better and you can see them in a customizable timeline. On top of that, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

So far so good but I would like them to improve the mobile version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"They allow proper management of the planning tasks that we must carry out"

5/5

What do you like best about Hive?

I love that you can add checklists, it has great collaboration features. Subtasks can be created for each checklist, I love the drag and drop features. There are additional features and integrations available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

It is not able to provide detailed reports, most of the integrations cannot be used. It can be a challenge if you are new to the management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An invaluable tool for managing my design business"

5/5

What do you like best about Hive?

I typically have multiple projects on the go with multiple subtasks in varying stages of progress. Hive allows me to keep track of every task within their own individual workspaces but also see at a glance how each overall project is tracking. This is further aided by the ability to assign workflow statuses to individual tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I really did not find anything much to dislike about Hive although there was an initial learning curve as there are some differences with the platform when compared with other project management tools. The support team were extremely helpful though in helping to learn some of the nuances of the software. I have found a few UI glitches from time to time when viewing multiple columns in the desktop application but these seem to be resolved by reloading the window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hive effectively consolidates all of my project management into one neat package. I can see all my active/in-progress projects at a glance but also see more granular detail for individual projects (workspaces) when required. The ability to also share project Gantt views externally with my clients without the need for any additional licensing is particularly helpful as it allows me to keep my clients updated at every stage of the process and also see if there are bottlenecks that are slowing down the project. When I am managing multiple projects at any one time, the "My Actions" tab offers a great way to see everything I have on the go. Being able to assign subprojects to main projects is also a welcome addition that was missing from a lot of other project management tools I had tried before settling on Hive.

"Great project management for creative requests"

5/5

What do you like best about Hive?

The best part of Hive is the proof and approvals, also the forms. We have a lot of different creatives for local store marketing as well as system wide campaigns. Having all the proofs/approvals by version makes it super easy to track and see what is done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I dont have a downside to Hive. It's a fantastic tool that has made it so easy to use for our own custom needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our scope of work includes a lot of different versions. We have location versions as well as language versions. For example, when we create flyers for our campaigns we have 11 different versions. Having a dedicated sub-action for each version helps ease the proofs and approvals, quickly see where each version is at, and with the dependencies we can see which version is linked to which. IE: Our System English flyer is the base of the Ontario flyer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hive is the new King of Project Management and Workflow Automation"

5/5

What do you like best about Hive?

I am outrageously impressed with the consistency and quality of developer updates. HIVE is moving FAST with new updates nearly every week. Not only 'behind the scenes' patchwork either. These are full-on User Story 'Requests' from active users, including new functionality as well as weekly Webinars / Trainings on how to use them. In short, anything you want to see in Hive, post it to their forums, and if enough votes are received, it will literally be the next functionality implemented. Cannot be more impressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

With their current rate of progress, the only thing I dislike is not being in the future!! I cannot wait for Buzz AI chatbot to be implemented, as was recently discussed by the CEO. This will be a game changer for Hive administration / management and yet another reason Hive is top of their industry. They already have AI in the project templates and it is phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hive solving and how is that benefiting you?

I manage over 180 different pieces of hardware equipment / assets, each with their own lifecycle replacement start and end dates. Within each of these assets is an additional battery with it's 'own' lifecycle start and end date as well. Hive enables me to stop using my previous spreadsheets and other unintuitive tracking methods, and instead let's me create "Action Cards" that can be assigned, scheduled, track time spent, show all device info, and can even have a "Sub"-Action Card for the internal battery, with it's 'own' device info and scheduled replacement dates! Not only this, but instead of having to MANUALLY create a custom action card for each piece of equipment, it was SO easy to import my previous spreadsheets directly into Hive from Excel .csv file! What was once an ugly Asset Tracker spreadsheet on one PC is now a dynamic Asset Management workflow visible to all relevant parties in my organization. This is just one small example of how Hive has immediately benefitted my position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
