Hive Reviews & Product Details

Our marketing team has been using Hive for several years now, and it's completely transformed the way we ingest intake requests and manage our projects across different areas of marketing. From the beginning, Hive has streamlined our workflow, made communication more efficient, and given us a clear view of our priorities and deadlines.

One of our favorite features is the customizable intake forms. They've made it so much easier for internal partners to submit project requests in a structured, consistent way. We no longer waste time chasing down missing details or deciphering vague requests. We get everything we need now in one form!

Hive’s task management and project views are incredibly flexible. We can easily toggle between Gantt charts, Kanban boards, and calendar views depending on what the project calls for. Plus, the ability to assign subtasks, attach documents, and track approvals in one platform has saved us from countless emails and status meetings.

We also love the collaborative features, like built-in messaging and proofing tools, which make cross-functional teamwork feel seamless.

Overall, Hive has helped our marketing team stay more organized, aligned, and proactive. It’s become a central hub for everything we do, and we honestly can’t imagine going back to our old processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Hive is a robust platform, teams may encounter occasional bugs or performance hiccups, especially when managing high volumes of tasks or large-scale campaigns. The support is great, but some times the glitches take a long time for the engineering team to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive really helps our team stay organized on many different projects. We are a large team about 21 people working on different campuses. Hive keeps us synced together and on time as if we were all in the same office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We wish Hive had a way to sync with our exchange calendars. There are certain aspects of our work that are date and time sensitive and we need to put these events in our calendars. We are currently using a work around but would love more attention in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Here’s what I like best about Hive:

Flexible Project Views: The ability to instantly switch between Kanban, Gantt, and other views is a game-changer for different team preferences.

Powerful Integrations: It connects with virtually all the tools your team already uses, from Slack to Salesforce.

Robust Analytics: The dashboards and reporting tools give you deep insights into team performance and project progress.

Native Communication Tools: You don't have to leave the platform to send messages, share files, or get approvals, which keeps everything organized.

Customizable Workflows: The automation features can be tailored to your team’s specific processes, saving a ton of manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Here's What I like the least about Hive:

Initial Learning Curve: While powerful, its extensive feature set can be a bit overwhelming for new users or smaller teams trying to grasp all functionalities at once.

Potential for Over-Configuration: With so many options, it's easy for teams to get lost in setup and customization rather than focusing on actual work, if not managed carefully.

Hive can be slow to process tasks at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After acquiring and implementing several competing platforms, I was finally able to land on Hive as my long-term solution!

• The standard platform is exceptionally easy to implement, with the flexibility to then configure on and engagement-by-engagement basis in order to meet the unique needs of both my organization and my various clients.

• The ability to customize key fields - like Statuses, Dates, Milestones, and more - allow me to set up an effective management solution which is easily understood by both internal and external resources alike.

• The recently implemented Dashboards allow for a 'macro view' of all of my current engagements and clients - allowing me to quickly snapshot overall status and areas where tasks might be drifting.

• Integrating the Hive platform with a number of other applications my organization leverages - like QuickBooks, MailChimp, Website Development Platforms, Gmail / Outlook, and others - removes me from the day-to-day administration of the platform and automates my repetitive tasks.

• With a browser-based version, a desktop version, and a tablet/mobile version of the Hive platform, it allows for to consistently use Hive across all form factors used within my business - whereby tasks and critical actions are rarely, if ever, missed.

Personally, I keep Hive open on all of my devices at all times - and I practically live in it seven days a week!

Lastly, and equally as important, Hive provides an open forum for Product Development Feedback, Issue Reporting and Issue Resolution, and provide both online FAQs and Knowledge Repositories as well as knowledgable team members if you cannot find the solutions you're looking for!

Genuinely, I recommend Hive to all of my clients! I do not see a time in the future where my business will not leverage this platform for managing the most critical aspects of my consulting organization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frankly, there is very little I dislike about Hive.

In fairness, while Hive is a somewhat new platform in the marketplace, they more than make up for it in quickly cycling through updates and enhancements to their base solution. The transparency they provide in both issues and product roadmap provides clarity and understanding as to the areas where growth will be occurring.

As with most platforms, there are always 'growing pains' associated with their on-going development. However, the proverbial 'juice' is absolutely worth the 'squeeze'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to send emails right from the ticket. The various views to see how projects are coming along are fantastic. I can look at what my co-workers are working on and jump in to help if I have free time. The view of my actions allows me to handle my workload for the day more efficiently. I like the ability to link emails to tickets. I love that there are templates and notes that you can use. The ability to make projects and move tickets from project to project is seamless. The ability to assign multiple users to a ticket is great. The ability to add attachments to the tickets is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a little more customization. The ability to change our dashboard to match company colors would be nice. The ability to add colors or themes to projects to determine what they are at a glance would be nice. Also the ability to collapse description fields would be a welcome addition. I don't like that reminders are limited to 30 minute increments. Wish we could pick whatever time we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Hive centralized my daily workflow. I use it frequently to manage tasks track progress and collaborate with my team. The real time collaboration and customer support make it easy to stay organized and productive. It helped in saving my time by providing task tracking, messaging and analytics in one tool.
