Hive Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Hive is the visibility it gives our team into the entire workflow. We can organize incoming requests, assign responsibilities, track progress, and see what has been completed without relying on scattered emails or verbal follow ups. It helps keep everyone in sync and makes it much easier to manage priorities and maintain an organized queue. Overall, Hive has been a great tool for keeping our team organized and our workflow intact. It provides the structure and visibility we need to keep projects moving, stay aligned, and make sure requests are properly tracked from submission through completion. Great value indeed.

Hive can take some time to configure properly because there are many options available. New users may also need some guidance before they understand where to find information and how the workflow is structured. Once the process is established and everyone becomes familiar with it, however, it works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value Hive’s flexible project views and simple no-code automation. We toggle between task boards and Gantt charts for utility infrastructure inspections, allowing both office staff and external contractors to view work in their preferred format. The automation alerts our team when contractors upload site photos and safety compliance forms, helping us stay on track for regulatory inspection deadlines. Hive’s custom form builder and task trigger automation are particularly valuable, enabling contractors to submit site inspection notes and photos, with automatic follow-up tasks and alerts. The straightforward dashboard and easy initial setup, even without dedicated IT staff, make it easy to manage field projects and meet tight deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive’s mobile offline functionality is its biggest limitation for our utility field contractors. Many of our inspection sites have spotty rural cellular service, so contractors cannot fill out forms or update task status without an internet connection, which sometimes means writing notes on paper and re-entering them later. Its native reporting tools are also rigid, making it hard to generate custom compliance summaries, which adds extra admin work for us. Additionally, there's no native two-way sync between Hive and other tools like Google Workspace or our CRM, which requires manual data transfers and adds to our workload.

it helps me manage different daily work activities in one place without making things confusing. I work as a Dietician & Nutritionist and also create healthcare awareness content for social media, so I use Hive for content planning, patient follow-up tracking, organizing wellness campaigns, and managing healthcare related projects. I like that tasks, subtasks, labels, notes, due dates, and workflow stages can be managed very easily. Features like Table view, Calendar view, status tracking, reminders, notifications, and project organization help me a lot while handling multiple healthcare and educational tasks together. Timeline style tracking is also useful for managing ongoing content schedules and workflow planning.

I also use Hive to track content progress, review patient updates, organize consultation records, and manage social media health education tasks. Everything stays more organized, and it becomes easier to check completed work, pending tasks, and ongoing activities from one place. Another good thing is that Hive has many useful features but still feels simple and clean during regular use. Navigation is smooth, integrations are helpful, and the overall workflow management experience is very good. Customer support resources were also useful whenever I needed guidance. Overall, it helps me save time and manage healthcare content and patient related workflow in a more organized and professional way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes after working on multiple tasks and projects for some time, a few sections can start feeling slightly crowded, especially when many updates, subtasks, and workflow activities are active together. I also noticed that switching between different views takes a little time in the beginning until you get used to the workspace layout. But once the workflow is properly set up, daily work management becomes much easier and smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things about working with hive are the organizational part, the possibility to schedule working hours and, without a doubt, the platform's intuitiveness to open, schedule, organize and optimize your work time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I believe needs more improvements are the application for pc and mobile. they are kinda hard to read and do some urgent things, and beside that, consumes a lot of ram from the hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive is quite easy to get the hang of. Whilst we don't use all the components of Hive, what we do use has been very helpful in our day-to-day business - we can leave each other notes and assign members to tasks to make it easy to see what needs to be done for every job.

We had trialed proofing and approvals with our clients however we found that it was easy for them to lose the links in their inboxes.

We have added Hive Automate to our workspace but found that you have to be rather tech savvy to make the best use of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love that Hive has a user friendly interface. We went ahead with this tool out of all the project management tools as it was the easiest for our senior management to understand and work on. We are a small team and it has been a perfect fit. And Buzz, the AI chatbot has been the best one, it can create projects with a prompt inside of Hive. The customer support has been excellent despite the time zone differences. We also had an amazing onboarding consultant, Elle, who was incredibly persistent and made sure every one of us understood the tool thoroughly. It was easy to implement for a team of 10. It has many app integrations and we loved the slack integration as that's out main go to. Overall, one of the best project management tools out there especially because of Buzz.

The proofing and approvals add on could be better than it is now if it allows for accurate frame to frame feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have really liked the interface of the messages and the duration of the chats. However, I would like the overall interface of the platform to be more adaptable and visually appealing. I also consider it important to have a guide for using the platform, as well as to provide it in several languages if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is only available in English; it could be amazing to have it translated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the templates and added apps. Being able to use workflows, forms, and notes makes a huge difference. The templates allow me to build out workflows that I can pass to my colleagues without cumbersome documentation and without having to explain so much that I might as well have done it myself. The workflows allow us to automate some of the work, for example, processing the applications that we receive for a specialty program. We use notes to keep meeting notes and program SOPs in easily accessible and linkable forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not super user friendly when you're first getting started. I had to invest a lot of time upfront in understanding the user interface, and I wasn't able to find relevant tutorial videos online or in Hive University. It was not easy, and I dedicated close to a week getting the projects set up enough that I could bring it to my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this platform is its flexibility and its ability to adapt to different team workflows. From Kanban, Gantt, calendar or even table views. It accommodates multiple work styles within the same platform. Their built-in automation, time tracking and collaboration features make it a very powerful all-in-one solution without making it much complicated. This platform third party ecosystem is very wide in this space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though this platform is very feature-rich, for new users, it is very complex to set up the initial structure. Their workflow structuring is very effective but needs wider options, and these platform integrations are hidden behind the high-tier plans, which are not that adaptable for smaller teams. There are certain roadblocks in the integration systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the interface - you can customize the colors for projects (or in my case, clients), it just flows very well and is very visually appealing and well organized. I also love the layout when you open a task, where the sub-tasks are, the comments section, other information. I love that you can customize the task in ways I need.

The ONLY thing I don't like is that I can't drag & drop tasks within a specific day on calendar view. I have to click each task and click "move up/down" which can take some time. I would love the ability to just drag & drop the task in the order I need for that specific day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
