Hive Reviews & Product Details

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 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.

I like how Hive helps us streamline project management and access project information easily across multiple platforms. I appreciate the ability to add functionality through add-ins, which prevents us from paying a premium for features we'll never use. The base price of Hive is very reasonable, and we can enhance functionality in particular areas like Automation and AI, as well as integration with Salesforce, by using relatively low-cost add-ins. It's a significant advantage to give Hive's AI, called "Buzz," an integration task in plain language, saving us a lot of time. Additionally, Hive's integration with Microsoft 365 provides useful features like calendar reminders and links to meetings, along with the ability to link an email to an action in Hive, which is very helpful. The initial setup of Hive was relatively easy as we were able to import our templates, and Hive staff were supportive in helping us understand the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Proofing & Approvals functionality didn't work very well for us. There's a lot of potential in it, but at this point it still feels like a work in progress. There are just too many variables in document types and website setups to be able to reliably proof things beyond images and PDFs. We do a lot of proofing and approvals of text documents, usually in Microsoft Word, but you can't actually open the document and track changes inside of Hive. You can mark up the document if you convert it to a PDF, but that sacrifices the ability to make changes and track them directly on the document. Since you need to go out of Hive to do that, the 'inside the project management tool' advantage sort of goes away, and becomes more of a 'manage the tool' burden when it comes to text documents.

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.

I like being able to utilize Hive in different ways and adjust the platform to match my visualization preferences. The color coding and assigning tasks to my team are very helpful, especially in the status window. Being able to differentiate tasks by color and track who is responsible helps me stay organized with multiple tasks happening at once. The initial setup was great—super helpful and intuitive.

It would be nice to have a repository folder that we can keep in the app for evergreen tasks that can house process docs or helpful guides. Integration with SharePoint would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Hive is how it manages to keep project tracking simple yet powerful. The layout is clean, the navigation feels natural, and switching between Gantt, Kanban, and calendar views helps me visualize projects from different angles without losing context.

I use Hive mainly for sprint planning and task allocation across multiple projects. Creating tasks, assigning owners, setting dependencies, and tracking progress are all incredibly smooth. The integrations with tools like Slack, GitHub, and Google Drive also make a huge difference — everything stays connected, so I don’t have to jump between apps.

I also appreciate Hive Analytics — it gives quick insights into productivity trends and workload balance, which helps us plan sprints more efficiently. For developers and team leads, it’s the right balance of structure and flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive is great overall, but there are a few areas that could improve. Sometimes, when managing multiple large projects, the interface can feel a little heavy — it takes a few extra seconds to load dashboards with many active tasks. I also wish the mobile app mirrored the desktop experience a bit more closely, especially for editing subtasks or adjusting timelines on the go.

Customization could be slightly deeper too — things like automations or recurring task templates take a few extra steps to set up compared to tools like ClickUp. That said, the platform is solid, stable, and their support team is very responsive whenever something needs tweaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
