What do you like best about Hive?

I love that it has the ability to integrate with multiple applications, we can easily track project progress. I like the visualization of project task progress, you can create a knowledge base for your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Some privacy setting could be improved, it would be better to have a good report and visual elements. There are too many navigation options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps keep the project on track, helps me keep track of the productivity dashboard in one view. It allows me to invite other people to my boards and assign tasks to them, it's great for managing the progress and evolution of any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

What do you like best about Hive?

Hive is the only project management platform that has truly worked for me. Its form feature allows staff to submit requests, which are then automatically assigned to team members—helping us complete tasks efficiently. I also love the Outlook integration, which lets me turn emails into actionable tasks, so nothing gets lost in my inbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I’d love to see more customization options for forms, especially with conditional logic. This would allow us to tailor forms to specific needs and streamline the request process even further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a communications manager working with multiple departments, it’s easy to lose track of the many requests and tasks that come my way. Without an organization-wide project management tool, Hive has been invaluable for centralizing my tasks. Whether requests come through the forms I’ve set up in Hive, in passing, or via email, Hive lets me turn emails into actions and set deadlines to help me prioritize. I no longer worry about losing track of emails or wondering what to tackle next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're thrilled to hear that Hive has been the perfect project management platform for you, especially with its form feature and Outlook integration. We're constantly working on improving customization options, including conditional logic for forms, so stay tuned for updates!

What do you like best about Hive?

I'm managing a number of teams, and I really appreciate Hive's card-based action system that it brought to our company. Since the implementation of this action tracking system as part of our Q4 strategy rollout last year, I can see very precisely what my team leads are doing and lead them effectively. The ability to track actions down to the smallest details has greatly increased the productivity of our whole department - my teams are completing projects about 10% faster than before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The Gantt chart view unfortunately does not give us a sufficient (for me) overview of how the project is going and where we are at any management level. During the monthly progress meetings with directors, I can't effectively switch from one timeline view to another, and printing these charts for board presentations is limited and often frustrating. I have also noticed that when the percentages supplied on action cards are not synced with the Gantt view, my team leads will have to do the manual update of the reports which will take up some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I manage the workforce allocation of our three sub-teams and external contractors. Instead of going through all e-mails and status updates to check the progress of the teams, now I am able to assess the workload instantaneously and, when converting tasks to teams that are over-capacity, redistribute them more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're thrilled to hear that you're finding Hive's card-based system to be a game-changer for managing your teams! We appreciate your feedback on the Gantt chart view and the syncing of percentages, and we'll definitely take this into consideration for future improvements.

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.

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

Prior to our agency transitioning to HIVE, we were emailing designers and project mangers wtih estimate and project requests as well as asking for updates. Now everything is centralized and in one place. It's so easy once you get the hang of it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're glad to hear that you're loving Hive and finding it easy to use once you've gotten used to it. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for your loyalty to Hive! We're glad to hear that it has helped you keep your tasks organized and consistent across your team. We understand your preference for the status view and will continue to improve the user experience based on customer feedback.

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.

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

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

Hive has become necessary resource for project management and internal communication. We use it mainly for that, but also for other needs such as real-time project tracking and we have hained a space for collaborative work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're glad to hear that you find Hive easy to incorporate for your team and that you appreciate the customizable project views and timeline. We are currently working on improving our mobile version, and we appreciate your feedback on this.

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.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're happy to hear that Hive has been a valuable tool for managing your design business! It's great to know that you find the ability to track multiple projects, assign subprojects, and utilize the 'My Actions' tab beneficial. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to continuously improving the platform to better meet your needs.

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.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Hive! We're glad to hear that it has been a great tool for your custom needs. Cheers!
