What do you like best about Hive?

Hive is remarkably quick to get set up and integrated into your current workflow. Their Hive University walks users through getting started, and their onboarding works to ensure that any lingering questions are answered by a Hive pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The mobile/tablet app experience leaves a little to be desired. The phone app is a great at-a-glance tool, but feels a little tedious to use for full project management. And the iPad app (I can't speak to other tablets) functions differently if it's in landscape or portrait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were using another PM tool (Podio), which was fine, but didn't easily give a holistic view of all activity in our agency. Additionally, there was no clean way to generate reports for our clients. Hive allows us to manage projects and clients individually, but generate agency-wide or client-specific reports quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thanks for leaving such a great review, Todd! We're happy to hear Hive helps your team manage both individual and company-wide projects. Cheers!

What do you like best about Hive?

Everything is customizable. Most will say that but Hive truly is. And they're community-based. I get a message every week or so on a new feature that provides a value each and every time because it's voted and asked for by Hives community of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Sometimes the customization can be a little overwhelming. In that case Hive has made big strides in providing guidance towards use cases for best practices but maybe some templates would be helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I need a robust system. Something that tracks every level of my marketing projects from beginning to end and Hive solves that. In addition, many of Hives competitors can do task management for a team or an individual well, but not both. Hive allows me to get high level to manage my team and granular to manage my own tasks. It's solved all of my pain points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for the great review! We pride ourselves in being community-driven, and it sounds like we have achieved our goal. It's awesome to hear how Hive has helped your team. Cheers!

What do you like best about Hive?

That this software is created for users by users to ensure the project management and platform is effective across all work streams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The downside with HIVE that I am experiencing at the moment is tracking of timesheets on who has submitted and not submitted for the week. And submitting a ticket and waiting to see if it gets picked up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were having issues with having all active projects in one work space to track developments and track overall time. With this workflow being solved in HIVE I am now able to keep summary report of all active work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for leaving us a review! It's great to hear that Hive has been helpful in your workflow. Cheers!

What do you like best about Hive?

It's a decent project manager. It has plenty of integrations including mail, calendar, and time tracking. The integration with Microsoft Teams is quite useful, which notifies and allows you to join scheduled meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

It's pretty slow. The app is somehow worse than the web version. This makes it feel like a downgrade when compared to solutions like Asana. I don't know that I would say other solutions are better in terms of features, but they feel a lot snappier. The steps required to get from an assigned task to the project overview are a bit unintuitive. Time tracking is very confusing and requires several steps that really don't make any sense to me. Failing to complete one of these steps can cause issues for the finance department, which will compound if not resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive:

It's a quality product, just be aware that it's a bit sluggish. Time tracking is a bit confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hive is how my company manages advertising accounts and assigns tasks to team members. It allows for quick feedback on graphic design, videos, or copy. It allowed us to work remote if need be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for the feedback, Joe. We apologize your experience with Hive has not been as positive as we hope. We have taken all of your feedback to bring to our product team and encourage you to continue utilizing our Hive Forum. Cheers!

What do you like best about Hive?

The visual of daily and future tasks and the daily summary they send you to help you track all pending tasks. It is easy to create and assign a project to others to help with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Sometimes is hard to find projects or tasks you've completed in the past so it is difficult to go back and check what you've done before. I think it is possible to check but not very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving the way we track and we have visibility of what needs to be done so you don't miss anything; tasks are very organized, the due dates are super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thanks for leaving us a review, Carol! Awesome to hear how Hive helps your team stay on top of its tasks to stay organized. Cheers!

It allows us to complete jobs for clients on time.

It is collaborative in the cloud, and has unlimited subtasks and Gantt charts.

Ease of creating work schedules.

The mobile/tablet app experience leaves a bit to be desired.

The search option could improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thanks to Hive, we can handle projects and clients separately, and I can provide client-specific or agency-wide reports quickly and easily.

It allows you to know all the details of the workflow plans thanks to its ability to promote good communication between team members.

You can add tasks or "actions" to your meeting notes without leaving them and attach them to projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for your feedback, Adal! We appreciate you leaving us a positive review, cheers!

What do you like best about Hive?

Hive allows our team to customize our workflow. It also has several tools and features that help us individually organize and optimize our goals and plans. We especially love the many ways to customize and individualize how each of us can use the system. It helps us all stay on the same page, but lets us use the system how each of us likes to use it with all of our different responsibilities and preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

As an educational institution, we are not allowed a discount despite being a non-profit. Our funding doesn't stretch as far as we like and it would be more helpful to be able to take advantage of a discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hive solves our problem of having a single solution for our project and task management. Our team has diverse needs that only Hive has been able to satisfy in one single solution. Other project management software doesn't hit every box for our needs. Hive does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thanks for the review, Alex! We are glad to hear Hive helps your team stay organized and manage your workflow in one place. We appreciate you being a valued Hive customer!

What do you like best about Hive?

Hive provides a huge amount of options for organizing projects and tasks and collaborating with other team members. The different view options make it easy for everyone to see where they are with each part of a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

There are so many different features now available on Hive that the app can feel a bit overwhelming at times. Do I need all of the options it provides? I don't think so. But it takes up some of my mental space to figure out what features may or may not be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have many projects that involve multiple people collaborating on tasks at different points in the process, and Hive lets us view where each task is in real-time and communicate with each person working on it to stay on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for leaving us a review! We are happy to hear Hive helps your team stay connected. If you ever need a tutorial or assistance with features, we have a video library explaining our apps. Cheers!
