What do you like best about Hive?

I love how Hive makes it simple to connect projects with my coworkers. We each have a part and receive regular updates when items are completed or in progress. Other task managers were not always as user-friendly for first-timers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

My least favorite item about Hive would be the notifications about deals. They do pop up sometimes in the middle of a project and can be distracting. I would prefer they come on when the app is opened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My team is able to work codependently without the need to call or email with every question. You have the option to leave detailed descriptions and work on projects at the same time. No one is locked out of a project because a team member is working on their portion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for the review, Shelby! We are so glad to hear that Hive has been helpful to your team's projects. For notifications, we just released a "low notification" mode to limit unnecessary pop-ups! Thanks for being part of the Hive community.

Hive is very flexible. We can customize it for the different needs of the different groups we have using it. We use it to communicate project updates across multiple groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

There is a slight learning curve, which isn't bad for most tech-savvy users, but some of the for veteran people within the company required some extra support. Otherwise, all good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive:

Assign 1 or 2 people to really learn the program well, then make them available to answer questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have multiple groups submitting requests for analyses to our operations group. Keeping track of where each project is at, where we are in the timeline, when things are due, it was all a very manual, opaque process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Hive?

I love Hive for the ability to create request forms and organize all of our projects using projects, actions, and subactions.

The option for every user to be able to view in their preferred layout without affecting the rest of the team is also great, I love Gant and Team view personally!

Finally, I love that Hive is constantly making efforts to change and better its products, you can easily submit and vote on changes that you think would help it be more usable in the future.

I also love the ability to export to excel for more detailed data organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Hive Analytics seems to be a sore spot, it seems to frequently break and be unable to load data.

While this doesn't hinder day-to-day work for my team, it is a problem when trying to show higher-ups the value of my teams' recent work and also the value of Hive itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hive is a massive help for tracking and managing the overwhelming amount of project requests that come in from other departments and recording the time we spend on each of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

It is so easy to begin. Simply type an errand and hit enter. However, there is likewise a huge load of adaptability for those that need it. It generally dazzles clients when I welcome them in to see the situation with their ventures. I have truly attempted all the task the executives apparatuses out there, and this is certainly awesome by a wide margin Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I wish they had time following, and the versatile application could be somewhat quicker. I additionally think their assistance community could be a smidgen more hearty. Like it would be great assuming that they had more recordings and instructional exercises. I experienced some difficulty sorting out the new structures highlight, yet the client care group was truly useful in getting that settled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before, I needed to continually have gatherings and send messages to beware of venture progress. We were in a remote group utilizing trello, yet it was still difficult to speak with one another and the sheets gained out of influence quite without any problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

What do you like best about Hive?

I chose Hive over all of the other project management tools I was looking at because of ease of use, the Gantt chart summary view, and the Portfolio View. I needed all of my projects to roll up into a program that I could report out to senior leadership. It's a great tool, easy to use, and I really like all of the different layout views. They also have a pretty good pricing program and I love the democracy style feature requesting and voting. Great job also building up documentation on how to use the product that I access frequently. Hive really seems to care about user feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I really wish I was able to assign "placeholder" assignees. This is a big barrier for me as we have a development team that uses Jira and will never be in Hive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am able to keep track of all project tasks across multiple projects. I also love the template feature, where i Have created a standard project template that I can easily apply to new projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

What do you like best about Hive?

Being able to clone activities between projects helps us to break projects up between junior members of staff. Coming from Slack, we found literally everything about the collaborative project definition to be more user-friendly making adoption of the Hive more palatable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The autosave of changes is a double-edged sword. You can't forget to make changes to your project, but sometimes it feels better to be able to confirm your changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Managing group projects in our Systems Engineering and Architecture group. We have never been good about managing project status, timelines, and breakdowns. We have tried numerous tools, but the user-friendliness of Hive has gotten more buy-in from our userbase and has helped us become more organized and accountable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thanks for the great review, Dennis! We are thrilled to hear that our user-friendliness won you over. Being able to communicate with customers and hear their feedback is our main priority. Thank you for being apart of the Hive community. Cheers!
