Hive Reviews & Product Details - Page 37

Worked with Hive to support a non profit in their project and event planning as well as creative calendar. Benefits were definitely increased organization and one platform to hold all documents, project plans and to dos. Individual users were able to organize their own workload and collaborate (albeit with some difficulty). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Load times. We are always having issues with both desktop and the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would definitely recommend, makes everything easy, perfect for managing teams and keeping track of due dates and pending/completed tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I assign tasks to my team on Hive, so I know what they're doing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I often put things off, but Hive helps me tackle my fears by neat views of my tasks, which I break down into sub-actions to complete, so I actually get more things done. Our firm also uses Hive's chat feature, which has cut down our email quite a bit. We all love that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Team productivity, time management, and customer services. Also Project Management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think setting up a proper project system to begin works best. Next I would build out as many templates as possible to help streamline requests. The ease of clicking a template and it automatically adds your tasks is amazing. Lastly and i think this is the biggest, you need to train all your team members, every single function you want them to use, otherwise they will constantly ask you what to do or say they dont know how to use HIVE. Would suggest doing several training sessions, made 3-5 and set subjects per training session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have streamlined our process for all projects using HIVE. We mainly use HIVE for project management and creative needs and it has helped streamline all design requests and helps make any edits very easy to handle. We know when a project is approved and know when we can move to the next step like print proofs, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just hire people you trust so you can limit the use of Hive to the actual necessary functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really helps me waste time by logging every single thing I've done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive is a great productivity platform. My team loves it, and it makes it simple for me to keep track of where everyone is in their workload. It also provides an easy avenue for messaging team members, and actions can be assigned straight from those communications.

Hive is best utilized through a browser at this point as the app still has room for improvement. The project nesting feature is fantastic, and the ability to assign entire teams to specific projects is wonderful, I just wish the mobile app had the same capability.

It's definitely streamlined the processes for our request forms (graphics, printed media, even maintenance) and project communication plans, so events and workloads are far more organized than they were before. We can also utilize the forms outside of Hive as they can be made available to the public or across our campuses via link to be filled out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Think about how you work. Hive is so customizable that you'll get the most from it if you shape it to your environment, rather than just using it straight out of the box (although you can do that and have a completely delightful experience as well!). My team spent some time really thinking about how we wanted to use Hive--what structure made sense, how we calibrated tasks vs subtasks, etc.--before we started. Hive is the only tool we've found that makes our work easier instead of adding yet another layer of reporting on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My team has tried many tools for managing our work (Jira/Kanban, Microsoft Project, Basecamp, etc.) and been frustrated by all of them. Hive has been a revelation for us: we can set it up to support the way we work, link to all our files and emails to streamline our work, and let us share work with each other seamlessly. Plus, the reporting has been invaluable. This is the tool that solved problems we didn't even know we had. We actually work entirely in Hive now. No paper to-do lists, notes floating around anywhere, it's been an exciting journey for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Get your team on the same page regarding how templates should be used and when. Set up protocols for creating actions in Hive and notifying your team members about those actions. Make sure to set up times to archive outdated actions or finished projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are solving the issue of coordinating multi-step onboarding and school enrollment processes across department by using Hive's templates to streamline and track protocols. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
