What do you like best about Hive?

Our team loves the ability to change the project layout so it can be viewed either by the individual responsible for the tasks, the status, or as gantt chart. Everyone looks at everyone differently and this allows us all to see it as we need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Hive is robust so it took a little while to understand how to use it. The resources were there but you have to have the time to put into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive:

Definitely consider using Hive. We tried a lot of project management tools and Hive was our favorite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our team stays on track better now and we all know where the project current resides. As people are out of the office we can still check in on progress rather than having to wait until they return. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

The visual nature of the user experience was a key component as to why we selected Hive. The number of custom views allows our multiple teams to quickly access to the data they need to help deploy resources in the best manner possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The mobile app could benefit from an evolution. It is currently a basic, but serviceable app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive:

The onboarding and roll out was seamless, the Hive team have truly partnered with my PM team to ensure the best experience for the agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Cross-department communication. The benefit of Hive has been less emails and that was a welcome byproduct of the technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

The way the application is intended is something to admire, the intuitive and easy to use of its graphical interface allows any user to use it without any problems, this is very important since this type of software lies in the degree of organization that can give the user to facilitate the work of project management to your company or department, through constant monitoring and predictive analysis that the application performs very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The mobile application is not responsive, it has problems to load so working from my device is almost impossible for me. Switching between menus causes the application to take a long amount of time, so this is one of the things that needs to be improved, loading times and overall optimization of the application for both the Android version and the iOS version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive:

The priority for project management software I think has to be the organization, everything has to revolve around this, the way the communication channels work, the easy visualization of tasks and subtasks, performance and culmination and deadlines of proyects, all these functionalities must be delivered in the clearest, precise and functional way, that you can see how modular the software is without losing sight of its general operation, all this Hive has managed to implement it perfectly, so that I consider it one of the best software in project management that I have ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Normally my department is doing the hard work at mid-week, that's when the workload comes up and we have to work on the fly to cover with the deadlines imposed by the project managers. Hive has taken care of our team being organized in a more dynamic and productive way that allows us to meet the limit times without sacrificing the quality of the final result, our communication skills have successfully improved all this thanks to Hive.

What do you like best about Hive?

It is great to see all of the projects that are being worked on. You can see what other people on your team are also working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

It is a little hard to figure out where to track time at first. But I think coming up with an internal system is best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive:

This is definitely worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Hive?

Different views, gantt, spreadsheet, KanBan, etc. I love the endless subtasks that you can create.

Projects and subprojects.

Portfolio overview is a nice tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Think it needs a "tomorrow" or custom on My Actions so I can filter even further.

The app is just not even close to the desktop experience. I rarely use it as the functionality is so limited.

Calendar integration needs to be able to integrate subprojects.

Email integration is ok, but would be nice if it were able to link to multiple accounts.

Search feature needs to be able to search at the project level, not just action/task level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Many projects are best with gantt, but others are best with Calendar, KanBan or just spreadsheet. This allows me to view in any way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

I like that I can include photos and videos of projects that we are undertaking, simultaneously. It is a straightforward app and a new-bee can figure it out very quickly. I get notifications as the team completes tasks. I can have all kinds of categories, so the team can throw out their ideas, and I can prioritize them and kick some down the road, so no one gets a straight "No" but instead it goes into a consideration folder for future projects, which later are ranked and sorted and poor ideas can fall off silently. We used a whiteboard previously, and it was hard to read some people's handwriting fonts. Some people wrote in a giant font, this is clean and tidy and can be seen on multiple devices at the same time. As people check it off, you see who and when completed tasks. We will likely have a large screen in the office, so we can walk in and review as a group from a distance in mornings and at breaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

We use the desktop app the most, I may need to update the cell phone app, I find it difficult to navigate, but there may-bee a newer one? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are way more organized, employees that love knowing what is coming for tomorrow, can look forward and anticipate. First ones in the morning can start without checking with others, just jump in. Simple tasks can be put in a folder for Saturday, or lower-skilled highschool/ college staff can tackle. With the photos, I do not need elaborate descriptions, just a fix this, please. I love being able to archive completed tasks, I just need to figure out at the end of the year to pull up the long list of things we have accomplished and then celebrate at our season wrap up party. Some people just love checking off work lists, and it game-i-fies their day. :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

We use Hive specifically for our IT tasks - this has been great for organizing all of the projects and knowing what the status of each project is and who is responsible for what in each project. I find it easy to use, and easy to figure out what is assigned to yourself and what you are responsible for.

It's nice that even if a project isn't assigned to you, you can find it and see the status of where it's at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The only area of hive that I wish was different, was that when you received notifications, if you clicked on the bell, it would automatically mark the notifications as read but not remove them from the notifications once they were read. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to go back to previous notifications as a quick, did this happen check in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it specifically for our IT projects and for the IT team to coordinate with the marketing/ops teams.

I really like that I can leave notes to assignees within not only the overall actions but in the tasks assigned to those people so the notes are especially relevant; not as many people are bothered then by the notifications, etc.

I like that can upload files/images directly to tasks so that they're right there ready for the programmers to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

The clean UI, the cross platform usability of the app, the desktop app, the configurability of the views. The chat feature is awesome too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I don't have any complaints at this point. It is everything my team needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hive:

Allow a good 3-4 weeks to transition your team, depending on the size of your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We provide marketing fulfillment for dozens of clients and have a real need to stay organized and in touch. Hive facilitates all of that for us in a clean and intuitive way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hive?

Simple & effective organization across companies, projects, teams, tasks, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Somewhat inflexible when it comes to automation. Design is not too engaging, but don't mind that much in a business tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Trello was not powerful enough when it comes to recurring tasks & a dedicated project/task mgmt system. Hive is more effective at blending to-do lists with project management (we still use Trello for organizing information, just not project and task mgmt). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
