What do you like best about Hive?

Hive features a mostly intuitive UI across browsers and desktop/mobile devices with its Hive App. The service makes tracking project status and related notes (such as temporary contacts) effortless, while offering customizable status fields and columns. The ability to pin active projects keeps key project groups within easy access, helping to streamline navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The desktop app occasionally logs users out if not used on a daily basis. Selecting the correct template can be a bit overwhelming if you're new to the interface and may take some trial and error so be prepared to spend time before going live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The tiles within Hive are great for tracking temporary project data and notes, offering a further level of detail beyond the simple logging of time or items that a standard accounting software title might be capable of handling. The apps ensure quick access to key project details from anywhere a user has the internet. Referencing the completed column on project tracking decks also provides valuable historical notes for client data that might otherwise have been archived. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for your positive feedback! t's great to hear how Hive has helped you track project data and provide valuable historical notes for client data. We understand your concerns about the occasional log out issue, and we've notified our team to identify and solve this.

It is a very powerful Project management system when working with a team of professionals on a project with multiple stages, timelines and deadline dates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows for communication with my team without going outside of the program. I can sen emails and correspond in real time chats about a specific project.

What do you like best about Hive?

Hive has multiple ways to view projects - status boards, Gantt charts, calendar, etc. It's easy to swap between these views without having to change your project setup. The integration with built-in notes, messaging, and other tools is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The UI is a bit confusing until you get used to it. Getting started and introducing it to my team members was difficult, but that might be more due to my own unfamiliarity with Hive as I tried to train my teammates. There's some custom setup required to get dashboards and views that accomplish what I want, but now that I've got that setup it's easy to access the reports I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a small, remote team in our marketing department. We get project requests from our organization. Hive helps us stay on top of projects, assign tasks, stay organized, and meet deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're glad to hear that you find Hive's multiple project views and integration with other tools helpful for organizing your projects and keeping your team on track. Thanks for the review!

What do you like best about Hive?

The project management and collaboration features of Hive prove to be excellent. Hive serves as a platform that enables our team to handle tasks together with projects and workflow management. The platform enables users to establish tasks and set specific deadline dates to optimize their operational process. I can establish project schedules containing important objectives which allow real-time monitoring of our performance. All members of the team can communicate through built-in chat and email tools. The integration capabilities of Hive include seamless connection with Google Drive and Slack through its tool interface. Hive aligns its simple interface structure with user needs so that any member of the team who may lack tech experience can operate it without difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The mobile application fails to provide features that exist in the desktop version thus causing difficulties during computer absences. Advanced features in this application require users to learn through trial and error because their learning curve is challenging. The app at times fails to deliver notifications in a timely manner thus causing users to miss important updates or messages. The small technical issues do not impact the core value of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Project management was disorganized before Hive came into existence. The combination of emails and spreadsheets and meetings created multiple communication problems that led to project delays. All information exists in Hive because it serves as one unified platform that displays project data alongside tasks and deadlines.

The team members now stay updated with real-time progress through Hive since it provides instant collaborative tools for information sharing. Our team efficiency and productivity together with team collaboration have increased because of this system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with Hive! We're glad to hear that it has been the best solution for your team's needs. We're excited to share a new and improved mobile app soon.

What do you dislike about Hive?

The billing has been a challenge as we were overcharged and refunded a couple of times. The platform should explain adding users, etc. However, the customer service was exceptional in getting this issue resolved! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hive is giving me visibility to all projects across my team so I can see bandwidth as well as if something is falling behind and needs my assistance. This allows us to stay on track for all our clients and deliver on time projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
