"Clear UI, Fast Onboarding, Smooth Payments, and European."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

UI / UX: All information is easy to find. It is clear how to update hostname for ssh and how to terminate an instance. Quick onboarding and good documenation.

Independence: European, I like that. Paying worked for me better than with vast.ai. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

GPU is not always available.

Less European options than hoped.

Expensive compared to competition.

Paying that EU Premium does not always feel good.

I have to always setup the container before I can do my workflow.

Not sure if I should use an predefined image and how I would do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

Thanks a lot for the spot-on feedback—it's brilliant to hear you're loving our UI, fast onboarding, and smooth European payments! We hear you loud and clear on wanting more EU-based options, as well as wanting a simpler way to save and reuse your container setups without having to configure them from scratch every time. We're actively working on both of these areas, so watch this space for updates soon!

"Green, Decentralized Compute with Powerful GPUs and Great Value"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

I like the idea that the services are green and decentralized, and that I’m not contributing to the big 3 DCs. The prices are much cheaper, and I can use very powerful CPUs/GPUs to train AI models. The GPUs they offer are a very powerful for running AI models, even directly from their interface. There’s also a nice choice of models already available during the setup process. Their support seems responsive and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

I would like to see more services apart from compute. Scalability, DNS management, resource changes on the go. That way, I will migrate my entire business to Hivenet without depending on Big 3 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Affordable High-Performance GPU Access with Some Setup Hurdles"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

I like using Compute with Hivenet for its access to powerful consumer-grade GPUs at a reasonable cost, which is essential for working on compute-intensive tasks like digital twin technologies. I particularly appreciate their competitive pricing model and the accessibility with relatively low latency due to the strategic cluster locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

Sometimes it's a bit cumbersome to launch something onto the clusters and I end up wasting some compute resources. Initial setup was a 5/10; I left feedback to the team and it’s been improved. Some docs could've been improved at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

Thank you for your positive feedback on our access to powerful consumer-grade GPUs and competitive pricing model. We have taken your feedback to heart and made improvements. We're glad to support your compute-intensive tasks and look forward to serving you better in the future.

"Affordable GPU Rentals, but Invoicing and Email Support Need Improvement"
3/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

Inexpensive GPU rental. When I used it, it was $0.25 per hour for 24gb VRAM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

Prices have increased, no way to print off an invoice for my accounting, and customer support does not answer emails (or they did not for me...though I emailed about the invoice about four times). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

Thank you for the honest feedback! Really glad the GPU pricing has been helpful for your fine-tuning work.

We're sorry to hear about the invoicing and support experience — that's definitely not the standard we aim for. We weren't able to locate your emails on our end, so we'd love to make this right. Could you reach out to us at support@hivenet.com? We'll get your invoice sorted straight away.

"Economical, but Poor Customer Service"
3/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

I like the possibility of having a good number of inference models without paying monthly storage for it, which gives me peace of mind when testing various models. I also value that I don't need to buy an expensive GPU for my AI image inference problems, and that the cost is lower than using API services. The initial setup is very simple if you have knowledge of SSH and Docker, and you can quickly infer with AI models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

Sometimes the instance doesn't load well and gets bugged. Out of nowhere, an extra cost of several dollars can appear. Also, the recent increase in the hourly rental of GPUs and better customer service. They don't respond to inquiries or complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

Thanks for your feedback. We are committed to providing great customer service and are always working on improving it. Please feel free to reach out to us via the chat interface of the compute directly whenever you need any help!

"Fast, Affordable VMs for Research Experiments"
5/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

I get my VMs in minutes and I can run my research experiments using only what I need CPUs or GPUs at a lower price compared to competition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

I sometimes need to wait for a couple of hours to have the right number of GPUs available for what I need to do. Would love to be able to prebook instances and get a message when the GPUs are available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

We appreciate your feedback and are pleased to hear that our service is meeting your research needs. We understand the importance of GPU availability and will explore options for pre-booking instances and notifying users when GPUs are available.

"Affordable Compute Power, Moderate Usability"
3/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

I really like the attractive pricing of Compute with Hivenet. It's a good value because it provides a lot of flops for the money you spend. Also, I think they're responsive when I had an issue and reached out to them on Discord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

I think it was kind of not very clear how the way it was, like, container within a container created some issues for me. And it wasn't obvious why it wasn't working because I didn't really understand the strange setup they use. That's kind of not conventional to, like, container within container. Just meant that when I wanted to run my container, it didn't really work. That was my biggest issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Support, but Pricing Feels Out of Touch"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

Support is amazing! I got so much help on an issue and they quickly repsonded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

I think the pricing is silly in 2026. I can rent an A100 for 75 cents an hour, and sadly GPUs have diminishing returns. If an A100 gets the job done five times faster, then to me the value is probably only worth about four times more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

Thanks for the massive shout-out to our support team—we're absolutely chuffed we could help you out so quickly! We completely take your point on the 2026 pricing and how the math on GPU value has shifted for training. We're constantly reviewing our rates to find the right balance, so your feedback is incredibly valuable as we refine things moving forward.

"Simple setup, but GPU availability limited"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

I appreciate the cost savings from the "Pay-as-you-go" model with Compute with Hivenet, as I don't have to bear high hardware costs. I particularly like the simple pricing and the fact that I can quickly implement my tasks. Additionally, I find it very easy to set something up quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

That GPUs are very often sold out. That is what I actually need. When I need an instance quickly, it is not possible because they are sold out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

We're pleased to hear that you find value in the cost savings and quick setup offered by our 'Pay-as-you-go' model. We understand your frustration with the limited availability of GPUs and are actively working to expand our inventory to better meet the demand. Your feedback is important to us as we continue to improve our services.

"Simple, Transparent Billing with Pay-Only-When-On Pricing"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Compute with Hivenet?

The billing is simple and transparent, and the fact that I’m only charged for the time the instance is actually turned on is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Compute with Hivenet?

There isn’t much variety in the selection of Virtual Machine images, and many of the available options are based on older versions of the relevant distro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Grigor Baghdasaryan of Compute with Hivenet

Thanks for the great review! We love hearing that our transparent, pay-only-when-on pricing and fast container deployments are helping you run your tests efficiently.

We also hear you loud and clear on the VM images. We are currently looking into expanding our library and updating our existing distro options to newer versions. Feedback like yours is incredibly helpful in guiding our roadmap, so thank you for pointing this out.

Thanks for being a valued Hivenet user!
