Hive Reviews & Product Details

I like that Hive helps me track project requests and keep projects from slipping through the cracks. It’s our team’s home base, where files, chats, comments, and discussions are centralized. I can use it as the source of truth for proofing and revisions, and find the context and files from past projects easily. I can also see who has a full plate and who has capacity, which helps me spot workflow bottlenecks so we can solve them. Keeping chats and comments in Hive instead of spread across emails and platforms is a game changer for our mostly remote team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn’t find setup difficult, though onboarding could maybe include content and modules to help leadership teams teach their wider teams how to use Hive effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Hive helps centralize project management, task tracking, and time logging in one place. It gives me better visibility into the team's workload, capacity, and priorities, making it easier to organize projects, monitor progress, and balance workloads efficiently. It also helps improve collaboration and transparency across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Hive could be more intuitive and flexible, especially when it comes to reporting, time tracking, and workload management. Some information requires too many steps or manual updates, which can make it harder to get a quick overview of the team's capacity and project status. I’d also like more automation and better integrations to reduce repetitive administrative work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Hive is innovative and continues to grow, making improvements that enhance our organization. I appreciate the clean interface and fine details. The multifunctional dashboards are a highlight for me, as I can customize and create them to fit our needs. I enjoy the custom dashboards, which allow me to track jobs and workflows for different departments and sales reps. I also find the timer and add-ons like the form and time tracker really cool. These add-ons, particularly the form, have been hugely beneficial in getting clear information from our sales reps when they submit requests. The setup was relatively seamless with a bit of a learning curve, and now it's integrated into our workflow. The visibility Hive provides into what I'm working on and have worked on is really helpful, allowing me to see daily, weekly, and monthly metrics. I highly recommend Hive to friends and colleagues, giving it a 10 out of 10 for its ability to track and log tasks effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm having trouble with a couple of things in Hive. I'd really like the ability to change the completion date directly in the main action card. Right now, I have to switch to table view and add a completed date column to adjust it, because if I forget to mark a job as complete, it logs the completion date as the day I check it off, which isn't accurate. Also, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use custom fields effectively. I want to add job quantities to an action card and have it connect to the project, so I can track and add all the times together, but I haven't grasped how to do it yet. It seems like I need to watch more tutorials because what I'm attempting isn't working as I hoped. So, yeah, those are my main hurdles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has built-in AI tools that help us draft content, summarize our project progress, and automate our workflows. Friendly and responsive customer success team with live knowledge bases, webinars, and support channels. Quick to get started. Using templates, automations, and recurring tasks reduces repetition in our work. We’ve seen improved productivity as we are more aware of workload, deadlines, and less time is spent having status meetings and chasing people via email. Native integrations mean we can easily integrate with many common enterprise tools such as Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Jira, and GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can get quite hectic if we are not careful. We do have to put a little bit of effort into setting up notifications. The mobile experience isn’t as smooth and can sometimes feel a bit slow. Some features are limited whilst using the app on a mobile device. The reporting features are handy but could be more flexible. Some processes require workarounds as they can be complicated to set up. With lots of projects and lots of data, the app can sometimes be slow. Some of the advanced features are additional costs per user and the lower level plans do have strict limitations on our workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value Hive’s flexible project views and simple no-code automation. We toggle between task boards and Gantt charts for utility infrastructure inspections, allowing both office staff and external contractors to view work in their preferred format. The automation alerts our team when contractors upload site photos and safety compliance forms, helping us stay on track for regulatory inspection deadlines. Hive’s custom form builder and task trigger automation are particularly valuable, enabling contractors to submit site inspection notes and photos, with automatic follow-up tasks and alerts. The straightforward dashboard and easy initial setup, even without dedicated IT staff, make it easy to manage field projects and meet tight deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive’s mobile offline functionality is its biggest limitation for our utility field contractors. Many of our inspection sites have spotty rural cellular service, so contractors cannot fill out forms or update task status without an internet connection, which sometimes means writing notes on paper and re-entering them later. Its native reporting tools are also rigid, making it hard to generate custom compliance summaries, which adds extra admin work for us. Additionally, there's no native two-way sync between Hive and other tools like Google Workspace or our CRM, which requires manual data transfers and adds to our workload.

it helps me manage different daily work activities in one place without making things confusing. I work as a Dietician & Nutritionist and also create healthcare awareness content for social media, so I use Hive for content planning, patient follow-up tracking, organizing wellness campaigns, and managing healthcare related projects. I like that tasks, subtasks, labels, notes, due dates, and workflow stages can be managed very easily. Features like Table view, Calendar view, status tracking, reminders, notifications, and project organization help me a lot while handling multiple healthcare and educational tasks together. Timeline style tracking is also useful for managing ongoing content schedules and workflow planning.

I also use Hive to track content progress, review patient updates, organize consultation records, and manage social media health education tasks. Everything stays more organized, and it becomes easier to check completed work, pending tasks, and ongoing activities from one place. Another good thing is that Hive has many useful features but still feels simple and clean during regular use. Navigation is smooth, integrations are helpful, and the overall workflow management experience is very good. Customer support resources were also useful whenever I needed guidance. Overall, it helps me save time and manage healthcare content and patient related workflow in a more organized and professional way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes after working on multiple tasks and projects for some time, a few sections can start feeling slightly crowded, especially when many updates, subtasks, and workflow activities are active together. I also noticed that switching between different views takes a little time in the beginning until you get used to the workspace layout. But once the workflow is properly set up, daily work management becomes much easier and smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Hive because it helps me communicate better with my team and it's fairly easy to use. The way Hive breaks down jobs into individual responsibilities makes it a great scheduling program, and it's designed so everyone can share inputs, which is helpful. I also appreciate how the layout, with a Gantt chart and table, helps organize projects in chronological order, allowing me to quickly see what needs to be done each day or week. Plus, Hive accepts inputs from other programs and functions as an FTP site for transferring large files effectively, archiving everything for quick access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only request that I would have is it's definitely not easy to print something like you would in a normal program like Microsoft Word or Project, something comparable. It's just it needs to improve on its printing capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things about working with hive are the organizational part, the possibility to schedule working hours and, without a doubt, the platform's intuitiveness to open, schedule, organize and optimize your work time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I believe needs more improvements are the application for pc and mobile. they are kinda hard to read and do some urgent things, and beside that, consumes a lot of ram from the hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hive is quite easy to get the hang of. Whilst we don't use all the components of Hive, what we do use has been very helpful in our day-to-day business - we can leave each other notes and assign members to tasks to make it easy to see what needs to be done for every job.

We had trialed proofing and approvals with our clients however we found that it was easy for them to lose the links in their inboxes.

We have added Hive Automate to our workspace but found that you have to be rather tech savvy to make the best use of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love that Hive has a user friendly interface. We went ahead with this tool out of all the project management tools as it was the easiest for our senior management to understand and work on. We are a small team and it has been a perfect fit. And Buzz, the AI chatbot has been the best one, it can create projects with a prompt inside of Hive. The customer support has been excellent despite the time zone differences. We also had an amazing onboarding consultant, Elle, who was incredibly persistent and made sure every one of us understood the tool thoroughly. It was easy to implement for a team of 10. It has many app integrations and we loved the slack integration as that's out main go to. Overall, one of the best project management tools out there especially because of Buzz.

The proofing and approvals add on could be better than it is now if it allows for accurate frame to frame feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
