"Affordable and Easy to Use—Hive Keeps Tasks, Deadlines, and Project Phases Organized"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Hive?

I like that Hive is affordable and easy to use. The software keeps tasks and deadlines well organized, and it can also create project phases with a simple AI prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I dislike the notes and actions feature because it rarely works when there are “too many” notes or actions. The notifications also don’t stay visible or available for more than 3–4 seconds, which makes them easy to miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're happy to hear that Hive is meeting your project management needs. We apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with the notes and actions feature, as well as the notifications. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will strive to make necessary improvements for a better user experience.

"Efficient QA Management with Hive, Though Can Lag on Large Projects"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hive?

I love how easy it is to organize and track QA tasks in Hive. The ability to switch between Kanban and Table views helps me visualize progress during testing cycles. The automation and action templates save a lot of repetitive setup time. Plus, having real-time project tracking and updates keeps our QA and dev teams perfectly in sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Hive works great overall, but it sometimes feels a bit heavy when you’re managing large-scale QA cycles or regression sheets. The loading speed can slow down with multiple active projects, and notifications can get cluttered if you’re part of several workspaces. A more streamlined filter or notification system would make life much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with organizing and tracking QA tasks. We're happy to hear that Hive has been beneficial in keeping your QA and dev teams in sync! We value your feedback about the performance on large-scale projects and notifications, and we'll use this to continue enhancing the platform.

"All-in-One Project Management, Though Onboarding Can Be Overwhelming"
4/5
What do you like best about Hive?

What I like best about Hive is how seamlessly it brings together project management, communication, and collaboration into one intuitive platform. As an account manager, I appreciate how easy it is to track tasks across multiple clients and teams without losing visibility. The customizable workflows, automated reminders, and project templates save so much time, especially when managing recurring campaigns or client deliverables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

What I dislike about Hive is that it can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially with so many views and customization options. It takes some time for new team members to learn how to navigate and use the features efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thanks for leaving us a review! We're thrilled to hear that you find Hive valuable for tracking tasks across multiple clients and teams. We understand that the platform can feel overwhelming at first, and we're continuously working on improving the onboarding experience to make it more intuitive for new users.

"Why our Marketing team loves Hive for project intake and management"
5/5
What do you like best about Hive?

Our marketing team has been using Hive for several years now, and it's completely transformed the way we ingest intake requests and manage our projects across different areas of marketing. From the beginning, Hive has streamlined our workflow, made communication more efficient, and given us a clear view of our priorities and deadlines.

One of our favorite features is the customizable intake forms. They've made it so much easier for internal partners to submit project requests in a structured, consistent way. We no longer waste time chasing down missing details or deciphering vague requests. We get everything we need now in one form!

Hive’s task management and project views are incredibly flexible. We can easily toggle between Gantt charts, Kanban boards, and calendar views depending on what the project calls for. Plus, the ability to assign subtasks, attach documents, and track approvals in one platform has saved us from countless emails and status meetings.

We also love the collaborative features, like built-in messaging and proofing tools, which make cross-functional teamwork feel seamless.

Overall, Hive has helped our marketing team stay more organized, aligned, and proactive. It’s become a central hub for everything we do, and we honestly can’t imagine going back to our old processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

While Hive is a robust platform, teams may encounter occasional bugs or performance hiccups, especially when managing high volumes of tasks or large-scale campaigns. The support is great, but some times the glitches take a long time for the engineering team to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Hive! We're glad to hear that our platform has helped your marketing team stay organized, aligned, and proactive. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide a valuable solution for your project management needs!

"Hive brings structure to the internal processes"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hive?

Maintaining multiple teams, projects, and deadlines becomes swift with the daily-driver, Hive, as our PM (Project Management) tool. It helps the smooth implementation of the internal workflows, maintains robust review cycles to keep the quality standard high, and tracks progress from brainstorming to final delivery. Collaboration is facilitated in real-time, reducing scattered communication. Whether it's a fast-paced brand launch or long-term strategic rollout, Hive keeps out execution engine up and ready always. From its integration to using it daily, their customer support has been helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Although the usage is mostly on desktops, if the mobile app could be updated with a better UX, then it would be a breeze to go through the notifications on mobiles also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kate Miles of Hive

We're thrilled to hear that Hive has been instrumental in streamlining your project management processes and facilitating collaboration among your teams. We appreciate your feedback and are constantly working to improve our mobile app for a better user experience.

"Hive for the win!"
5/5
What do you like best about Hive?

Hive really helps our team stay organized on many different projects. We are a large team about 21 people working on different campuses. Hive keeps us synced together and on time as if we were all in the same office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

We wish Hive had a way to sync with our exchange calendars. There are certain aspects of our work that are date and time sensitive and we need to put these events in our calendars. We are currently using a work around but would love more attention in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptionally Well-Rounded Platform for Project / Task Management - From Beginner to Expert!"
5/5
What do you like best about Hive?

After acquiring and implementing several competing platforms, I was finally able to land on Hive as my long-term solution!

• The standard platform is exceptionally easy to implement, with the flexibility to then configure on and engagement-by-engagement basis in order to meet the unique needs of both my organization and my various clients.

• The ability to customize key fields - like Statuses, Dates, Milestones, and more - allow me to set up an effective management solution which is easily understood by both internal and external resources alike.

• The recently implemented Dashboards allow for a 'macro view' of all of my current engagements and clients - allowing me to quickly snapshot overall status and areas where tasks might be drifting.

• Integrating the Hive platform with a number of other applications my organization leverages - like QuickBooks, MailChimp, Website Development Platforms, Gmail / Outlook, and others - removes me from the day-to-day administration of the platform and automates my repetitive tasks.

• With a browser-based version, a desktop version, and a tablet/mobile version of the Hive platform, it allows for to consistently use Hive across all form factors used within my business - whereby tasks and critical actions are rarely, if ever, missed.

Personally, I keep Hive open on all of my devices at all times - and I practically live in it seven days a week!

Lastly, and equally as important, Hive provides an open forum for Product Development Feedback, Issue Reporting and Issue Resolution, and provide both online FAQs and Knowledge Repositories as well as knowledgable team members if you cannot find the solutions you're looking for!

Genuinely, I recommend Hive to all of my clients! I do not see a time in the future where my business will not leverage this platform for managing the most critical aspects of my consulting organization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

Frankly, there is very little I dislike about Hive.

In fairness, while Hive is a somewhat new platform in the marketplace, they more than make up for it in quickly cycling through updates and enhancements to their base solution. The transparency they provide in both issues and product roadmap provides clarity and understanding as to the areas where growth will be occurring.

As with most platforms, there are always 'growing pains' associated with their on-going development. However, the proverbial 'juice' is absolutely worth the 'squeeze'. 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 thrilled to hear that our platform's integration with other applications and accessibility across different devices has been beneficial for your business. We appreciate your support & look forward to the future of collaboration together.

"Well rounded collaboration & PM Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Hive?

The ability to send emails right from the ticket. The various views to see how projects are coming along are fantastic. I can look at what my co-workers are working on and jump in to help if I have free time. The view of my actions allows me to handle my workload for the day more efficiently. I like the ability to link emails to tickets. I love that there are templates and notes that you can use. The ability to make projects and move tickets from project to project is seamless. The ability to assign multiple users to a ticket is great. The ability to add attachments to the tickets is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hive?

I would like a little more customization. The ability to change our dashboard to match company colors would be nice. The ability to add colors or themes to projects to determine what they are at a glance would be nice. Also the ability to collapse description fields would be a welcome addition. I don't like that reminders are limited to 30 minute increments. Wish we could pick whatever time we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
