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.
