# Hives.co Reviews **Vendor:** Hives.co **Category:** [Idea Management Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/idea-management) **Average Rating:** 4.2/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 3 ## About Hives.co The ready to go platform to engage employees and gather ideas from all over your organisation in an easy way. --- Hives began with a simple idea That knowledge and experience need to be shared. Once upon a time, we used to be a team of consultants that would help organisations to create a better and more effective digital workplace. However, we understood early on that many of our clients had a hard time enabling their employees to voice their opinions and share ideas of improvement. They simply lacked a permanent model for constant change. And without an easy way to gather ideas, a change would come slowly and the health (and wealth) of the organisation would be threatened. The concept actually works much like a beehive. By the way, did you know that the beehive is a commonly used symbol of industry and cooperation? And it makes a lot of sense as in a hive, every bee has a purpose and a specific task, and they all work together. And much like a beehive, the well-being of, and the culture in, an organisation is dependent on the busy bees it consists of. A beehive works like so: Its internal structure is called a honeycomb, and it is made out of a mass of hexagonal prismatic cells composed of beeswax, creating a foundational pattern of actual geometric efficiency. The bees themselves gather nectar and other sweet juices from flowers, which transforms into honey in the bodies of the bees. The honey itself is then stored in the cells of said beeswax. Sound familiar? The process of working together, with a purpose, gathering nectar and transforming it into honey is pretty similar to how we humans coexist and cooperate. We thrive when we work for an organisation that has a strong foundation and efficient work processes. We want to be a part of something bigger, and we want to contribute where we can. We gather inspiration and impressions all day long, and these transform into actual ideas when you least expect it. But where are these ideas supposed to be harnessed and harvested? That was the challenge for every single organisation we talked to. So we decided to create a solution to these problems and build a tool that would give companies the possibility to empower their employ(b)ees in ways they didn’t even think was possible. ## Hives.co Reviews ### 1.

Pleasantly surprised with hives.co capabilities **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Hives.co?** I had used Mailchimp in the past without any issues but I was pleasantly surprised with how robust hives.co is for the cost. Especially for a smaller company that is moving towards larger growth but still may have a steep learning curve with other marketing and CRM software, Hivs.co serves as a more inexpensive and intuitive option. Tip: Play around in Beta mode for a good chunk of time so you don't become overwhelmed in the live environment first thing. Makes a world of difference. **What do you dislike about Hives.co?** I wish you could send emails through and API but it didn't make a huge difference with the company I currently work for with it. In previous larger companies, I would have longed for a bit more automation features. **What problems is Hives.co solving and how is that benefiting you?** We became a more efficient company and reaching more customers with better messaging because of it. It is a huge reason why we were seeing the growth that we were the last two years. ### 3.
