What I like best about Hivebrite is that it’s a truly all-in-one platform. Instead of juggling several tools, we can manage our whole community in one place: member directory, events and registrations, groups, newsletters and emailing, news feed, memberships and payments. Everything is connected, so member data stays consistent across all features, which saves our team a lot of time. The admin back-office gives us a clear overview of our community and engagement, and the platform is highly customizable, so it really feels like our own space rather than a generic tool. For an organization that wants to run its community activities from a single, coherent environment, it’s a complete solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is that Hivebrite is not really suited to small communities. Because it’s such a complete platform, getting real value out of it requires a significant investment, both financially and in the time needed to set it up, animate the community and make full use of all the features. For a small organization or a community, this can be hard to justify. It’s a better fit for medium-sized or large communities that have the resources and the scale to take advantage of everything it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
