Hive Review

PROS: Pleasing to the eye, easy to use, and extensive. Hive has the best features which ensure that a project is all in one place--project plan, notes, attachments, status, and shareable to other users (and even clients). Their support is very helpful and they listen well to our comments and suggestions for improvement.

CONS: A "View Only" option for clients would be helpful.

PROS: This application has helped me in the entire process of my company's projects. My personal favorite is the ability to plan projects using the application. We can schedule a project timeline, identify each stage and subtasks for each stage, and assign them accordingly to each department. During the project, we can communicate with each other using the chat feature and view the status of each task.

CONS: I think this is due to my not being used yet to the application but I find viewing tasks quite confusing. Viewing the Gantt chart and creating them in the app is challenging.

PROS: Everything in one place with Hive! We use it for our workflow and personally what I love about it is its customizable view.

CONS: Mobile application needs a lot of improvement.

PROS: My personal favorite is the customizable view of tasks. Every department in the company uses Hive for their workflow and they have different priorities in the tasks they do. I like how we can edit the way we view the app so that each department can view and access immediately the resources they need.

CONS: Improvements on their mobile application.

PROS: Hive is the only application I used which really delivered the term all-in-one. Everything and in a user-friendly user interface. Using the app it has been easier to track tasks, and even the team members participate in using them (before only team leaders can use our management tool because they were complicated and had restrictions). With Hive, we have everything in one place with everyone participating and with more organized scheduling and tracking of tasks.

CONS: The desktop version needs to improve its speed and the mobile application needs a lot of improvement.

PROS: Hive can be used by everyone from management to employees. With the custom view, we can view it according to what the department is assigned to do and also view it as a whole picture.

CONS: Viewing messages without lag would help.

PROS: Efficient, productive, easy to use--everything we are looking for in a project management application. Our previous application takes so much time for us to update and organize taskings but using Hive it has been a breeze! It is so adaptive, functional.

CONS: I don't have anything bad to say about the application. I love it.

PROS: Hive is a powerful tool for managing my projects efficiently while also maintaining my budget. Hive offers reasonable pricing especially for small businesses like mine. I like how we could organize tasks according to color, tags, projects, and schedules. It is easy to use and for a relatively cheaper price than other project management tools, it is extensive, adaptive, yet so simple.

CONS: Although I find the app already simple, I would love for it to lessen the clicks needed to edit a task date. I hope for the app to be more customizable as well.

PROS: Easy to use and follow up on tasks and people involved in it. I love how we can easily change the deadlines of the tasks and it will automatically update on the primary task. I can also tag people, tag labels on the tasks, and leave comments on tasks.

CONS: Improvements on the mobile application.

PROS: Hive is an easy to use application that provides its users with better communication and transparency on the status of each task assigned to a department, team, and individual. The application helps our organization sort and prioritize our projects.

CONS: None, I love the application.

PROS: Our company handles projects with different levels of needs in terms of resources, effort, time, and difficulty. With Hive, we get to manage them and prioritize them. Using the custom view (by calendar, color, project, etc.), we were able to move forward in each task per project so everything would run smoothly.

CONS: Our company is new to management tools and it took us quite a while to get used to using it. What I found too difficult was navigating on the swimlane but with few tutorials, I got to use it quite effectively.

PROS: Hive is a great platform for managing your team, especially during this pandemic. We get to assign tasks and quick action cards for ad hoc work while maintaining the tracking of routine tasks. What I love about Hive is its ability to break down a big project into smaller tasks so it's easier to follow and easier to track. Plus, it's easy to navigate on and easy to train new users to use them.

CONS: It would be a great help to have an organized method of viewing the status of tasks, like not started, ongoing, completed; a method of adding followers or having an employee/manager follow a task so that they would know that there is someone already doing a certain action card, and to just have a dashboard which summarizes the progress of assignments.

PROS: Hive provides everything that I am looking for in a project management application-- project-based action cards, time tracking, analytics, email integration, and team and project chat. Compared to how we do projects before with other management tools, Hive provides ease and smooth flow on tracking projects and communicating with teams within the project. Looking at these benefits, it has a reasonable price as well. What strikes me is the efficiency of their support team. I reported a bug in their system once and in just hours it was fixed. They know how to take care of their stakeholders and clients.

CONS: Assigning labels and tags to projects. It is a hassle to assign a label to a subtask I need to assign it first to the main task. It is a small thing but sometimes it is frustrating.

PROS: Creating tasks and subtasks--organized and easier to track.

CONS: Extensive to the point that it confuses me sometimes. It sends me notifications on tasks I unassigned myself to.
