“Pushing Productivity To The Limit With Hive”

5.0
Jan 12, 2026
Hive has been great in centralizing team communications, collaboration, task and project management, and it also makes resource allocation easy. With the tool in place, teams work collaboratively towards a common goal which leads to better productivity. In addition, Hive comes with automation features that save time which would have otherwise be used on repetitive tasks.

“Inefficient Search Function and Clunky Interface: Hive User Challenges”

3.0
Jan 27, 2025
There is a very long learning curve with Hive - it took me a full year to feel somewhat comfortable using it because it's just not intuitive (at least, not to me). It has many quirks that take time to learn - I am still discovering new ones after 4 years of using.

Hive Likes & Dislikes

Like

It centralizes task and project management as well as communication/collaboration. I like the streamlined workflows with Hive. The tool comes with amazing resource and time management features.

Like

It is customizable and sufficiently manages workflow between marketing and design teams. It also is an effective way to record work volume, ie. to measure if we are making more requests MoM or YoY.

Like

Availability of customizable workflows and robust analytics features. Hive is very flexible and easy to configure. Its customer care services are available 24/7 and the pricing is very affordable even to under developed organisations and businesses

Dislike

Hive has been smooth. No serious flaws.

Dislike

The user interface is clunky at best. It is very difficult to find what you need, and the search function has not been usable for quite some time, which is frustrating to say the least.

Dislike

Frankly, there is nothing to dislike about Hive. It is well suited with amazing features and brilliant customer care services.
