What differentiates Hive from other similar products?

Hive performs an excellent job of bringing together in one location all the parts required for a project. It links them to the sources, connections, comments, and next steps and keeps everyone on the same page. Managing sales orders, production procedures, quality inspections, and even shipments have all benefited greatly from Hive.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Everyone may be informed about who is working on what, who needs assistance, and what is delaying the project. It's quite simple to sign up and pay. Support responds to my questions in a very prompt manner. There are several task completion statistics that I don't use but that seem helpful. It was easy to set up and provided versatility in terms of how you could view and arrange the data.

What do you dislike most about this product?

For someone like me who has never used other productivity tools, it may not always be intuitive. It's a little challenging to get assistance and instructional films that will help me advance and master the fundamentals. I find myself wasting a lot of time browsing the blog, searching on Google and YouTube, and chatting with people using the tool's chat feature.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We can now devote more time to really finishing the job at hand. We are able to finish work for clients on time thanks to Hive. I also enjoy how we can track our time for various jobs and clients using the time clock tool. In addition, the Hive customer care crew is always available and willing to assist me whenever I have questions or problems.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing

Hive is making our business hype up

What differentiates Hive from other similar products?

Since Hive is the first project management software for hybrid work that has been shaped by users, it helps our teams work more quickly. New product enhancements at Hive are created based on user input and votes on our Forum. It is the only widget toolkit designed to accurately reflect how you actually function on a daily basis.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It was simple to choose Hive since it is the only project management tool that supports cloud collaboration, endless subtasks, and Gantt charts. Additionally, since Microsoft Project is not involved, I will not be confronted with their absurd billing practices. It's wonderful to allow task managers to turn sub tasks into separate projects or to chat within tasks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There aren't many difficulties; Hive is simple to use and allows all members to perform their duties directly through it. I just believe that Hive requires more automation, particularly with regard to updating the start and finish dates of missions. Additionally, some enhancements must be made to the search options, since the current state prevents us from obtaining reliable results.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Hive has absurdly simple interface. What I value most about our team is how well we communicate and can work together on a variety of assignments. We are also aware of deadlines and subsequent tasks. It basically automates communication and task completion. Thanks to Hive, we can now pay less attention to lists and to-dos.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity

The best management software we have used so far

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Hive from other similar products?

Hive links all facets of our work with adaptable project layouts, native email, resourcing, group messaging, and file sharing. Hive is assisting us in maintaining order for faster execution of tasks to produce outcomes, which has improved the performance of our firm. Hive also helps us gain a bird's-eye view of our initiatives.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I adore Hive's straightforward, flexible Kanban UI. With no hiccups, mistakes, or problems, I built my pile of orders, attached labels, and relocated my work items. I heartily endorse using this tool both personally and in teams. To complete my wedding planning responsibilities, I was looking for a straightforward tracking tool, and I found one here.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are still some bugs that cause content to simply vanish, which is incredibly annoying. Action cards and notes both experience this. When considering migrating all meeting minutes and other stuff traditionally kept in Google docs to Hive, it breeds hesitation and mistrust of the technology.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The majority of the task demands that Hive can help me with require access from more team members. Hive makes it simple and straightforward to schedule tasks for other people, pass them along, and charge them if they are late or need to be amended. It provides a thorough overview of forthcoming tasks and available resources and where we may most effectively optimize to complete the most work in the best manner.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
