Hive

The Only Project Management Software with the Features I need

Pros:

Hive is the only project management software that is cloud collaborative, has infinite sub tasks, and Gantt charts so it was an easy choice. Also it is not Microsoft Project so I don't have to deal with their insane billing methods. Chatting inside tasks or letting task owners turn sub tasks into their own projects is great. Everyone can keep up with who is working on what and who needs help or what is holding up the project. Sign in and billing is super easy. Support is extremely reactive when I have questions. There is a bunch of stats on task completion that I don't use, but look useful.

Cons:

The mobile app has significantly reduced functionality compared to desktop.

The project management product we were looking for

Pros:

We looked at and tested several project management options and had used several in the past. Hive was never on our radar and unfortunately isn't as well known, but we discovered it through the WeWork employee portal and gave it a try. The set up was simple, it offered flexibility in terms of how you view and sort projects. It also allowed us to add external users without paying for a seat. This was extremely important because we want our clients to have access to our project boards, but we don't need full functionality for them. While it wasn't available when we first started using it, the addition of time tracking was a huge bonus for us as an agency, and Hive continues to impress us by adding additional features and functionality. When it comes to support, they are extremely responsive and in the rare times we have had to utilize support, issues have been resolved to satusfaction.

Cons:

I wish there was a native integration with HubSpot, but we're able to get around that with Zapier.

Well-designed Project Management Software

Comments: Hive Software is Well-designed and easy to use tool for project management. It comes with powerful features which make it a perfect choice for teams of all sizes and companies. Personally, I was impressed with the features and functionality of the software and highly recommend this software to companies looking for great project management tool.

Pros:

Hive is a project management software that is designed for all the organizations and it's teams to reduce time and manpower. It offers a wide range of project management tools, such as task lists, calendars, and Gantt charts that make it easy to manage projects and team members to achieve the goals.

Cons:

The software does not offer time tracking feature which may be a disadvantage for some users. Other than this we don't face any issue with the software.

Good Software for small teams

Comments: It was an easy to use software, but we needed more functionality.

Pros:

It was easy to use and implement and roll out in our small business.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the software was very slow at times and some of my employees reported very long waiting times. One of my employees was not able to use it on Linux PC.

Very smooth design and perfect for remote coworkers

Comments: Our marketing team used Hive to organize a special, multi-week initiative. As a company with employees spread across the country, we needed a way for everyone to feel as though they were working side by side in the same room at all times.

Pros:

Hive is used for both microtask management and internal team communication. This facilitates systematic documentation of all open tasks in accordance with PMI's best practices.

Cons:

The task cards can only hold text, hence we can't attach any necessary files to them. The main barrier is oversharing with third-party suppliers outside of the company.
