He's good at making assets easy to find and share.

Strategic productivity

The implementation of HIVO has meant we have a single platform for all our digital assets and has been a game changer for our business. It's an outstanding piece of software with customisation specific to our needs and a super helpful support team. Highly recommend!

PROS

The ease with which we are able to locate digital assets and images of specific nature reducing the time is takes to form portfolios and marketing documents. Sharing images and assets with clients and collaborating with other firms is easy and has significantly streamlined the way our organisation deals with digital files.

CONS

The setup with my team was a challenge as they aren't very tech-savvy, but the UX is really intuitive and the support staff were super helpful to get them up to speed.

Reasons for switching to HIVO

Every other product did not address our specific business needs or deliver the support that our progressive business requires.

HIVO - the time saver

The HIVO customer support is top tier. They were able to set us up with a folder structure unique to our business needs. Whenever we have needed help they have been quick to respond and very hands on in solving our problems for us.

PROS

HIVO allows us to grant our stakeholders access to our IP in a centralised location. It has saved us time on email back and forth with stakeholders and allows us to control what IP is available to them. The flexibility of the platform and the team at HIVO helping us trouble shoot and find solutions has been excellent. For example; applying watermarks automatically to web sized imagery has saved our team hours, if not days, of work. 

CONS

Some of the functionality can be fiddly and not always super user friendly. The ability to receive notifications when new assets are loaded to collections would be helpful. At the moment, we need to contact users direct when folders are updated. 

Vendor Response

Hi Kara, thank you for your review. We are so glad that HIVO has been able to save Paralympics Australia a significant amount of time and resources. Thank you for letting us know that you would like the ability receive notifications when new assets are loaded to collections is in the roadmap and we will update you once it is released. We will pass on the kind words about our top tier customer support to the team! It is a major focus for the business and glad that it is appreciated. Thanks again. Will HIVO

A huge time saving tool

Using HIVO has been fantastic and the support team is lightning quick. This makes a big difference when using enterprise software.

PROS

HIVO makes the repetitive tasks such as downloading, sharing, creating versions, watermarking and editing really easy and super quick.

CONS

We are still waiting to roll it out the rest of the business, so I have to use shared links to non HIVO users, until those people get their own HIVO account which will mean I can 'nudge' them assets.

Reason for choosing HIVO

The self servicing editing and design features for both photos, videos and creating an asset from scratch. HIVO has replaced using Canva for our business.
