The software is really easy to use - and very friendly to the eyes and mind. I love using the Gantt-chart option when setting up projects, to keep a nice overview of the status of a project.

Hive is helping us modernize our efforts as a team and help our communication as a team be more centralized.

It was so nice to be heard and to have my feedback appreciated and implemented.

Also, I have used other project management softwares, and a lack of a desktop app or a addon (meaning you have to always open a tab to get the notifications) is a bit of a bummer.

My Hive accessories have been very useful and reliable.

This has been a great software to do it and we have been exceptionally happy with both the platform and the customer service behind it.

This tool is a good bang for your buck if you are a small business in need of a project management tool, as a lot of the other tools out there can get pretty pricey.

The small touches like custom messenger statuses and built-in giphy make Hive fun to use.

I very much like the ablility to integrate IM, email and the productivity capabilities into one tool. It's a fantastic way to keep a 360-degree record of every job.

Supplies easy, quick and fun communication with coworkers and teams.

Hive has been a great help managing sales orders, manufacturing processes, quality inspections right down to shipments.

Because it made my life easier, a lot (which every PMS should do). Their customer care is highly responsive and solved any minor issues I had within extremely short period of time.

Hive messaging is also really slick (we no longer use Slack) and the platform's Giphy integration makes for some fun times for our virtual team.

However there has been a few bugs due to updates that have limited access into the platform for a small amount of time (less than an hour).

Creating timelines and amending them can be difficult.

Thanks for making such a great piece of software.

Great tool, Awesome User interface, wide variety of features.

Overall it has been good. We have watched the program evolve and have definitely noticed improvements in ease of use and functionality.

Seamless use among team that definitely improves overall efficiency and effectiveness. Ease of use (even for less tech savvy).

The user interface is very intuitive. It is a great advantage that it has integration with many large companies.

Love the clean, bright interface, the options for data/project organization and visual representation, and stellar customer support - especially during onboarding.

We all love hive from the upper management to the day to day users. It is so great to go through the rundown of projects and see how they are all coming along.

Organization, costing, task management. The Hive app and mobile are also awesome.

I enjoy how integrated the platform can be with other software such as Microsoft office, and the customer service is pretty good.

There are so many features that I love about Hive. My favorite is that you can tailor each project view to what works best.

Getting mobile app and making it running is little bit hard because you need to know your chat server and its little bit hard for most people.

It has the PlayBook plug in right off the bat. Playbook helps assign various tasks in case of disaster and keeps a log of whatever is done and sent, so collaboration is good.

Like I just said, full and easy auditing of the stack. The API is clean enough to pair with pretty much anything.

We switched to this product because of lower price and option to have self-hosted messenger. Allows you to create secured and perfect internal communication and collaboration tool.

It is very well designed, it allows usage of emojis and gifs, so communication within platform is fun after hard working day.

Chat options, the emojis all the perfect. The integrations with 3rd party tools is also so easy and smooth.

I would highly recommend Mattermost for those looking for an intuitive instant messaging software suited for professional use.

I like the ability to build very specific groups and control notifications in each group. Was a previous Slack user but Slack doesn't fit with our security requirements and the cost.

That's a nice alternative to Slack. Managing channels and using the entire product is very easy and intuitive.

Also, it's very easy to deploy and integrate. Ensures really secure collaboration.

The interface is attractive. You can use a Mattermost app or you can use the web interface.

It's very easy to use, and as far as I can tell works alot like slack. I'm not sure if it has as many plug-in options but that's not something I'd use anyway.

It's a good workspace platform for people who remote work and for me it helps communicate many work-related things easily.

There are multiple examples on installing and running Mattermost in different cloud hosting environments, and the user community is also very helpful.

I am overall pleased with Mattermost, in many ways it performs better than Slack and has promising prospects.

Mattermost improves communication and collaboration within our organization with a very good group and.

Can be hosted on-premise. Good community support - Apps and Integrations brings great support to exchange data with external systems for software development teams.

Self-reliance is pretty key - plus the cost of licensing Slack was wildly disproportional to the value gained for 900+ person company.

The community was great and it was easy to contribute.

Good third party software with data-security features that can be implemented on any custom built  application like PHP,python, etc.

Great alternative to Slack, especially for the price.

Easy to use, Open source, ability to tag people in comments and respond with emojis (this makes it fun to work with colleagues).

Cross-platform applications ready to use. Amazing open source community built around the product, friendly and helpful people.

Great software, easy Administration, best user experience.

We can easily integrate its available APIs to be used within custom applications. It provides many chat features like one-on-one chat as well as Group chat features including file sharing features.

Well, sometimes, I can't find the message I'm looking for with the research feature, but it surely is caused by bad search terms.

It is quite annoying to search in the history of the chats because of the scroll that is  continuously moving because for the async load.

Hard to see the history of the chats. You can not search in a concrete chat.

I am using this software from last 1year and the experience is amazing. This software provides great features and it is so user friendly.

The best thing about mattermost is it has minimal crashed unlike Skype and here we can create groups and have the groups without the need to create the groups again and again.
