Hive Software

Pros

If you're looking for a good project management tool for your small business this gets the job done well. It's easy to see where people are on projects so you can stay on the same page.

Cons

It feel a bit new and a little rough around the edges, but they've been adding improvements which is great.

Pros

I love that everything about a project is in one place and accessible to all. It makes tracking, managing and keeping up with the team easier.

Cons

Some feature like Gantt charts are not available. There are also some integrations we'd love to have but aren't available.

This is a intuitive and fun to use project management software.

Pros

I really like this software. It integrates some different ideas that are helpful. Such as using a Status View, Team View, Calendar View, Label View, or Gantt view when setting up a project. It also has a great platform for collaboration. I also like the mobile app!

Cons

I think it would be helpful to have a rick management area for this software. Or at minimum an issue tracking area for project risks.

Pros

(1) Since it is based on sql query syntax, it is really easy to adopt to hive, which I could do within a few days. (2) I like the performance benefits it gives in scenarios where complex joins are to be performed on huge tables (3) It is fault tolerant

Cons

Hive could be much more faster if in-memory join support was there. But then it would also compromise on the fault tolerance part.

Pros

It has everything your project team could possibly need, all in one place! It makes it really easy to chat about a task and complete it at the same time. i loved being able to copy an email and the email show up as a task in the specific project.

Cons

There is nothing imensely wrong with this product, it just wasnt the right fit for my team. With that said, it had every feature my team was using and it was all in one place. i was certian this would be perfect for us. In the end hive ended up being too difficult to integrate into my teams normal day to day. Because of that we had to let it go.

Better communication and an easier time knowing where others are at on projects.

Pros

It's pretty simple to use for the most part. It's nice to be able to create teams based around projects and see where everyone is at. It's easy to see what tasks you have and assign a date for completion.

Cons

Can be a little unintuitive at times, for instance, where you need to click a certain area to add people to a project took a bit to figure out. People will often make the mistake of adding the whole office to a project or task as well.

Pros

The best part about Hive is how you can connect different tools my team and I are already using to it - like Dropbox.

Cons

It is a bit pricey for the functionality, but definitely the best solution to integrate a number of different business tools that we are already using.

Hive brings our entire team into one collaborative workspace, allowing us to replace most emails with chat & task management. Samepage.io is also worth reviewing - haven't tried it but seems to also have a strong feature set at a similar or lower price, and includes video chat.

Pros

* Ability to view work by project, but team members all in one view, and then filter tasks to everything assigned to me across multiple projects
* Chat
* Responsiveness of customer service team via in app Intercom

Cons

* Threaded chat would be nice. This was recently added to Slack, but Workplace by Facebook does it even better
* Filter out actions that have not hit their start date yet, AND tasks that have an unmet dependency. Goal is to focus attention toward work which can be done now, and minimize extra human manual filtering.
* Needs FILTER BY DATE COMPLETED: We're most interested in seeing this available on the "My team" view, but could also make sense elsewhere. While we can filter status view by assignees, projects and status complete, just need this additional ability
* Should be a way to AUTOMATICALLY MOVE URGENT ACTIONS TO TOP: Automatically sort tasks marked "urgent" to top of each respective status list when "Sort Type" "Sort by Priority" has been selected in the project navigator so users don't have to hunt them down and pull them up.

Pros

I like how customizable it is. You can change almost literally anything from the interface to adding/removing functionality.

Cons

I don't like the lack of integrations that exist though I do believe they are working on integrating a few.

We were using a combination of Slack and a couple of other tools, like Trello and some Google Docs but Hive gave us everything we needed in one spot. Big step forward and we're very happy!

I've been using Hive now for many months, and it has only made collaboration with the teams I work with easy and efficient. It's very customizable, and their team continues to improve the product on a consistent basis. I've only had positive experiences with this product.

Pros

-Easy to use
-Powerful organization
-Has everything in one place-files, task management, messaging, integration

Cons

Not enough people know about it!

Great tool, use it to run my marketing team across US & Canada. Been happy with it for 6 months or so now, and they add improvements quite regularly.

Pros

Super simple, pretty much has all the tools we need.

Cons

Want to see them add Gantt charts.
