I enjoy using this app with my coworkers because we can securely send documents back and forth. I dislike the amount of bugs.
Pros: I enjoy using this app with my team. It makes it easy to manage files and tasks between coworkers. Good app.
Cons: I least like the amount of bugs the app has. It is hard to use this app because of it. They need to fix it.

Overall, I've had a good experience with Hive. It makes it easy and quick to handle tasks and talk to my team. It helps keep track of due dates, check on progress, and work better together. There is a slight learning curve at first, but once i get the hang of it, it works great. If i searching for a dependable way to handle projects, I suggest Hive.
Pros: The interface of Hive is clear and easy to use and The task management system is highly well organized and has useful views like Kanban, Gantt, and Calendar. It's easy for the team to work together and talk to each other because everything is in one spot. It saves time and makes work more productive. In general, it is a good deal.
Cons: When working on big projects, the platform can sometimes feel a little slow. At first, new users have to learn a little bit. i can only get some sophisticated features in plans that cost more. Sometimes, small faults or glitches might make things not go as smoothly.

The agency benefited from Hive in terms of centralizing storage of documents, streamlining day-to-day work, and securing information, leading to easier goal attainment and hassle-free project creation for Villalba Propiedades.
Pros: Hive's stable task tracking and process automation are valued by users, enabling small agencies to monitor property documents and arrange file monitoring securely between teams.
Cons: Users mention a steep learning curve for new employees and bugs that sometimes disrupt hassle-free workflow to the extent that additional support is needed to resolve problems and reduce downtime.

Hive has been a great resource for our team in keeping track of all our projects and tasks. It opens up visibility to what the team is working on and our workload.
Pros: Hive has been an excellent addition for our team. It is easy to learn, can be customized for user preferences, and is always improving its features.
Cons: I wish the mobile app were better. I think it is lacking some core functionality that the website/desk app has, including email and calendar connections.

Hive can handle many aspects of work and tasks by providing a powerful centralized platform. The features that it provides are very secure over various platforms and has many collaboration tools which offers a lot of creativity in the projects. The add on features also are a top tier and provide specific needs.
Pros: I personally like that Hive allows flexibility to each member of the team and everyone can work on the project in whatever way it suits them. The learning curve is very minimal with Hive and is a user friendly software with intuitive and customizable interface. Hive also offers third party integration and provides the integration of email and chat options. HiveMind is another powerful addition to Hive which is its AI assistant which helps in generating the content.
Cons: The cost can be pricey if you want to include some add ons of advanced tools. Mobile app also has a room for improvement
Ritu G. · Scientist · Biotechnology · September 9, 2025
Overall, I've really enjoyed using Hive to manage our internal projects. It's easy to manage users across various projects without making things confusing.
Pros: I like how easy it was to set up form integrations for use with our ticketing system. Users easily submit tickets that filter into our Hive project load.
Cons: The thing I like least about Hive is the web browser experience. It tends to time out quite frequently and can be laggy at times.
Daniel A. · Digital Content Creator · Higher Education · June 17, 2025
We are now able to roll out leadership training initiatives on schedule with less noise. Hive Founder at Athena Health Hive centralized our planning and increased accountability across teams.
Pros: Hive visualizes and simplifies the project workflow. As for program coordination, we use its task layouts and Gantt views to follow timelines and assign tasks. The team loves the visibility.
Cons: It can be a little clunky to use on mobile. Notifications don’t always come through well across devices.

Good, i have a hive thermostat and the application goes hand in hand
Pros: It is so easy to find out everything about your home energy on a simple app
Cons: It was difficult at first to get around the app.
Lewis J. · Duty Manager · Education Management · October 29, 2024
It did not provide a positive working experience and promoted user-anxiety at the agency.
Pros: Everyone using it at the omnicom agency I worked at, were in agreement hive lacked basic features, rushed poorly planned new features weekly (in response to complaints), which caused disturbing time-wasting new bugs. The ‘pro’ to this is we all agreed I used it throughout 2022 and changed jobs 2023- and I don't have to use hive now- big YAY
Cons: $81

Billie C. · Marketing coordinator · Marketing and Advertising · August 27, 2024
Project, task and resource management. Team collaboration and document storage.
Pros: Hive allows me to manage projects, tasks and resources automatically. Document storage is another added advantage about this tool.
Cons: Unavailability of on-premise platforms for mobile and desktop is the only issue with Hive.
Donald O. · Executive Technical Director · Construction · July 2, 2024
An unmitigated horror story of misery and despair. Completely unsuitable for managing multiple complex jobs with many moving parts. A very poor piece of software for granular time management. It has lots of potentially good features but they are all so badly and confusingly designed. It could potentially be very useful and powerful but they need to completely revamp their UI design philosophy to make it easy and consistent. It feels very outdated and not well joined up.
Pros: They have a very good support team and the project gantt charts are useful.
Cons: The UI is unbelievably poorly designed with lots of inconsistencies and everything takes more clicks and time than it should. It is incredibly inaccessible for the neurodiverse because of it's poor design. It takes a long time to learn and is quite glitchy. I frequently encounter problems and it is difficult to work out whether each problem is due to a Hive glitch or a user error because of the poor UI. It's a total time sink and makes me want to quit my job.
Matt K. · Head of Strategic Visualisation · Design · June 29, 2024
Hive more than doubles the amount of tedious, manual data entry required for every project. Most of my team actively avoids using Hive as much as possible. Instead we rely on spreadsheets and email to do literally everything Hive can do but better, faster, and with less training. Then we just mark everything complete in Hive so it looks like we're using it.
Pros: If you complain about Hive enough you'll get a thirsty email from Hive's [sensitive content hidden] asking for free advice.
Cons: $82
Jeff F. · Campaign MAnager · Information Technology and Services · May 22, 2024
It life changing because it has simplified tasks for me.

I think Hive is a great project management tool that offers many features and benefits for users.
Pros: It has a smart analytics feature that allows users to track their progress, performance, and productivity, and get insights and recommendations from machine learning.
Cons: The task dependencies feature is not available or not working properly. Users cannot create dependent tasks or link tasks to each other.
Tichaona Redemptor R. · Chief information officer · Information Technology and Services · February 22, 2024
Pros: First, I like the workflow management features of Hive It comes with project planing and makes remote work easy It comes with task and project management features.
Cons: Hive offers all we need for workflow management and no dislikes.
Atendi M. · IT Manager · Information Technology and Services · February 1, 2024
Really useful tools at a very reasonable price. Enhances collaboration and comms across the organisation.
Pros: Love the way this is set up with varied views. Teams view is the most useful for me - I love that you can track actions as they pass between teams. Bonus is that the Gantt does allow a great overview.
Cons: Not great for time tracking and then getting an overview of your time for the day or week over all projects.
Francesca P. · Digital Marketing Manager · Marketing and Advertising · January 22, 2024
We were looking for an affordable solution for our project management and we found it in hive. It does "almost" everything we need and we use it on a weekly basis. It helps us keep track of each item that needs to be handled in a particular file.
Pros: It was pretty simple to onboard our team and also simple to create a workflow system.
Cons: I think we need a more robust notification system to keep track of project tasks.
Anthony Z. · Attorney · Law Practice · November 30, 2023
I found hive to be an efficient platform for keeping track of my projects. I have several complex projects going at any one time and it's important for me to keep track of all the moving parts. Hive helped me do this in an easy and efficient way.
Pros: I like the clean and simple UI and the intuitive navigation that make finding my way around the platform easy.
Cons: The sign-up process wasn't as smooth and quick as I'e like.
