Hive

Avantages

Hive is versatile, customizable, and easy to use to track the completion of projects and tasks. The simple fact that you can instantly convert a project from Kanban style to a calendar view is incredible.

Inconvénients

The arrangement of the projects at the top isn't ideal.

Avantages

* 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

Inconvénients

* 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.

Avantages

I really like how organized Hive is designed and the ability the create custom views. The program is feature-rich, with templates, timers, snooze, priority, Slack, Google drive and GitHub integrations, time tracking, and resource management. Hive has really useful built-in apps like News, which we use to keep our office up-to-date with the latest changes. New features are being added all the time so it's exciting to see them grow. Also, current features are being improved upon which is great.

Inconvénients

I wish I could invite "Lite" users, that are cheaper to add, but who can view and edit only selected tickets.

Avantages

I've used Hive for managing some of my personal projects. I've used templates, which can be customized, and helped me in creating detailed project plans & workflows. Also timetracking on tasks, projects is a feature I used greatly.

Inconvénients

The cost was on a higher side for a small B2B SAAS startup. Also I've felt the UI and system to be a bit complicated. There was a steep learning curve to learn things I believe, which I didn't attempted at that time.

Avantages

This software allows to handle multiple projects. It offers many useful features to setup and track tasks with team. It's very easy to use and time saving tool.

Inconvénients

Sometimes i noticed that realtime notifications makes issue. Otherwise it's perfect for projects management.

Avantages

Keeps me organized. I love how there are templates for actions so I never miss a step.

Inconvénients

White font on actions makes it hard to read. Not enough colors for projects.

Avantages

I really enjoy all the options Hive offers, but I especially love their customer service team which always replies fast and does their best to make our feature requests come to life. I highly recommend Hive!

Inconvénients

As of today nothing. We were missing a template option, but as far as I can see, the solution went live today

Avantages

It's really customizable. You can view the same project in a lot of different ways. It also great that you have a bunch of separate projects, but can view them all together with summary view. There are just so many options that it really fits the needs of my whole team.

Inconvénients

I wish there were more integrations, but I think they are working on adding more. Also, I would love if they could add time tracking, but besides that there isn't too much I dislike. I had some trouble figuring out the new forms feature, but the customer support team was really helpful in getting that resolved.

Avantages

It's a good task manager, especially if you work in teams. If you set your preferences correctly, you can view and have others view what you're working on, and collaborate in different projects. You can add attachments and comments to tasks, making it easier than sending emails with attachments or links to cloud services. it saves a lot of time and it's very convenient. It's the best task manager I've ever used.

Inconvénients

The mobile app is very bad, useless. (There are 2 versions of it—both of them are bad.) So if you're looking to add/manage tasks from your phone, forget it. The most you'll be able to do is see what you're working on, but not make any changes.

Avantages

We've expanded our internal team by a third in the past few months, and we needed a tool that would allow us to work more closely on a large number of short- and long-term projects. Hive does a fantastic job of allowing us to communicate progress and share files and news in a highly organized way.

Inconvénients

It can be a challenge to set up projects because as soon as you assign team members to tasks, they get alerts! We have to create the projects and times first, then assign roles at the end to avoid an avalanche of notices going out to the team.

Avantages

It's very user intuitive. As a new user I have been able to pick up and user the application rather quickly and with little training. I especially like the forms function as I have been able to reduce the amount of attachments I send via email by having other users complete required form information right in Hive and then attach this information directly to a project.

Inconvénients

I haven't found anything that I do not like about the application.

Avantages

The ability to view projects from multiple layouts (eg calendar, status, gantt).

Inconvénients

With so many options, it took a little while for our team to function on the same page.

Avantages

This software helped us increase our communication with each other throughout the office. Before using Hive we emailed everything and our communication was severely lacking. Now, using Hive, we communicate more frequently!

Inconvénients

At first, it took a little to get used to the task manager. Once I figured it out it was really easy to use and everything seemed to flow much more easily.

Avantages

I am in love with this software. It helps our team manage tasks, request and give approvals, chat with each other, and connect our email. There are so many functions that just make this software the best I've used.

Inconvénients

I have only been using Hive for a short amount of time and I have not found any cons yet. I am still learning all it has to offer.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

I actually enjoyed using Hive. It relieved a lot of stress from my job. It offered more flexability. I am no longer tied to an office or specific time If I do not want to be. Hive enables me to communicate with my team remotely. It handles pretty much all aspects of a project. From conception to completion.

Inconvénients

There was a learning curve for me. I can usually jump right in with new software this took a little more time and effort not too much though.

Avantages

My favorite is the project management Aspect

Inconvénients

Didn’t like the integration wasn’t too good

Avantages

Pros
Seamless use among team that definitely improves overall efficiency and effectiveness
Ease of use (even for less tech savvy)
Data analytics for the more curious/ math minded

Inconvénients

No negatives, if you have a concern tell the Hive team. They’ll hear you and do their due diligence to remedy whatever concern you have.

Avantages

I love Hive so much because this is the perfect tool for me and my team. It's like trello and slack in one! The task cards are easy to navigate. Assigning or tagging people to the tasks is not complicated at all. The forms are being used for our clients' job requests and it works great.

Inconvénients

App and browser - sometimes logging in is hard because it loads really slow. Some of my team members are always complaining that they cannot log in to hive, just seeing plain white background. I hope you can improve that.

Avantages

Easy to assign tasks to other members of the team

Inconvénients

People tend to forget or ignore the tasks. Notifications can be annoying

Avantages

It's like Trello but better. Very easy to collab with team members.

Inconvénients

Occasionally I run into login issues. Also I will leave my workspace for a short period of time only to come back and find that I've been logged out

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Very easy to use. Provides you with different perspectives on your project / tasks.

Inconvénients

Mobile app was not the best. When we asked about it - they said 'a new app would be coming'. Notifications were unreliable.

Avantages

The ease of use, the functionality it has and the ability to talk to the team within the same app.

Inconvénients

The chat constantly messed up and either didn't show messages or just didn't notify me. On mobile, I wouldn't receive any notifications at all, instead only got these (sometimes) on the desktop version, which was a huge pain when i was away from the office.

Avantages

The ability to create actions and sub-actions for a project / event, adding due dates. Different views, news feed section, ability to change text design.

Inconvénients

Being able to print off selections / parts exel sheets and not all together.

Avantages

How easy it is to see the progress, or lack, of progress of a project. The analytics part is also very helpful especially the time spend on different task.

Inconvénients

The phone version is slow. I would like to be log in in my account instead of having to log on all the time.

Avantages

The software is complex it has every feature you'll ever need.

Inconvénients

It was too much for our projects, don't get me wrong is a good piece of software but it can overwhelm you with all the features, there are other more simple, so it just depends on your projects.

Avantages

It was a great product for using use it it's self explanation

Inconvénients

To many users with they own opinion to much true and false information

Avantages

Very easy to use & simple navigation. Simple software & great interface.

Inconvénients

Lack of integrations with things like Google Calendar and Zoho.

Avantages

The syntax of hive! Its almost SQL so its easy to use.
External tables, partitions, buckets, UDFs all the features I like to use with hive. ORC data format occupying lesser space and retrieving the data much faster.
The Hive is intended to simplify your experience with Hadoop and allows developers and business analyst apply their SQL knowledge to query data, build reports, build etl etc.
To be able to run map reduce jobs using json parsing and generate dynamic partitions in parquet file format.

Inconvénients

Hive is comparatively slower than its competitors. Its easy to use but that comes with the cost of processing, If you are using it just for batch processing then hive is well and fine. It also does not have as rich of a scripting language.

Avantages

Good design idea and easy to use

Inconvénients

Not very reliable yet as it sometimes fails to work as expected, looks like they have some bugs to sort out

Avantages

It helps the business talk more, but without the formality emails can bring. Email still important, but Hive is great for announcements, general chat, and personal organisation (to-do lists)

Inconvénients

Took a while for it to work in speedy fashion on our network, but that's been sorted. Only thing I'd change right now is, on the news feed page, it'd be useful to have a function that allows you to search or filter - as you can often miss important announcements (say about people leaving) as before you know it 3 or 4 other posts have buried it. So a filter allowing you to view only "people" posts or only "events" posts for instance would be handy.

Avantages

Flexibility for just a task or an entire project. Also like the public and private options.

Inconvénients

Sometimes I lose things! But that is probably me needing to use filters more efficiently. Also, if you check off a completed task within a project, it removes it from the project - so attaching files to the project (not the task) keep them accessible for length of project.

Avantages

We used to use slack for everything. Hive makes categorizing simple, follow up simple, project implementation simple and overall we have found it to better fit our needs since stumbling upon it.

Inconvénients

I have found that this is a very crowded space to be a business in, however hive has taken the niche from each competitor and found its own niche. I would say that is key for them. Keep thinking big, don’t simplify the product too much, it’s so so useful.

Avantages

I love that I can have actions/subactions for projects with the appropriate team members assigned, and that in the review process we are able to implement multiple stages, and that all creates a record of progress throughout a particular job.

Inconvénients

Can be hard to get all team members using things in the same way, and that can make things messy. But I do not believe that to be a software issue unless it is just too customizable.

Avantages

Ease of use, ability to use Kanban boards

Inconvénients

Can't say for sure. But I would like to have mobile apps

Avantages

The organizational methods, grouping actions into their progress status, and viewing actions of all the members makes working together as a small company much easier.

Inconvénients

That projects do not immediately show up on the pinned bar to all members that can view the group and that there isn't a more consolidated area to specifically attach files in each project.

Avantages

I love hive, because is very easy to use, it is very compatible with users, and it allows me to see the tasks that I have programs

Inconvénients

Actually there is nothing that I do not like, since it is what we have really had very organized in the company.

Avantages

There are many platforms for organization and everyone has many different types of processes. With Hive we managed employer partnerships, customers, and development items all in a single application.

Inconvénients

I'm not sure if this is an actual negative, but I wish it was cheaper

Pourquoi choisir Hive 

Logiciel antérieur 

Avantages

A client of mine asked me to use this for his startup, and I later actually thanked him. 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.

Inconvénients

The integration options wasn't that great for me, as I do a lot of it. And, probably could borrow some more features from others.

Avantages

I like that I can connect my Hive accessories with my Alexa-equipped accessories and controls features like light tone and brightness.

Inconvénients

I don't fully understand why my Hive devices can't connect straight to my Alexa devices, rather than going through the Hive system, but that has more to do with my limited understanding of these technologies than with Hive itself.

Avantages

The company I work for recently started implementing Hive as a project management tool for all departments and organization has improved significantly. Hive is easy to use and he UI is very straight to the point, it keeps your daily tasks at hand and helps bridge the gap between departments.

Inconvénients

The desktop versión takes a while to load on some computers, which can be annoying when in a hurry.

Avantages

I love that everyone at the office can interact and follow up their on-going activities and everyone can see on real time what's going on. I really like that I can also measure everybody's productivity and accomplishments. I love all the tools and views that you can get to see the information that's on the table at the time.

Inconvénients

I think what i liked the least was that i had it maybe a little bit rough to get started with, but once i got to understand it, this is a tool that has a great potencial. The app is weak i guess, since a work a lot on my phone and ipad i think the app has a lot of opportunities to work with.

Avantages

It’s very convenient to use as a team and for all tasks and can be coordinated between teams very well.

Inconvénients

I like everything about the software including team user friendly.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

It is a very good product, apart from the fact that it is a time-consuming product to install.

Avantages

Hive is great for memorializing steps in project management and appropriating tasks.

Inconvénients

Creating timelines and amending them can be difficult.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

Not enough people know about it!

Avantages

I used this product frequently in my old position. Though I no longer use it as much as before, I still help out the person who took over for me. Hive makes it so easy to review and provide feedback to my coworker. It doesn't take long for me to take a look at what is currently taking place, and if I'm asked any questions, I can use Hive to quickly respond. What's most valuable is the ability to organize!

Inconvénients

I wish there was a way to pick and choose alerts. There are some projects I'd like to follow, but there are too many alerts to feasibly keep up with.

Avantages

Has so many features and integrations! Incredibly easy to use and there is so much flexibility in what you can do with it. They are always improving the product!! I absolutely love that you can message with your team in the same place! It eliminated us having to use two different softwares such as Slack and Asana.

Inconvénients

Nothing to not like! Hive is incredible!

Avantages

It has a lot of features for project management and integrates well with your email. The chat function is also convenient and the mobile app is handy too.

Inconvénients

There are some aspects of Hive that are a bit annoying. For example, "future" actions aren't actually future actions. If you set up an action with a start date of next week, it doesn't show up as a future action. The only way to set the action as a future action is to snooze it. So, "future" actions aren't really future actions but are just snoozed actions.
