The hive team does its utmost to keep up with new technologies > > **Cons**: For the time being, I have not found anything that could be improved. An added value would be 3D, but they are already working on that. ----- ### "Een heel goede configurator - met een heel grebruiksvriendelijke interface" — 4.0/5 > **Geert** | *14 June 2021* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Makkelijk te gebruiken, werkt op ieder platform, jen kan het heel erg goed uitbreiden naar nieuwe producten/productgroepen. Integratie met bestelsysteem > > **Cons**: Soms zijn er wel problemen met updates, de data van de verschillende bronnen moeten heel goed op mekaar worden afgesteld > > Al mijn klanten zitten op grote afstand, en in andere tijdszones, dankzij Hive kunnen zij op ieder moment hun offertes aanmaken, en ook bestellingen plaatsen in ons systeem, dit heeft een heel positieve invloed op de "ease of doing business" met onze firma. Ik denk dat wij de eerste gebruiker waren van Hive met ons, merk Dynaco, en nu hebben onze andere 2 merken, Ditec en Nergeco ook deze module, dus hieruit blijkt dat zowel wij als onze klanten heel tevreden zijn met het systeem ----- ### "More than just a software tool" — 5.0/5 > **Wim** | *28 May 2021* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: To begin with, Hive's online CPQ platform does what it is expected to do: it provides an intuitive and simple but very powerful tool to optimize and boost our sales process. We use the tool for the configuration of radiators, which is complex and requires the necessary expertise. Now this can be done in a fraction of the time and is technically always correct. Also important are the implementation process and -time, plus the good communication and cooperation with the Hive people. The finitial integration was completed in just over two months, and we have been working with it for several months to everyone's satisfaction. > > **Cons**: It is a process. Once you start with it, there are always things that can be improved. Things related to the software and/or to our own needs and customer demands. Everything can be discussed and solutions are presented in mutual consensus. ----- ### "CPQ and much more\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sebastien** | *27 May 2021* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: With Hive, our distributors can Configure a complex product, personalize the Quote and send it to their customers in a few clicks / minutes. Hive is user friendly, super fast and 99.99% uptime. With the HIVE Team, we were able to integrate it to all our systems. Thanks to their highly responsive support\! > > **Cons**: The integration was not the easiest part, our applications were not HIVE ready, but HIVE Specialists are ready for everything. ----- ### "Review by Jochen Somers (Entrematic HPD)" — 5.0/5 > **Jochen** | *27 May 2021* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hive CPQ is very easy to use for the end users. They are using the latest technologies, it's easy to integrate with other systems using their REST API's and it works well on different browsers and platforms. The product configurator offers a lot of flexibility. > > **Cons**: Some settings are still missing (like the permission to allow or disallow the user to put an order in step 3/4) - but it's a new product and more functionality is still being added. > > Hive CPQ is an easy to use product, they have a skilled and professional team and offer good support. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/242033/hive-cpq?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/242033/hive-cpq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
