Manage projects your way—Gantt charts, Kanban boards, calendars, or tables—while your team communicates in real-time through built-in chat and collaborative notes. Track time, manage resources, set goals, and get approvals without leaving the platform. What makes Hive different: native integrations with Salesforce and email let you connect project work to customer data and conversations. Hive's AI assistant, Buzz, automates routine work and answers questions using your actual workspace data—not generic responses. With 1,000+ integrations, customizable workflows, pre-built templates, and analytics dashboards, Hive scales from small teams to enterprise deployments. Available on web, desktop, and mobile. > > Verdict: Rated **4.4/5** by 219 users.

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. > > 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. ----- ### "Project Management Made Easy" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *17 June 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "They actually listen to their users\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jess** | *3 September 2019* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think the best thing about Hive is they take your feedback seriously. I suggested a feature that really impacts my day-to-day use of Hive and they actually implemented it. They even reached out to me after it was pushed live to let me know that they implemented it. It was so nice to be heard and to have my feedback appreciated and implemented. > > **Cons**: I still have some issues with notifications. I find the differences between "My notifications" and "Activity feed" to be very confusing and arbitrarily segmented. ----- ### "A contender for the worst software" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 September 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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**: Fundamental functions lacking included: cut, copy, paste ,undo (if software does not have these features working, run don’t walk from it) Did not do their homework and as a result were missing many standard features. For instance: minor but expected: no total of comments in a route reviewing WIP deliverable (people want to know a review’s progress, counting 70 comments to inform the team is wasteful: feature was later added) Reacting to complaints by adding features weekly indicates bad programming with poor planning. It’s not acceptable because…. New features = risk of new bugs - and hive’s weekly upgrades resulted in constant bugs, which incurred 2-5 wasted hours of each users time weekly spent documenting and finding work-arounds. We could not trust the software. Heres just a few of the continuous stream of bugs that would suddenly occur, a non-ending assault, boggling comprehension. -In the timeline list view suddenly all days of the week disappeared. The feature was reinstated in a week or 2, but only moving forward. In all previous timelines the days stayed missing -This was crazy ; in timelines suddenly all line items reading ‘Client Review’ literally dropped to the bottom after in market date.so there was a stack of clients reviews after the project ended. We had to drag them back into position. Fun times\! -Suddenly but randomly, teams review routes started to freeze. The status of the supposedly current reviewer would read “reviewing” far too long. I would contact them for status and find they were not reviewing and often did not have that Hive project open. The notification that it was their turn was not received. To get the route working when that happened, I has to delete all reviewers which would remove approvals. The team members on the route had to be manually re-entered. The bug evolved and started mixing up the reviewer data. For instance it would insert my name reviewing for the Account team. I was project management…same work-around delete reviewers and re-enter.. I could go on and on. I was tasked to write up the issues our agency wanted to retire hive. However removal would be hard as someone purchased hive for every omnicom agency. I’m not sure what happened. My first company-wide software dev project was in 1991 for Atlantic records tracking sales in real time. Since then i have managed 12 similar scale software dev projects. My hive experience reminded me of one where we inherited partially done development whose code was so ill-conceived the fix was trash it and start over. > > It did not provide a positive working experience and promoted user-anxiety at the agency. ----- ### "Great Value and Effective Team Collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Brooks** | *9 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Hive is its ability to bring project management, team collaboration, and workflow tracking into a single platform. It helps teams stay organized by keeping tasks, deadlines, files, and conversations all in one place. > > **Cons**: There aren’t any cons about Hive. I have never had any issues with this software and it’s been super helpful\! > > Hive provides good VALUE FOR MONEY by combining project management and collaboration tools in one platform. The LEARNING CURVE is reasonable, and the software offers strong SECURITY features. Its Email Notifications help keep teams informed about updates, tasks, and deadlines, making collaboration more efficient. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/56546/hive?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/56546/hive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
