One key difference between Hive and Spark is the way they process data. Hive is a batch-oriented system, which means that it is designed to process large amounts of data in a batch mode rather than in real-time.
In contrast, Spark is a real-time processing platform that is …

Hive's layout was much smoother and nicer to use.
Chose Hive
More user-friendly. Able to quickly get users adopted and utilizing the platform versus Planview. More intuitive, especially for the user that is not familiar with project management software. This platform was built for everyday users.

Great Project Management platform to Organize and manage workflow processes. Did not explore a lot as our requirements were matched

Hive is a bit different than Jira and Monday, which I used mostly. Overall does a great job managing project and helps with team communication. Removes dependency of asking team members for updates by going to conference rooms. With Hive, the team updates the status, and we …
Chose Hive
Hive did what these other tools do. It has Kanban boards, Gantt views, timeline views, reporting, task management, and file uploads. While it is not as feature rich at the lowest subscription level as some of these others, its interface is quite a bit less overwhelming than say …
Chose Hive
  1. Easier to deploy
  2. Better UI/UX
  3. Easy to customize
Chose Hive
Hive for me felt more complex and granular in comparison to other competitors which was a good thing. I enjoyed the layout of viewing projects, the way it integrated timesheets, resourcing, and budgets together, and worked really well to help track episodes and projects.

So far Hive is the total package for our needs. Offering request forms and proofing/approval out of the box without third party integrations has been a huge upgrade for us along with incredibly reasonable pricing. The support for onboarding has been fantastic and we haven't …
Chose Hive
I would say that in comparison to Asana, Hive is a better interface an UI. I think Asana is more robust in terms of what it can do in conjunction with Confluence but I think Hive is a better entry-level model for new employees. Hive is much simpler and more straight forward and …

Hive Technology
Hive is a powerful tool for data analysis and management that is well-suited for a wide range of scenarios. Here are some specific examples of scenarios where Hive might be particularly well-suited: Data warehousing: Hive is often used as a data warehousing platform, allowing users to store and analyze large amounts of structured and semi-structured data. It is especially good at handling data that is too large to be stored and analyzed on a single machine, and supports a wide variety of data formats. Batch processing: Hive is designed for batch processing of large datasets, making it well-suited for tasks such as data ETL (extract, transform, load), data cleansing, and data aggregation.Simple queries on large datasets: Hive is optimized for simple queries on large datasets, making it a good choice for tasks such as data exploration and summary statistics. Data transformation: Hive allows users to perform data transformations and manipulations using custom scripts written in Java, Python, or other programming languages. This can be useful for tasks such as data cleansing, data aggregation, and data transformation. On the other hand, here are some specific examples of scenarios where Hive might be less appropriate: Real-time queries: Hive is a batch-oriented system, which means that it is designed to process large amounts of data in a batch mode rather than in real-time. While it is possible to use Hive for real-time queries, it may not be the most efficient choice for this type of workload. Complex queries: Hive is optimized for simple queries on large datasets, but may struggle with more complex queries or queries that require multiple joins or subqueries.Very large datasets: While Hive is designed to scale horizontally and can handle large amounts of data, it may not scale as well as some other tools for very large datasets or complex workloads.

Pros
Hive Technology
  • Simplicity, it offers a clean environment without risking the outcome. An example of this are the timesheets that allow a fast way to keep track of progress
  • Interaction, the different options make it faster and easier to interact and collaborate in the development of a product. An example of this would be Hive Notes for meetings
  • The different visualisations it offers allow to explore the best ways to affront your projects. I really like the Gantt mappings view to understand who can be contacted at each point

Cons
Hive Technology
  • Organizing tasks by assignees could be better. It's a little cumbersome to check off each person you want. Can you group these?
  • I don't really use any view besides task view. Is there something better I could be using?
  • It would be nice if attachments showed up in a nicer format, maybe with a preview?

Hive Technology
Our CSR is easily accessible and they have support built into the app itself. They also have a pretty robust support site. We also took advantage of the free trial and learned so much by putting Hive through the paces and figuring out the best way to mold it to our needs.
