Hive is a decent alternative project management app with a variety of add-ons that can extend the platform's functionality upon need. We can do a lot more with a single tool that has a lot of features in it. We can also integrate with other tools to input data and work on projects.
  • Great project management tool for our team
  • Automations makes work done quickly
  • Offers multiple views including kanban view one of my most preferred
Cons
  • More designs and templates needed
  • Data export option is missing. Needed file export for local backup
If you want to move onto another platform, Hive is one platform that offers multiple features. It's an extremely useful tool for teamwork and collaboration, as we can invite other people to take part. The product has really helped us with its automation ability, which allows us to complete tasks on time.

Really glad we switched to Hive

We transitioned to Hive this year as a project management tool to replace our previous provider. We needed a platform that offered a full-featured project management tool, editable request forms and a robust proofing and approval environment. Hive has all the features and more. We are using it as a department-wide hub for planning and production. It has centralized several aspects of our business that had previously been siloed from one another.
  • Project management - supports several views (Kanban, Gantt, list, etc.).
  • Editable request forms.
  • Very robust proofing and review environment - handles video as well.
  • Great communication features for updates and collaboration.
Cons
  • Client management process takes a little getting used to.
  • Cannot attach multiple files to a project request.
  • Mobile app is just not there (yet).
Hive will fit right in to any workflow that manages multiple projects. It's also a great fit for collaboration on a per-project basis as external users can collaborate with paid users. Across a very large team it would take more planning on how to fit multiple workflows and groups into the workspace but it can be done.

Hive - A great choice of project management tool for distributed teams

We were using Hive for our project management as it is a great project management tool. These are the following use cases Hive solved for us
  • Task tracking: Hive allowed out users to create and track tasks, assign them to team members, and set deadlines.
  • Collaboration: Hive includes tools for team communication and collaboration, including a team chat feature, the ability to share files and documents, and the ability to leave comments and feedback on tasks.
  • Project planning: Hive offers tools for project planning, including the ability to create and track project timelines, create and assign tasks, and manage resources.
  • Integration: Hive can be integrated with a variety of other tools and services, such as Google Calendar, Slack, and Trello, to allow teams to work seamlessly across different platforms.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Integration with other tools: Hive integrates with a wide variety of other tools and services in the Hadoop ecosystem, such as Pig, Spark, and HBase, allowing users to perform a wide range of data analysis and management tasks.
Cons
  • 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 optimised for simple queries on large datasets, but may struggle with more complex queries or queries that require multiple joins or subqueries.
  • Data management: While Hive supports a wide variety of data formats and storage options, it may not offer as many advanced data management features as some other tools, such as data partitioning and indexing.
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.

Hive is a good one to try, but try a bit before you buy

Hive was intended to help us streamline communications around complex processes. It was meant to replace several other tools that we use for the same purposes, and consolidate our work information into a single avenue for truth. We planned to use it to plan web improvement, construction, audiovisual, content creation, and exhibition development projects.
  • Email integration
  • Review workflows
  • Attractive UI
Cons
  • Resource management
  • Inflexible toolbars
  • Filters
Hive is great for workflows that need approvals and reviews. Hive allows you to upload files and then review and comment on those files in a sophisticated manner. This is absolutely the number one feature I would say. IF this is not something you need, then a tool like ClickUp might suit you better, as it is more feature rich but has a steeper learning curve at first.

Very smooth layout and great to have coworkers collaborate remotely!

We used Hive to manage a one-off weeks-long project within our marketing space. We had people located in multiple offices in the country, and we wanted coworkers to be able to contribute in real time just like if they were all in the office. Hive offered everything we needed across all their solutions/features to help us do that: checklists, tracking, deadline management, etc. all highly collaborative. It made us feel like we were using a "real" physical whiteboard.
  • Customization
  • Very smooth layout across interfaces
  • Supports multiple formats like videos
Cons
  • Many functionalities, which is great but can be confusing
  • Learning curve is required before using full capabilities
  • A clear list with all options or an effective search function would be helpful, as some options are in sub-menus
Relying on Hive really permitted us to move swiftly and effectively across a project, which would not have been possible without it due to current remote working models. A lot of our team members work in different cities or sometimes in different countries/timezones so it would have been impossible to have everyone working together in the same room.
