Alternatives Considered

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.
For me, the competitors do not have the level of add-ons like the document annotating and video feedback that Hive gave.

Likelihood to Recommend

Hive was incredibly well suited to the work we did across tv productions that had a number of episodes. We worked with the Hive team to make sure that the platform worked for us which made a huge difference. I was able to track, remind, and notify team members of when items needed to be delivered, edited, or approved without barraging other people with notifications.
