It is incredibly inaccessible for the neurodiverse because of it's poor design. It takes a long time to learn and is quite glitchy. I frequently encounter problems and it is difficult to work out whether each problem is due to a Hive glitch or a user error because of the poor UI. It's a total time sink and makes me want to quit my job. > > An unmitigated horror story of misery and despair. Completely unsuitable for managing multiple complex jobs with many moving parts. A very poor piece of software for granular time management. It has lots of potentially good features but they are all so badly and confusingly designed. It could potentially be very useful and powerful but they need to completely revamp their UI design philosophy to make it easy and consistent. It feels very outdated and not well joined up. ----- ### "Hive review" — 4.0/5 > **Riley** | *23 February 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoy using this app with my team. It makes it easy to manage files and tasks between coworkers. Good app. > > **Cons**: I least like the amount of bugs the app has. It is hard to use this app because of it. They need to fix it. > > I enjoy using this app with my coworkers because we can securely send documents back and forth. I dislike the amount of bugs. ----- ### "Good for project planning" — 4.0/5 > **Mitchell** | *02 May 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hive made it easy to communicate with teams about various projects in one place with little to no effort > > **Cons**: Hive at times felt limited in its options for specificity and it was hard to navigate the UI > > Relatively positive with some slight issues, overall it was great for the team to use all at once ----- ### "Development Done Very Wrong" — 1.0/5 > **Jeff** | *22 May 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: If you complain about Hive enough you'll get a thirsty email from Hive's \[sensitive content hidden\] asking for free advice. > > **Cons**: Hive proudly proclaims itself "the world's first democratic project management platform," then goes on to explain, "That means that our product is built by users, for users, via feedback on our Forum." What it actually means is not only do they expect end users to beta test their unfinished software but also that they expect those end users to pay for the privilege. The backlog of bugs that users have reported via their forum is five years long. They have no plans to actually fix anything; instead they're obsessed with addeing "new" features that are really just re-packaged old features that never worked right and still don't. Hive somehow manages to fail at even the simplest functions of basic project management. For example, if the dates for a project shift back a week, you have to manually change the date for every single action and subaction in that project. Unless, that is, you pay for an add-on tool that lets you automate that. But you'll have to program it yourself. And it probably won't work anyway. Because they didn't bother to test if the automate tool and they're using you, the paying user, as a guinea pig. > > Hive more than doubles the amount of tedious, manual data entry required for every project. Most of my team actively avoids using Hive as much as possible. Instead we rely on spreadsheets and email to do literally everything Hive can do but better, faster, and with less training. Then we just mark everything complete in Hive so it looks like we're using it. ----- ### "Easy and Useful Tool for Managing Projects" — 4.0/5 > **Mahi** | *11 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface of Hive is clear and easy to use and The task management system is highly well organized and has useful views like Kanban, Gantt, and Calendar. 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. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/150991/hive?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/150991/hive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
