This looks really cool, like Slack but with more organization and less BS. Does an entire org need to adopt this or can smaller teams use it and integrate with existing tools (like Slack, etc)?
John Furneaux
@rynonl Great question - we have whole companies on Hive, and teams within companies. Both work great. Hive integrates beautifully with Slack and a ton of other platforms!
Eric Typaldos
@rynonl The Slack integration is great - once integrated you can easily drag & drop actions from Hive to your channels/DMs to share, one-click access them from Hive, and create items using slash commands. You can find the integration here: https://slack.com/apps/A1X4WCTD0... Let us know if you have any questions and we're happy to help :)

I love Hive's clean interface. It's just more appealing to look at! And I'm super excited to explore the analytics/productivity insights.

Pros:

Love the UI -- so clean! Super excited to play with the analytics!

Cons:

I'd love to see some cool examples =)

Mark Macdonald
Been using Hive since the beta, and have been really impressed with the simplicity and flexibility of the platform. As Thom Yorke would say, everything in its right place! The team is super responsive to feedback too. Excited to see what's coming down the pipe!
Eric Typaldos
@markofmac we're happy to have you as one of our "hipster" customers Mark :) thanks for the positive feedback!

On-boarding with Hive was incredibly easy. Especially as a busy employee, you want to rely on tools that make your workflow easier and quicker and not add another layer of learning. I loved how I didn't have to toggle between a million different tabs and the communication between cross-office, global teams was made seamless!

Pros:

Easy to onboard, communication is super easy and it's great for tracking project status

Cons:

None!

Great product, sound like a very easy to adopt learning curve. I cant stop giving my thoughts on B2B targeting, here are few:- - Potentially reach out to companies that are actively hiring "project managers". You can top this up with industry as a qualifier. Like if you have more web development agencies adopting it then focus on those as a qualifies. Actively hiring companies will have more chances of adopting it faster as they are already spending money on this function. - Companies who have recently raised funds are also great catch. More money >> more infrastructure & growth and hiring teams. Hope that helps.

Is it easy to import tasks from other tools? We are a Trello office right now, but it's not great for all departments. We are looking for a new solution. We don't want to spend a TON of time switching everything over though just to test it out.
Nate
@allyciapuzas I havent used it myself but there is built in integration for importing directly from trello automatically!

Helps getting teams on the same page in one place vs using multiple tools for communication, collaboration and projects management.

Pros:

Minimal investment to get started. Simple, intuitive.

Cons:

Some integrations might be critical in the future.

John Furneaux
Hey PH! This launch is a big step in a 12 year long dream. As frustrated young project managers, we were driven crazy by how hard it was to just get work done together, and to see overall progress. I'm beyond proud to share our answer - our existing project management platform now has powerful *predictive* analytics, based on all your Hive data. That means you don't just know who's busy this week, but who will be overloaded next week. We'll be working hard to keep making Hive a better platform to work in. Your comments and questions are super welcome and help us do that! Thanks in advance for your feedback πŸ™ John and the Hive team P.S. We are excited to offer the first 100 visitors who sign up for Hive with the code "PRODUCTHUNT" a free customized dashboard so they can get exactly the graphs they want.

@johnfurneaux Do you think that tools like this become most useful at a certain scale? e.g. when your team is >50
John Furneaux
@abadesi Great question. I thought that would be true, but then we switched on the 'individual' dashboard, and it is *fascinating*. I found out that I am most productive on a Wednesday, and need to do *much* better on Monday mornings! Even in a team of 5 people, it can be super helpful to see how long it is taking to get things done, and where the bottlenecks are. Is that useful?
Abadesi
@johnfurneaux Yes makes sense, might suggest to @rrhoover we try it out πŸ˜„
John Furneaux
@rrhoover @abadesi Happy to give you a red carpet tour! πŸ‘‘
Ryan Hoover
@johnfurneaux @abadesi tbh, I'm allergic to project management tools as I've found many teams waste time adopting new processes in search of a problem (if that makes sense). Sometimes the best tools are the most lightweight. But I'm open minded! :)
William Cameroon
Looks like a great tool
Dom Koudsi
This might seem small, but one of my favorite things when I first started using Hive is that you can toggle between layouts (team, Kanban, calendar, Gantt, etc.). Now I've been playing around with the Analytics functionality and am loving it so far. Hive adds these great touches that make it so much more useful than any other tool I've tried
John Furneaux
@domigeek Glad to hear that Dom!

I was getting swarmed with so many different platforms to coordinate work within my team... Well, that was before I found Hive! Now, my team is able to access all our tasks and files in one place. There, we have the ability to keep track on the progress we've made and delegate work more efficiently.

My only quibble previously was that the messaging was a little slow. However, after reaching out to the support team (They reply super fast btw), I was given the assurance of an improvement in performance some time during the week. To my surprise, I noticed an improvement the very next day!

I would recommend Hive to anyone out there who is in search of a productivity tool to replace all the clunky apps that they are currently buried in.

Pros:

Easy to get onboard. Improved team productivity and all my apps were now in one place!

Cons:

The ones I found were fixed by the Support & Engineering Team within a day!

Hive has been a great addition for our team and it's been well adopted. It’s saving us hours of time each week from making our lives easier around workflow, task management and reporting vs. before. Thumbs up from me and pleased to see you doing well up against the bigger names. Good work and keep up the hard work. All the best with the votes!

Pros:

Nice to look at, easy to use and the functionality continues to impove.

Cons:

None really - wouldn't want to go back to old ways of working having used this.

Slava

It would be great if there were automation tools for handling integrations.

Pros:

Great looking interface. Everything was very intuitively laid out.

Cons:

In the video at registration, it is suggested that you can integrate helpdesk software with Hive but it is not clear how to do this.

John Furneaux
Hi Vyacheslav! Good news - you can integrate helpdesk software. We use Intercom, but others work as well. Drop us a note and we'll show you how. πŸ‘
Olivia Louise
The dashboards are awesome, playing around with the sample ones now. Do I have to pay to use them after the free trial?
John Furneaux
@olivia_louise Good news - the standard dashboards are yours to keep. If you want to customize your own dashboards, you can buy a special license which means you can create and edit dashboards to your heart's content!
Nate
Adopted Hive for the back end of our brokerage a few months ago and already I cant imagine doing my job without it. Extremely malleable, allowing you to get exactly what you need out of it without being overly difficult to use or confusing. On top of that I seriously can not speak highly enough of the support team who manage to impress me with each interaction I have with them.
John Furneaux
@bardirl We are blushing over here Nate! 😊 We'll keep working hard to improve Hive each day!
Ian Rapport

The all-in-one platform is perfect to integrate the apps our team uses on a daily basis. The clean interface makes it easy to navigate and find everything I need to achieve maximum efficiency.

Pros:

Simple and easy to use, Project management is efficient and effortless

Cons:

None

Alexander Gosling

Digital at its best.

Pros:

UX is awesome!

Cons:

None

I like Hive 50% for its fuctions and 50% for its support! If our company runs into a fuction that we need, Hive goes about it in 3 ways. One they show us where it is if they already have it. Two they show us how we can use a existing fuction to serve our purpuse. Three they tell us that it has been noted and they would work on intergrating the fuction!

Pros:

Hive is a project management hub that is continuously growing in its functionalities. I love that I have everything I need.

Cons:

I can't use hive for everything! Hive is a one stop shop for a majority of project managment fuctions.

I’ve felt like my team has improved it’s communication, and I’m way more in touch with the tasks that everyone is working on.

Pros:

Awesome interface and functionality!

Cons:
