Great management asset
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it to improve teamwork by creating the oportunity to interact with others in a space that is not as strict as the internal platform, we get a way to visualize the status of the job being done. As it has the proof option it's faster to interact and edit. When we have an organizing-next-steps kind of meeting its easy to keep notes in a collaborative way and to fix the steps to take in a list.
Pros
- 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
- The first steps were confusing, it gets some time to adapt to some of the tools.
- The labels of status could be easier to change, when you are used to it is OK but newcomers tend to mess them up
Return on Investment
- I've gotten to know my colleagues better, knowing their roles makes it faster to contact them to complete tasks and that speed makes us optimize and earn better results
- The jobs speed made us focus on optimization and customization for the client, and that in a better treatment by the client and better revenue
- We can understand which tasks takes more time and to stimate better what we can ask for

Great User Friendly Collaborative Tool.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
A helpful tool for individuals to manage projects and tasks. This platform is heavily user-focused, which allows for greater adoption and flexibility of the software. Great platform to help streamline work and low-code options for forms and automation. However, very little thought was given to the Enterprise level and reporting. It is very hard to get a high-level overview of what projects are in the space.
Pros
- Hive Forms - low code form building for quick delivery.
- Different views - user can select between Kanban view or Table view.
- Automation Capabilities - can build automation features without the need for a developer.
Cons
- No universal Admin role - makes Data governance and integrity hard to maintain.
- No visibility at an Executive Level - platform tailored to one user versus an organization.
- Not consistent within the product - one app might have a feature, but you cannot use that feature outside the app space.
Return on Investment
- Positive user adoption - have more users utilizing this platform than previous predecessors.
- Unable to have an ROI as unable to successfully report up to Executive Management - this most likely will have us moving away from this platform.

- 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
Return on Investment
