Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a good solution for us when it comes to metadata implementation. It's beneficial to have metadata stored in Hive.""It excels in handling diverse data formats and is particularly beneficial for constructing a data lake for companies with mixed data types, such as videos and structured data."

More Hive Pros →

"Technical support is very responsive - particularly on critical tickets.""The scheduling and the customization are very powerful.""We are able to know what we are doing, how much we have spent, how much time we've taken, and it tells us how much money is left for the project. It also tells us whether we are below or above our expenditures, whether we are below or above our budget.""Microsoft Project Server helps organizations in collaboration.""Deliverables List: Most useful to enable meaningful status reporting at an enterprise level.""Technical support is good.""The product is user-friendly.""The key things are managing interactions, resource allocation, resource-leveling (enterprise) and as a collaborative tool, because we use it across multiple projects at a time."

Cons
"For smaller datasets, it may not be as suitable, and its performance might not be optimal.""In future releases, I would also like to see AI implementation."

More Hive Cons →

"It has to be more user-friendly. For instance, there should be some assistance, like when you go to certain sites, people pop up and say, "Can we help you? What are you looking for?" It's not interactive enough.""In terms of tech support, it took a long time for them to resolve a ticket.""The solution must provide Agile and AI features.""There are certain shortcomings in the documentation part where improvements are required.""The reporting aspects can be improved, which is one of the reasons why I'm using Qlik Sense. In the older on-prem versions, reporting was lackluster, to say the least. Project Online has a better handle on that. However, we will still be using Qlik Sense. We're also looking at an add-on app from a company called OnePlan that adds some additional functionality where Microsoft is not as clean in its approach for things such as portfolio management and some of the trends analysis.""Stability of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""When we started using this solution from scratch, we got lost. Microsoft should provide some templates for configurations for certain use cases.""Work needs to be done on collaboration with SharePoint."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is an open-source solution."
  • More Hive Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I think they need more flexibility with licensing, because there are preconceived ideas that don't allow as much flexibility with the various licenses."
  • "The licensing was procured before my involvement."
  • "It has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
  • "It is on the expensive side."
  • "There is a licensing cost."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution."
  • "I cannot comment on the price as I was not responsible for purchasing the solution."
  • "I'm not quite sure about the licensing costs. We're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of about 80,000 to 90,000 a year for our current on-prem because we handle our own licensing. As far as Project Online is concerned, we're still trying to get a good handle on that. It looks like it is going to be in a neighborhood of about 120,000 to 150,000 a year, but we're getting a lot more capability out of it."
