Jira vs Hive

Jira is an agile-based project management platform that caters to a vast range of industries thanks to its all-in-one functionality, customization and flexibility. It allows users to fully customize workflows, issue types, fields and automations.After watching a few tutorials, I personally found it quite simple to create my own projects using the templates and modifying it to meet my needs. Although some of the automation actions and issues have some programming language involved, it’s not a huge roadblock and I created and tested multiple automations successfully.Task (or issue) management was on point, with multiple views, custom workflows, task assignment, in-card collaboration and time tracking and custom fields. It offered comprehensive (but not overly advanced) reports and a helpful summary dashboard.Sprints were intuitive and easy to execute, and I especially appreciated the drag-and-drop feature for planning. Some users mentioned a learning curve, and I would agree, as I relied on videos to guide me through some parts of the setup lest this test take weeks not days.Overall, Jira is a match made in heaven for agile enthusiasts and users who want a flexible, customizable project management platform and don’t mind getting into the weeds with learning courses and tutorials.

Hive is a user-friendly solution that offers a multitude of features like project planning, file sharing, task management automation, project views, reporting, scheduling and more. Time and project tracking help manage team utilization and resource allocation. Users can converse with individuals or groups and collaborate with clients using integrated tools. Users can organize and prioritize tasks based on color, tags, projects and schedules. Many reviewers noted that its mobile application is a downside and could benefit from an upgrade to its functions. Finding training is difficult; however support teams are responsive with queries and help, especially during initial set-up.
