About Hive Technology, Inc.

Hive Technology, Inc. is a project management and team collaboration platform headquartered at 1 World Trade Center in New York City. The company was founded in 2016 by CEO John Furneaux to consolidate task planning, team communication, and workflow management into a single workspace, targeting marketing, operations, and product development teams.

The platform supports multiple project views including Kanban boards, Gantt charts, calendar, timeline, and table formats. Core features include time-tracking, resource management, proofing and approvals, dashboards, and reporting. In 2025, Hive launched Buzz, an AI assistant that searches, summarizes, and updates information across connected applications such as Salesforce, Slack, and email.

Competitive Landscape

Who Hive Technology, Inc. competes with, and how they differ.

Asana logo
Asana7.5/10

monday.com logo
monday.com7.5/10

monday.com centers on a highly customizable "Work OS" with a large automation/integration marketplace and tiered per-seat pricing; Hive ships a narrower, pre-bundled feature set aimed at faster setup.

ClickUp logo
ClickUp7.0/10

ClickUp pursues the broadest feature surface in the category (docs, whiteboards, goals, time tracking) at aggressive low-tier pricing; Hive is comparatively leaner and positions on ease of adoption for cross-functional teams.

1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Wrike logo
Wrike7.9/10

Wrike skews toward larger marketing and creative-ops teams with proofing/approval workflows and enterprise-grade permissions; Hive targets smaller cross-functional teams with a flatter, faster-to-adopt interface.

Smartsheet logo
Smartsheet7.9/10

Smartsheet's core interaction model is a spreadsheet grid aimed at operations and IT teams needing complex formulas and enterprise governance; Hive uses a project/board-first UI aimed at day-to-day team collaboration.

1 product reviewed on TopReviewed
Basecamp logo
Basecamp7.3/10

Basecamp charges a single flat company-wide fee and deliberately limits scope to messaging, to-dos, and files; Hive charges per seat and offers a wider feature set including native email, forms, and an AI assistant.
