    Pros
    Our community has taken to it very well, the features are a great fit for our team and our community, and the support from our account manager and the support team has been really great.
    It is was nice to work with such an experienced partner in community management, that not only offers good value for money, but also offers good advice in building a professional community platform.
    Since I am not an IT nerd, I really enjoy the user friendliness and the intuitive handling of the platform. Our alumni and student community is really happy about our new homepage.
    Cons
    However, I believe that this is something that is being developed so it's really only a growing pain that Hivebrite is adjusting to.
    It is difficult to share files for the users and in general just unclear to use. I am very much looking forward to the new mentoring module that is currently being implemented.
    It's a single platform architecture for all business users so limited customisation as all users receive the same updates/changes.

    Perfect Platform for Alumni Relations (Even a 1-Person Alumni Relations Office)!

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    I am a one-person team for my alumni relations office. The fact that I met with vendors over a three month period and then designed and launched the platform in 8 weeks means that anyone can do it and it's a very user-friendly product. I would highly recommend Hivebrite to universities to use this platform for their alumni, students, faculty, and staff engagement/professional development platform.

    Pros

    This platform is all-encompassing. It's nice because you can just turn on and off features as you need them. Most companies make you "add-on" additional modules which is expensive and annoying. The only add-ons that isn't included for Hivebrite is Mentoring and Campaigns, but these add-ons are cheap compared to other vendors. It's a very easy platform to use and brand the way you want it.

    Cons

    Your IT team or a third party vendor has to complete the API's to sync with your alumni database which has been interesting to navigate. It would be nice if Hivebrite did it all in-house for you or worked with your IT team to make it happen. You also can't archive past events or forum discussions. This would be nice so that you can clear out these sections instead of seeing everything you've ever done.

    YourMembership to Hivebrite migration

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    We needed to expand our community building effort beyond a single country, while ensuring that each entity may define different membership rates and collect fees in a separate account. The Groups and multiple Payment accounts capabilities provided by Hivebrite matched our requirements.

    Pros

    it has been an enjoyable UX/UI experience using Hivebrite. A platform that combines some of the best features of Squarespace, Mailchimp, Facebook, LinkedIn and Kickstarter. It is easy to use and easy to integrate.

    Cons

    The page builder functionality requires further refinement and enhancements, in addition to further enhancements across the reporting and analytics related to payments, email and web.

    WARNING: Hivebrite has Ethical Issues

    Reviewed a year ago

    I'm not a fan of this company or their software. They assured me they would work with me as a start up that has very little funding. I explained their competitor Mighty Networks has a monthly package that could be a better fit. Their sales rep [SENSITIVE CONTENT] promised they help companies like mine but when the platform was missing KEY functions that we discussed on DAY 1 of implementation I CANCELLED....

    An essential platform to promote community participation and management.

    Reviewed 4 months ago

    I have been able to manage my database efficiently, send mass and personalized communications, and be able to create and promote events quickly and easily.

    Pros

    I like how easy it is to set up and customize the platform to my needs, access to all features and tools so I was able to manage my data efficiently.

    Cons

    It would be very helpful to have more detailed documentation or video tutorials to help me better understand how I can get the most out of it.

    An all-in-one platform to manage your alumni community

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    Fast and efficient customer support, dynamic team, very useful release radar webinars.

    Pros

    When we chose the Hivebrite software, we compared it to other competitors on the French market. Almost two years after starting using it to manage our alumni community, we are very satisfied with our choice : this software as a system was hands on, easily customizable and useful in terms of features (mapped alumni directory, clusters, timeline, events, jobboard, statistics, etc.).

    Cons

    Developing and launching new features (if requested by client) is not sistematically possible. The email builder would require some upgrades.
