Not easy to implement but then quite scalable. Pros Mixed uses: communication, engagement, event registration. Possibility to implement easily networking online activities. Groups of discussions. Cons Not fully optimised for event registration, not optimal integration of Zoom, few formatting options / preview on the live feed, not so user friendly than a linkedin, no automatic link between organisations and people Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

School Coordinator Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Excellent Platform and Outstanding Support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 18, 2025 My overall experience with Hivebrite has been positive. It is great for building and managing an online alumni community. The customer support exceeded expectations Hivebrite offers a strong product and exceptional service :) Pros Hivebrite is an excellent platform for creating and managing an online community. It offers a modern, intuitive, and easy-to-use interface that makes online exchange and engagement feel natural. What truly sets Hivebrite apart is the quality of its customer support. The support team was consistently helpful, responsive, and solution-oriented, and my feedback was genuinely taken into consideration. I also received outstanding support from my dedicated contact, \[sensitive content hidden\], who provided far more than just technical assistance. Her guidance, responsiveness, and proactive approach made a real difference to the success of our platform. Cons Do I have to say something here? Because there is nothing to say. Limited mobile features, and some advanced settings take time to master/understand.

Founder Media Production ### "Great Community Platform" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 December 17, 2025 Hivebrite's team was high-touch, making sure to regularly check-in after the extensive onboarding process. Our customers saw the value of our community right away and were able to easily navigate the platform. Pros Hivebrite is a great off-the-shelf solution. It provides a lot of features and functionality that would typically require a developer or engineer to build custom so that you can quickly launch your community. Cons The email system worked well, but the ability to create templates would be great. There were also some bugs.

Gussy H. Co Founder Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Easy to use community management platform" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 December 8, 2025 Hivebrite made our life easier when building our community and managing it. We were able to observe our community behaviours and build value adds for them such as events and content very easily and it made our payment process extremely easy. Pros Hivebrite makes the site build very easy and the growth team are responsive over email. In terms of managing a community, the site makes logins, payments and communications very easy. Events are easy to share and invite attendees. Cons The site build can be prescriptive and inflexible and it's slow to reach the backoffice team in charge of helping with issues or bugs. There is a strong team focus on ensuring you renew early. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Change and Relationship Officer Government Administration ### "Thanks for helping!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 November 19, 2025 Really engaged provider, very helpful and proactive in helping us make the most of the product. Really empowering us to learn how to use it well Pros It appears to be one of the only platforms where you can connect organisations and the general public and have some oversight of it. I like the email campaign feature a lot as I can make it look really good and narrow down which members to contact. Our Customer success Manager \[sensitive content hidden\] is great and is really proactive and helping us get the most out of the platform as we can and is invested in our mission. The response rate from the support team is very quick Cons Lack of customisability can occasionally cause some issues for functionality, but we are not using the platform for its intended purpose which should be kept in mind.

Knowledge Sharing Officer Research ### "A good tool for Global Networks!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 4, 2025 Great tool, great team (good listeners and reactive). Some technical improvements need to be made based on user feedback Pros It’s super user-friendly and very pleasant to use. Our users are very happy with tool. they were really looking for it! Cons There are some bugs who are impacting the user experience and need to be fixed. That means that admins needs to dedicate time to that issue, instead focusing on the animation of the community.

Systems and Engagement Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Hivebrite review Sep 2025" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 September 5, 2025 Lots of nice features that help build an online community. Friendly responsive support. Bit of a learning curve for admins. Data metrics have improved but still take some time to get your head around. Clunky direct messaging. Pros Map of users is very nice. Ability to link people to organisations Attractive and customisable user interface. Ad-free. Cons Upselling additional features for extra costs. Occasional glitches. Why the "Discover Groups" view (or what we call Spaces) shows Groups who I'm already part of, it doesn't make sense. I raised a product request to change this which was rejected.

Communications Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Customer Success is taken LITERALLY with Hivebrite" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 29, 2025 I've never felt more taken care of by customer success reps. They will always go to bat for their clients. Pros If you are looking for a system that has a team of pros on your side, this is the product to choose. They don't upsell. In fact, they'll recommend downgrading your modules if they don't think the module will serve you. They are on your side all the time. Plus, this site is ridiculously easy to manage. If you've used Sharepoint, this will be a breeze. They take admin feedback into consideration all the time and actually use our suggestions. I've worked with a lot of systems and never given a review before, that's how much I love this team. They really worked with our budget (we're a non-profit) and do all they can to keep costs low. We use this system for events most primarily and our events are well-attended. Everything is automated and our members don't have issues registering. I will never leave Hivebrite. Cons I think it's hard to build a community online that's not social media. This site is not social media. We're all a little warped to expect 100 likes minimum, or else a post is a fail. It takes genuine effort to get people to use the platform. That's not a hit on Hivebrite, but just these systems as a whole.

Online Community Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "The best people to help you build your community" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 28, 2025 Overall Hivebrite employ great people, knowledgeable, friendly, supportive and always keen to help you improve your community for your members. All the staff I come across build great relationships with their clients and collaboration is high. Pros I really like the modular style of the Hivebrite platform, you can build your community platform unique to your user needs. Cons Nothing major, but some of the back office functionality can feel a little disjointed when updating, but once you know how it works its manageable.

Director of Information Technology Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Streamlined Community Management " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 7, 2025 My experience with Hivebrite has been positive. The platform provided a solid foundation for building and engaging our new community, with strong features for member management, communication, and events. While we encountered some limitations in customization, the customer service team was responsive, and the platform delivered real value for our goals. Pros What I liked most about Hivebrite is how easy it was to build a branded, all-in-one community platform. The flexibility to customize member experiences, manage events, and integrate with our existing tools made it a great candidate for our community needs. Cons What I liked least was the limited flexibility in customizing certain design elements.
