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. > > 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. ----- ### "Easy to use community management platform" — 4.0/5 > **Gussy** | *8 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "WARNING: Hivebrite has Ethical Issues" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 September 2022* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > 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. After cancelling I didn't hear back from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] for weeks at which time he only defended his actions and said they will not cancel the agreement. As a minority owned startup, I should never have trusted them. Their sales tactics are unethical. Now I'm struggling to determine how to cover a $10k+ debt for software I never used or implemented at all. Seem they don't mind a quick snatch and grab. Seems criminal to me that a company with their supposed history would do this. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot more people who they're doing this to. NO HUMAN BEING deserves this kind of treatment and I hope they get what they deserve for their unethical actions. ----- ### "The best people to help you build your community" — 5.0/5 > **Debbie** | *28 July 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Customer Success is taken LITERALLY with Hivebrite" — 5.0/5 > **Olivia** | *29 July 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > I've never felt more taken care of by customer success reps. They will always go to bat for their clients. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/136060/hivebrite?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/136060/hivebrite) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
