Easier for non-technical teams
Built-in communication
Cross-functional execution
Why teams choose Hive
Adoption outside of technical teams
When marketing, design, operations, and executives need visibility into work, Jira can feel too specialized. Hive is designed for broad adoption across the business.
Hive
Simpler for non-technical users to navigate and participate in
Jira
Often requires translation or additional tools for broader business collaboration
Built-in communication
Hive reduces the need to split communication across separate systems.
Hive
In-app messaging, comments, and native email connected to work items
Jira
Strong issue comments and dev collaboration, but broader communication often happens outside the platform
Integrates with your existing tools
One central place for everything that is important to your work.
More flexibility to work faster
Trusted by 20,000+ teams
