What is Avaza?

Avaza's MCP server is still the news; the feed has turned to services-firm guides.

Avaza's recent entries are long-form guides for professional services firms on billable hours, revenue leakage, capacity planning and PSA software. No entry since the MCP server and subtask rebuild describes a new release.

What is Hive?

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

Avaza vs Hive: editorial side-by-side

A5.0

Avaza's MCP server is still the news; the feed has turned to services-firm guides.

◆ Current state

Avaza's recent entries are long-form guides for professional services firms on billable hours, revenue leakage, capacity planning and PSA software. No entry since the MCP server and subtask rebuild describes a new release.

◆ Where it's heading

Avaza is positioning itself to become the system AI agents read from and write to when a professional-services workflow needs context — quotes, billable hours, project status. The MCP server is the infrastructure for that bet; the subtask rebuild and status customization narrow the gap with heavier-weight project management tools. Cadence is moderate, but the MCP move is unusual for an SMB-focused vendor.

◆ Prediction

Expect more buying guides aimed at services firms. A follow-up to the MCP work is plausible, but these entries show no product signal.

6.3

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

◆ Current state

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

◆ Where it's heading

Dashboards are moving from showing tracked time toward capacity planning, with shared inputs that update every report when edited. Bulk editing keeps reaching more views, and each new bulk action ships with undo.

◆ Prediction

Expect more report widgets to accept Tables inputs and drill-downs, and bulk actions extending to fields beyond dates and status.
