What is Document360?

Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.

Document360 ships a knowledge-base release almost every week. 12.11.1 lets Zendesk agents sign in with their own accounts, exposes article and Eddy AI feedback through new API endpoints, and extends MCP. The October releases added Eddy AI summaries of version differences and source citations in AI answers.

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.

Document360 vs Hive: editorial side-by-side

Document360

COLLAB

5.0

Document360 opens its knowledge base wider: per-user Zendesk sign-in, feedback APIs and MCP.

◆ Current state

◆ Where it's heading

The product is making its content and AI signals available to other tools: help desks, APIs and AI clients through MCP. Eddy AI keeps getting review and trust features rather than new generation features.

◆ Prediction

More MCP tools and integrations with support desks are the likely next releases, on the weekly cadence.

Hive

COLLABPM

6.3

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

◆ Current state

◆ 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.
