GanttPRO vs Hive: at a glance
What is GanttPRO?
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, naming the feature after the colon. The last ones that clearly announced features, dashboard export with portfolio invitations and a rebuilt list view, landed on 4 August. The October posts are a how-to on custom colours that doesn't say whether the feature is new, and a buy-versus-build article for enterprise Gantt tools. Earlier in the year came a shared board-view link, table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker.
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.

◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, naming the feature after the colon. The last ones that clearly announced features, dashboard export with portfolio invitations and a rebuilt list view, landed on 4 August. The October posts are a how-to on custom colours that doesn't say whether the feature is new, and a buy-versus-build article for enterprise Gantt tools. Earlier in the year came a shared board-view link, table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next feature post to extend the sharing thread, export or link access for views that lack it, since two of the last three features were about read-only distribution. The October posts are content marketing, so the gap since August means no new feature has appeared in the feed.
Hive
6.3COLLABPM
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.
