## Reviews

### "Ease of use and simple user experience." — 5.0/5

> **Bhumi** | *12 September 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: He's good at making assets easy to find and share.
> 
> **Cons**: We would like to have a few more integrations now that we are operational, although the API is good and we can simply build our own.
> 
> It was a great experience, good and quick support.

### "HIVO, only the best DAM in the entire planet\!" — 5.0/5

> **Carlos** | *17 April 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The easy UI it has and the option to have expiration dates to ensure all assets that expire come offline on a specific date. We have 9 different brands in HIVO and it's our DAM across a company of over 2000 staff so it's essential for us to have a DAM that works and any of our staff can find assets with ease.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the technical selection might not be very intiutive but once you go through a tutorial it's pretty easy. HIVO also gives great tutorials but any time we run into an obstacle they are very quick at replying.
> 
> It's been great. Really quick answers when you have questions but also very useful when we were trying to find the best DAM that worked for us.

### "HIVO - the time saver" — 4.0/5

> **Kara** | *20 March 2023* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: HIVO allows us to grant our stakeholders access to our IP in a centralised location. It has saved us time on email back and forth with stakeholders and allows us to control what IP is available to them. The flexibility of the platform and the team at HIVO helping us trouble shoot and find solutions has been excellent. For example; applying watermarks automatically to web sized imagery has saved our team hours, if not days, of work.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the functionality can be fiddly and not always super user friendly. The ability to receive notifications when new assets are loaded to collections would be helpful. At the moment, we need to contact users direct when folders are updated.
> 
> The HIVO customer support is top tier. They were able to set us up with a folder structure unique to our business needs.  Whenever we have needed help they have been quick to respond and very hands on in solving our problems for us.

### "Highly recommend HIVO" — 5.0/5

> **Lizzie** | *29 January 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The UI design is intuitive and user-friendly, on-boarding experience was great, feedback taken on board and easy to use overall\!
> 
> **Cons**: It took a little time to learn how to truly use it to its full potential, and still learning but only because there's so much it can do\!
> 
> HIVO has revolutionised the way the marketing department works for the benefit of the whole company; making it easier and faster for both internal staff as well as clients.

-----

### "Strategic productivity" — 5.0/5

> **Katelyn** | *3 September 2019* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease with which we are able to locate digital assets and images of specific nature reducing the time is takes to form portfolios and marketing documents. Sharing images and assets with clients and collaborating with other firms is easy and has significantly streamlined the way our organisation deals with digital files.
> 
> **Cons**: The setup with my team was a challenge as they aren't very tech-savvy, but the UX is really intuitive and the support staff were super helpful to get them up to speed.
> 
> The implementation of HIVO has meant we have a single platform for all our digital assets and has been a game changer for our business. It's an outstanding piece of software with customisation specific to our needs and a super helpful support team. Highly recommend\!
