Optimus Hive Task Mining review
A low-cost entry point for activity monitoring, with task mining in a higher-priced tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Optimus Hive Task Mining captures user actions on business devices and analyzes activity data to document how work is performed. It is aimed at organizations evaluating productivity, process optimization, task-level activity, and automation planning across teams. Its feature set includes task grouping, variant calculations, dashboards, process graphs, activity costing, automation opportunity detection, and controls for application and website capture. Deployment options include secure cloud and on-premises installations.
The published plans create a clear distinction between monitoring and task mining. The Trial plan costs $0 per user per month with annual billing and includes a basic activity dashboard, 30 days of application and website usage, department and user reports, a productivity report, and screenshots. Employee Monitoring costs $7 per user per month with annual billing and adds advanced agent dashboards, one year of application and website usage, screenshots, productivity reporting, and keylogging. The $59 Transformation Package adds task-mining dashboards, task-mining recording, automation detection, business-case automation, and automated design and training documentation. Teams choosing the $7 entry tier should not expect the listed task-mining capabilities there.
For governance, the product provides application whitelisting and blacklisting, encryption, and redaction controls. Its listed ecosystem connections are Active Directory and Power BI. The desktop-agent capture method supports activity collection at the device level, while task clustering, task-level maps, and automation-opportunity detection support analysis beyond basic monitoring. Choose Optimus Hive Task Mining if a team wants a low-cost paid entry point and can match its needs to the appropriate plan. Choose another option if broad integrations or task-mining functionality in the lowest paid tier is the priority.
