Striven Reviews

One Shop Stop for Running our Distribution Business

Comments: The efficiency and time saved (increase productivity and professionalism) being able to leverage the e-doc storage capabilities, improved and increase sale force productivity through the sales pipeline management and the integration of an accounting package with all the other needs of a small business like our makes us a huge fan of this software and company. The value blows anything else we have ever tried in the 30 years of being in the automotive industry and distribution.

Pros:

Integration of an Accounting System, CRM, Customer Portal and electronic data filing system.

Cons:

While they are consistently making marked improves ever couple of months to the user interface, there's still quirky things in various modules that aren't as intuitive as they could be.

Will Drozdik Review

Pros:

How organized this keeps everything. Ease of looping in other coworkers into customer service issues that may require a few people.

Cons:

Sometimes it is difficult to adjust font/ style if copying and pasting from an outside source, for example copying an email from outlook may change font and appearance.

Much Improvements To be Made

Pros:

I like the ease of use of the software, and the ability to work around for what I need when I want to.

Cons:

Every time something is opened, a new window is opened at the same time.

Great Cloud ERP for Mis Size Companies

Pros:

Easy to to roll out. Covers all the essentials. Dashboards are awesome.

Cons:

Integrations with marketing platforms like Gohighlevel are lacking. Clients like direct integrations more than just Zapier connections.

Have enjoyed using Striven in the workplace!

Comments: I have enjoyed using Striven. It is very seamless and can do many operations simultaneously.!

Pros:

I like how Striven literally keeps everything you need on a customer in one place ('The dashboard")

Cons:

There is not a "save" button when creating jobs. It automatically saves--which is great, but Striven doesn't indicate to the user that it did, indeed, "SAVE"

Great software

Comments: Easy to use and organize

Pros:

It’s easy to use and efficient. Makes running a buddies easy

Cons:

It’s not bad at all. Could be alittle bit more user friendly in the sense that there is a lot of different options to choose from but it’s needed.

A game-changer

Pros:

We use Striven extensively for client, staff and project tracking; we have found it to be a seamless solution. I especially like the abilty to design surveys, assessments and reports on the fly for up-to-the minute information.

Cons:

It would be helpful if time tracking allowed flexible template set-up, allowing users on ongoing/long projects to pre-populate weekly time sheets

Superb Project Management Software!

Comments: Striven is a Powerful business management solution for all companies who need to manage multiple projects, HR management and improve work productivity. I'm using this tool for handling multiple projects with my team and try to improve work quality of my team members.

Pros:

The Software looks more Powerful with it's great features like project management, inventory management, task scheduling and reporting. We can easily track our project work and generate reports whenever we need.

Cons:

The Software is little bit difficult to navigate for new users. Other than this I didn't feel any disadvantage of this software.

Just Perfect Solution For Project Management!

Comments: Striven is a perfect project management solution for all companies who works on multiple projects and teams to improve work quality and team collaboration very quickly. Striven is easy to use and provides a great customer support to solve your queries.

Pros:

This Software is a perfect solution for us to manage multiple projects with our team simultaneously. We can perform multiple activities like tasks status tracking, documents sharing, reports generating, etc.

Their is some limitation in third-party tools integrations other than this not have any problem with the software.

Great product

Comments: It was a 9/10

Pros:

The ease of use and the ability to change on the go

Cons:

Internet connectivity in low data regains

Software To Get You To A Higher Level

Comments: The ability to share information with our field technicians and for the same to be able to share with management has taken has to a new level in the way we operate.

Pros:

I really think the best feature of Striven is the cloud based platform that any of our users can access from multiple devices.

Cons:

Search functionality is erratic. We can make an entry and then do a search for the same and then won't be able to find it.

Striven is an exciting new player in the ERP/CRM space for small businesses.

Comments: On a scale from 1 to 10 --- an 11!

Pros:

There are so many positives that come to mind about this cloud-based software. First, the Striven employees are amazing and thoroughly know their product/service. Two, the speed of the software is blazing fast! Three, the Customer Portal feature is easy to use and the way it is setup, our employees will be able to assist our customers in navigating the portal. Fourth, the software is extremely robust and not "buggy" at all; it's a solid system. Fifth, the accounting system is easy to use and full of most of the features a small business would need. Sixth, the Striven software is affordable for small businesses.

Cons:

Lack of Outlook/Gmail built-in email integration like some of the other CRMs on the market. Hopefully, that will change soon. More interconnectability with other software. Need more merchant account integration choices -- at least 2 or 3.

User friendly and efficient!

Comments: It has been great. Their customer support team has real people responding to your questions and they have great response time and are always happy to help!

Pros:

I like the report builder best because you can configure and pull your own reports on just about anything in the system! It makes tracking metrics on my data entry so easy.

Cons:

I like the timesheet feature but I wish there was a feature where you can copy a past timesheet into draft form for your current week and then edit the hours. I often work in the same item categories and it would save time completing this necessary but sometimes time consuming task.

HAA review

Pros:

Inventory management features and sales reporting

Cons:

Sometimes it's a little clunky to learn, but once you figure it out it works well

Great Alternative to Quickbooks

Pros:

My name is Brandon and I do the bookkeeping for a small general contractor in Florida. We wanted to find a feature-rich software that wasn't Quickbooks. Striven has a great overall interface. The system allows for a good amount of customization. Unlike Quickbooks, Striven has a great customer service support team to help with your setup and any future needs. We do have some additional customizations that we would like to see in Striven. We have already reached out to the Striven team and they are welcoming the conversation. I look forward to growing the business with Striven as our system.

Cons:

I would like to work with Striven to build out the job costing reporting and functionality more.

Striven CRM User

Comments: Striven has proven to be a very powerful CRM for us at SCTools, with excellent Customer Service.

Pros:

Best features are Sales Orders & Purchase Orders

Cons:

Some areas are difficult to customize to match our requirements.

Easy to use

Pros:

easy to use once you get used to the interfacing, keeps everything organized and in one place.

Cons:

This software has a bit of a learning curve.

Striven Getting Better with each UP

Comments: Striven has been great for us in every area of our business. Because of Striven we have automated so many processes that in the past required employee intervention. Overall I would say that I'm excited that we are using Striven and that it has the bandwidth to support our business for years to come.

Pros:

Striven is a compete ERP. It handles all aspects of business management and is easy to automate.

Cons:

Striven is growing not only in users but in processes that provide. Since its cloud based it has had growing pains as far as speed is concern. Sometimes it slows down. The Striven Team is on it and making performance improvements as I write this. They are committed group of people and say what they do and do what they say.

Newer user, Great UI and customer Support, great value

Pros:

Striven UI is intuitive and thoughtful. They handle scaling and have an API, but being niche, there are not very many, if any software integrations with third parties and the controls around journal entries is lacking. We are newer in the system and still customizing to our needs and their customer support is wonderful!

Cons:

Some controls surrounding JE posting could be improved.

Daily user of Striven

Comments: I do enjoy it. Very easy to use.

Pros:

I really enjoy how user friendly this product is. I work with it daily and find it a great help in all aspects of scheduling and servicing our customers.

Cons:

I really do not like how many tabs keep opening up.

Awesome customer service

Pros:

Customer service is on their game! Quick to help with any issues.

Cons:

Working through different bugs/glitches but customer service has been awesome

Striven is the ERP for Growing Businesses

Pros:

Striven is the most customizable ERP on the market. Offering the ability to customize everything from sale order documents to emails! Allowing customizations in the processing of sales orders, invoices, and items.

Cons:

Some of the integration features are lacking, but Striven actively updates its software to include new integrations every 5 weeks!

Very Easy to Use

Pros:

The inventory management system that Striven has developed has made it very easy for us to process, ship and bill orders in a seamless and efficient manner.

Cons:

The reporting in Striven is not great but they have it on their roadmap to develop and redesign their reporting.

Striven an asset to our company

Comments: The ability to use from anywhere is a huge plus. We are very happy.

Pros:

Ease of use and accessibility is HUGE for us. The ability to create pretty much any report we need is also key.

Cons:

Need a couple things tweaked (not what we were used to) but Striven is always open to listening to our suggestions and has implemented some changes we've requested so far.

Excellent value

Pros:

It has an incredible amount of features for the money and there is no license level, meaning one user license gives you access to everything. Many other products require you to buy additional items to get more features. Having the project management / time tracking system live in the same place as a full accounting product is a *huge* help.

Cons:

It could use some UX help as some things aren't always very intuitive. We found a few tasks in our older system were easier to reason about, but overall the UX is decent.
