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.

Total game-changer for my business

Comments: The project management tool radically changed the way we do business and now, we have been able to manage the exponential growth we have had in the last couple of years.

Pros:

Love the way all of my information is in one application. Less data entry, producing less risk for error. Information is not in silos, but unified. Can run reports and really understand all the parts of the whole together.

Cons:

Wish it integrated and would sync with Square for my retail component, but we did find a work-around for now.

Highly Recommended if you are looking to save time.

Comments: Customer Service is outstanding. I am only starting to dig into everything Striven has to offer. But what I have done so far has saved me valuable time in my bookkeeping business. Highly Recommend

Pros:

Task manangement feature is the part of Striven I enjoy most. It has saved my valuable time along with making sure nothing falls through the cracks

Cons:

Customizing reports but I struggle with this in a lot of softwares

The best choice in ERP

Comments: My company has been looking for a great ERP system tirelessly and finally found striven. They are amazingly communicative and very forthcoming with information when requested. We are currently working to put the system into full swing at our facility and the outlook as of now looks like it will be perfect. They certainly are malleable to your needs and will work tirelessly to make sure you are getting what you want/pay for.-[sensitive content hidden]

Easy to use

Pros:

Powerful and Evolving

Comments: Very good and looking forward to its continued evolution.

Pros:

Have only been in the "Hearth Edition" for a few months now but WOW is it powerful. Favorite so far is the how quickly our customers are adopting the "portal". Striven had dramatically increased our ability for bi-directional communication with our customers. Love to see how it is constantly evolving with quarterly updates!

Cons:

Implementation was difficult. Needed more support.

Revolutionizing Project Management with Striven

Comments: My overall experience with Striven has been mixed. On one hand, the software is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it simple to find the tools and features I need. Additionally, the software has a lot of useful features that have helped me to streamline my workflow and be more productive.On the other hand, there are a few things that I did not like about Striven. One of the biggest issues I had was with the software's customer support. I had a few technical issues that I needed help with, and it took several days for them to get back to me. This was frustrating and slowed down my work. Additionally, I found that the software's reporting capabilities were a bit lacking. I would have liked to see more detailed reports and more customization options.

Pros:

One of the things I liked most about Striven software is its intuitive and user-friendly interface. The layout is simple and easy to navigate, making it easy for me to quickly find the features and tools I need. The software also offers a wide range of customization options, allowing me to tailor it to my specific needs and preferences. Overall, I found Striven software to be a powerful and versatile tool that helped me to improve my productivity and achieve my goals. The software is packed with features and functions that are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of users, and it is easy to use and customize. If you're looking for a powerful and flexible software solution, I would highly recommend Striven.

Cons:

One of the things I liked least about Striven software was its lack of customization options. While the software had a lot of great features, I found that it was difficult to tailor it to my specific needs and preferences. Additionally, I found the user interface to be a bit clunky and unintuitive, which made it difficult to navigate and use the software effectively. Another issue I had with Striven was the lack of customer support. When I had questions or encountered problems, I found it difficult to get in touch with someone who could help me. Overall, I was disappointed with the lack of flexibility and support offered by Striven.

Striven Works Well for our Company

Pros:

One of my favorite elements of Striven is how responsive the development team is to our needs. When we reach out to them about a change or addition to the system that could help us do our jobs better they listen. They continually update and enhance Striven to make it work for their customers, which we really appreciate.

Cons:

I wish the Reports element of the system was improved. I've run into issues where I cannot generate a report with all of the information I need encompassed in a single report.

Striven has it all!

Pros:

Striven is such a versatile platform. We were able to stop using multiple products and combine all aspects of our business into one location. I love the YouTube videos because they do such a thorough job helping you explore the product.

Cons:

Because I primarily handle the finances for our organization, I wish Striven provided a cleaner integration with Quickbooks.

All In One System!!

Pros:

Striven allowed us to ditch the 3 tools we were using previously to manage CRM, invoicing, and inventory management. The consolidation of these 3 critical tools has streamlined our business.

Cons:

Striven sends me a lot of emails with updates to our business that I'm already aware of. For example, I just sent an email to a customer through our support email, striven will send an email to my personal email telling me that a CRM conversation has been updated. This is by no means the end of the World and sometimes it's nice to have these updates.

Enterprise Single Solution - Convergence into ONE cloud application!

Comments: Excellent, great customer service, end to end and complete 360 degree view of our company is support from HARDWARE and infrastructure (legacy servers) to new sites inter office connections over SDWAN , and back into our virtualized services - running VMware, we use Striven to support core business, and improve productivity with a tool bag of useful web based features.

Pros:

Speed, security, friction-less user interfaces, presentation, compatibility across browsers and Operating Systems. Support for all divisions, branches, and multi site complexity.

Cons:

Not much, anything that was missing can be handled with Agile speed to market with new releases or custom changes.

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.

Akhils Review

Pros:

Very easy to use and compact. Easy to use.

There is an issue with multi-currencies.

IES Techs

Comments: We really enjoy using striven for our business.

Pros:

All in one software- user friendly. All set up is consistent across the board.

Cons:

Payroll is not included. I hope that this is a feature that will be considered for the future

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.

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.

Striven is a little know powerhouse for your small business

Comments: Striven has been such a pleasure to work with. Their staff is extremely helpful and responsive. You almost get to know them and they feel like part of your own company at times. Great people to work with.

Pros:

The software is customisable so as to fit your particular business. Our business has many variables and parts, and we were able to get Striven to do what other bigger system were not able to....at a fraction of the price.

Cons:

None really. There could be some better interfaces and some easier customisations, but overall, there are no real cons with regards to our experience.

Multi Use Product

Comments: I have had a great experience working with Striven. Working with the team is easy. They are open to suggestions and willing to share ideas for enhancements.

Pros:

The ability to have my HR, Customer Service and Finance needs handled all in one platform. I can limit access within the settings so each team is only viewing what is absolutely necessary. The constant enhancements that always being done to improve the software.

Cons:

Limitations with reporting and ability to search can be cumbersome.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Comments: We have been business partners with Miles Technologies for a number of years. One area of struggle we had was with financial reporting. We worked very closely with the customer representative and his team and are experiencing tremendous success with the BUSINESS system. We were successful in incorporating our multiple lines of business lines into the BUSINESS system and have seen improvements in our processes. We continue to work with Miles Technologies in improving our day -to-day activities within our organization.

Pros:

Flexibility and support within the BUSINESS system.

Cons:

Downloading reports into Excel, no formulas for totals.

Better Than Great

Pros:

I like the REST APIs that Striven has built into its system for users.

Cons:

I dislike that Striven is not bigger than Google.

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.

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"

Our Experience

Comments: A completely cloud based accounting system is the way to go!

Pros:

Receivables and payables features are great!

Cons:

Each time you click something it opens a new tab.

Great Management System

Pros:

Striven allows me to plan projects with ease. We are able to lay out projects and track progress.

Cons:

I would love the ability to copy over timesheets from week to week. Working with many clients means a long timesheet. The ability to copy this over each week would save me time!

Great integrated business software at a fraction of the cost of competitors products.

Comments: Very professional and curtious service even under time crunches. The implementation manager really contributed to our success.

Pros:

Integratgratipn to reduce duplication of effort and streamline processes. Advocate reporting capability. Granulated of role based user access. Value for money that made it possible for my clients implemention in a cash strapped rapidly growing business. The service provided by the implemention manager was phenomenal. Than goodness for [SENSITIVE CONTENT].

Cons:

Adding the ability to link tasks to create a network diagram and automatically adjust a project schedule would be fantastic.
