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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

Internet connectivity in low data regains

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.

Cons:

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

Far beyond our expectations

Comments: The staff have been wonderful to work with. They are very direct with there vision, feature capability, and direction of software. There support team have been very crucial in helping us get started with our migration. The overall software has been very well developed and functionality has already saved hours of time in our day to day operations.

Pros:

I love the customization of this software. I can treat any report that narrows down exactly the info I need for invoicing, quoting, part management and more. In the few short months we have used it and very little training I have been able to navigate this system and save myself hours of unnecessary data entry. The ease of use and import has been a huge highlight to this software. They are constantly putting forth effort to make this software improved in function and reliability.

Cons:

Consistency within features that do not go parallel through out the software. Some of the reports could have cross data to give a more comprehensive report however they said this maybe in a future feature release. Reports are still extremely powerful.

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.

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.

User Friendly

Pros:

Easy to use. Very user friendly. Invoicing is easy

Cons:

Wish it was more customizable as in emails to customers, etc.

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.

Small Door Shop

Comments: Good

Pros:

the product is easy to use and I can find information quickly.

Cons:

I would like to see the option of mean price

Onboarding - No buyers remorse

Comments: Second month into the onboarding process and while slow and detailed we can see how good the end result will be. The support team is very dependable.

Pros:

There is a ton of functionality that we haven't tapped into yet. Right now we are a month in to the process and the team charged with training us have been very good. It is too early to discuss the benefits but to this point we do not regret our choice.

Cons:

There are a ton of features and the set up is detailed. It would be nice if there was a manual that pointed you in the right direction but there support team is incredibly responsive and has answered all of my questions in real time.

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.

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 is the software to disrupt the strangle hold Intuit holds on small business owners

Pros:

We love the estimate quoting capability and contract approval with autopay to set it and forget it regarding collections.

Cons:

Customizations are powerful, but require a bit of a learning curve to successfully implement them.

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.

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.

Review

Pros:

Mobile ease when in the field and quick navigation

Cons:

Delay times in waiting for verification code to reauthorize every thirty days.

Striven is a useful tool!

Pros:

I like the menu selection options and the software is easy to navigate

Cons:

Occasionally it can be difficult to locate certain documents and updating areas of expertise could be an easier process by not showing the options you have already selected
