Striven Reviews

This product is easy to use and integrates with other programs

A/R aging only has one option - age by due date instead of invoice date.

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.

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

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

We explored a variety of ERP packages and the possibility of creating our own when assessing our business needs. We found Striven to be an ideal system that could evolve along with our company. I personally enjoy using the report builder to measure data, as well as the accessibility of the software and its capacity to create tasks quickly. This makes it easier for our company to stay organized and efficient with our internal communications.

Honestly, I don't dislike much about Striven. It's very user-friendly and I'm able to find what I need quickly. I was able to come up with a solution, but it would be great if there was an option to age from either starting point.

Inventory management features and sales reporting

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

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.

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.

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

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.

The support is next level. Fairly easy to maneuver in Striven and only had to learn a few tasks/clicks that seamed foreign to my experience with other CRM software.

when choosing a category like clients or vendors it doesn't automatically give you a list. you have to click the search button to populate the list which is an unnecessary step for me.

Very easy to use and train on new employees.

Would like a feature that deals with mid-tier projects.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This software has everything a business would need all in one place. Too many times do companies find themselves needing a handful of different software programs to organize their different departments. Striven takes all those major departments and stores it in one place, which makes it significantly easier to track, organize, and provide the information needed.

There are so many features it can be a bit intimidating to learn for a user who is used to much less.

We like that we can export data cards from Solidworks with all of our part data and BOM information into a format that Striven can import and update within our ordering and customer systems.

I have not had enough time to use Striven to work out the cons.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

THE PLATFORM IS EASY TO NAVIGATE AND HAS ALL THE FEATURES AN OFFICE NNEDS FOR SALES AND CRM

EMAIL INTEGRATION WITH OTHER APPLICATION

We use Striven on a daily basis and it has been a major upgrade for our IT systems. Striven facilitates our sales tracking, quoting customers, information repository and centralized place to store and access sales info. All sales can now view and edit quotes if folks are out

The calendar functionality is difficult to get accustomed to.

It is a very suitable software for my job. Thanks to the software, I can see even the smallest details. I get my work done with this software.

It seems to have some shortcomings in terms of interface and settings. Other than that, I can say that there is nothing bad about it.

What I have liked the most during the time I have tried it is how usable and easy to understand this CRM is. Many times one of the biggest handicaps you find is the complexity of the platform itself, not so in Striven.

A greater number of updates to the platform would be interesting so that the CRM evolves even faster.

Easy to use and to keep track of employees

As of now can't think of anything I didn't like about this software.

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.

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

I love how easy the program is to use! I have to submit PO's on a daily basis and Striven allows me to do so smoothly.

I dislike that Striven will crash sometimes. There have been times where I'll try to submit a PO for processing and the program won't let me submit due to issues on their end. This doesn't happen often though!

Easy to implement and use. Easy for employees in the field to stay up to date with customer information and schedules

I came from QB as our primary accounting software. I wish Striven had a payroll feature similar to QB or a way for payroll import to be easily done.

I enjoy the centralization of key business aspects such as engagement listings, accounting capacity and the ability to personalize the layout.

I should ask work colleagues about removing prior engagement project banners
