We use Raven for a number of our SEO clients, as well as handling various social media profiles for things suck as monitoring, post scheduling, and more.
Pros
Raven offers a nice and easy-to-use dashboard to manage all your SEO clients, along with their social media by auto integrating with accounts such as Google Analytics, Facebook, AdWords, Twitter & more. The report generator is awesome as well, allowing you to create recurring auto-send reports to your clients based off customized templates. You can choose what you'd like to include and exclude based off a set of robust filters.
Cons
The support leaves a little to be desired, sometimes taking a few days to respond, often with canned responses. After pushing to escalate, most of our issues were quickly resolved.

Before we subscribed to Raven Tools, we were creating almost 100 reports for clients by hand each month. Now, we are creating more reports than ever and more quickly and efficiently than before with Raven Tools' many integration options and drag-and-drop report creator. It's been a real game-changer!
Pros
Raven Tools is easy to use and quite intuitive. It allows us to create comprehensive and clean reports for our clients. I can't imagine going back to what we were doing before we invested in this service!
Cons
The only cons that I've encountered have either been address with updates or were misunderstandings by myself or a member of my staff. If we have an issue, it can generally be resolved by simply learning the tool a little better.

Raven has strengths in ease of use and SEO audits, but I find it lacking when it comes to support and integrations.
Pros
Raven is great for scanning websites for technical SEO issues. Also, our company utilized the keyword planning tool for all of our key phrase research.
Cons
Customer support is very spotty and often takes a few submissions before they address you. Usually, the issues take a while to be fixed. Integrations seem to break every few months which can be frustrating.

Digital Marketing Tools That Look Good
Reviewed on 2018/11/21
Pros
The automated reports for SEO and PPC were among the best that I have seen from the different digital marketing tools. It was easy to generate new reports and include all the important information or remove unneeded sections. The audits were very nice and didn't include anything that wasn't useful.
Cons
Rank tracking wasn't great and felt a little clunky compared to other rank tracking options. A few other tools did better jobs at providing specific data, but overall it's a good option.

Makes Your Job Easier
Reviewed on 2018/08/09
Pros
I have tested a lot of SEO suites, but Raven Tools is one of the best for the price. It has very robust feature and makes reporting easier. I have tried others that were more robust, but unless you have enterprise budget Raven Tools is a great option.
Cons
I used the reporting to export the data quickly, but I wasn't a fan of using their report templates.

When analyzing the fine details of a combined SEM/SEO/social media campaign, it can be tough to put all the details in one place. Raven Tools makes a large web of information accessible in one place. It takes time, patience, and a little finesse to get everything set up properly, but the result is a smooth finish for presenting complex information.
Pros
I have been amazed by the variety of schematics I have at my fingertips. After some getting used to, it is easy to put together a deeply informative report, and to update that same report monthly or annually, or for any span of time for that matter.
Cons
The most frustrating situation that I have encountered is figuring out whether the numbers are being pulled accurately, and where things may have gone wrong. Sometimes the applications it is pulling don't have the data available, sometimes it's set up with the wrong credentials. Raven tools is usually the last to know that something's gone wrong, and can't tell you how to fix it.

A Solid SEO Tool
Reviewed on 2019/02/01
Pros
The reports that Raven Tools has are among the very best that are out there for SEO. They are fairly easy to customize to your needs, which is critical. The reports are clean and easy to understand and clients seem to like them.
Cons
Aside from the reports it does a lot of other things moderately well, but nothing else is quite on par with the reports.

Fantastic SEO Agency Tool
Reviewed on 2019/08/01
Pros
Having a single sign-on with access to all of our client Google Analytics and Google Search Console data, and in a format that's easy to read, has been a great efficiency for us. We also love the WYSIWYG reporting and keyword research options. Link history, Google Ads integration are other features we utilize often and like the most.
Cons
I have no complaints. Great software for SEO agencies!

it's been a solid tool allowing our agency to send out monthly reports on website traffic to hundreds of clients each month. there's definately efficiency gains we have experienced by using this software.
Pros
reporting for google analytics and google ads, then the ability to schedule a monthly email with attached PDF of the last 30 days. handles a large number of clients quite well, which is important. And the abilty to import a template report layout to a new campagin/property has been extremely useful (the software would not be viable for us without it)
Cons
SERP reporting. This is a bit heart breaking - the feature is there, our testing indicated that the results were accurate, but then we try to test it with a real client and it doesn't work. I think the reports run fine, but the RAVEN user interface is not capable of extracting the data out, and nobody in RAVEN support can extract this for us into csv or anything upon request. We needed to shop around for alternatives due to this issue not being prioritised as something to fix. I know it's only in BETA, and I know you can't guarantee it, but it's something that puts my raven subscription into question if I can find another tool that can handle my SERP requirements better, and my google analytics reporting just as well. stay tuned in this race to the door!

Pros
It's full-featured and low cost makes it great for monitoring online marketing campaigns even if you're not actively working on them on a day-to-day basis. The data will be ready for you when needed.
We use it for SEO and Google Ads reporting for our clients. It's also great for running SEO audits which can be used for existing clients and new business.
Cons
Most of the businesses we work with operate in our local market. Local audits are not Raven Tools strong area. We subscribe to another tool for the purpose in addition to Raven Tools.

Raven let you know and put the metrics from several channels, like Analytics, AdWords, Facebook and others in same place (dashboard or report for example). It is possible share reports with our customers and use this in meeting for example, whithout costs. It is great.
Pros
I like how can make fast your reports, to add metrics and organize them into reports.
Cons
Sometimes, I don't know what happen but the graphics are losted. You need to make the session again and the graphics are showed again.
Another thing that I don't like is when the important features change and I need to change in my reports too.

Raven solves core business efficiency problems for agencies in that it consolidates multiple tools into one and saves them money and time, making them look like rockstars to their prospects and clients.
Pros
The sheer number of tools available within this software is incredible compared to the cost per month. I recommend it to many of the agencies I work with, as we used it at my former agency with great success in being able to offer technical site audits, automate reporting (including organic and paid search, social media and email marketing via APIs), keep tabs on competitors, monitor position for targeted keywords, and more.
Cons
There are some slight limitations on the presentation of data (ie. single metric on a blank page when exporting a report, etc.)

Pros
This software does a great job of integrating not only the website traffic, but also pulling in data from paid sources and social media. That makes it easier to compile white labeled reports. A big plus is the customer service. While you can't talk to them directly, they are very responsive to email inquiries and service requests.
Cons
This software can't crawl certain single page websites, like those done in Angular JS.

Our clients were impressed by the reporting and when we used the software consistently we saw excellent results in increasing site rankings.
Pros
The site reviews are exhaustive which is great for showing clients when we first audit their sites. The site comparisons have been quite useful as well when we are working with clients in a crowded space.
Cons
Due to the advanced nature of the software it’s not always clear for new users how and when you would utilize certain tools and techniques.

This has become my go to tool for teaching students about Marketing Technology. Every time I have had an issue, the customer service team has come through with a timely and viable solution. The integration with other platforms, and the grouping of metrics is exactly what I need to help my students understand the big and small pictures.
Pros
The thing I like best is the way that they bring so many aspects of understanding a client's online presence into a single interface. Additionally, the integration of content to help understand the "What is it and Why Does it Matter" for the various metrics is huge for helping people understand they Why behind these very technical elements.
Cons
User management is a little difficult to get your head around at first.

It was not a good experience because they bill this as a reporting software / dashboard for clients. All the feedback from clients was that the data is wonderful but it is useless to them. You pay a lot to confuse your clients.
Pros
It's great, for marketers and people who understand the numbers. It can connect to a lot of different platforms to keep up-to-date measurements on all your channels.
Cons
It does not integrate with all the major social networks and over the course of using it they kept raising prices over and over.

Overall, Raven Tools helps me bring key data together in a simple yet comprehensive layout. It has helped me expand my understanding and skills in SEO and SERP, and allows me to offer more information and services to my clients.
Pros
Raven Tools helps my small business and marketing consulting company look professional. The customizable reports have helped me attain new clients and retain old ones. While I have primarily used the AdWords and Social Media reporting features, I have stayed with Raven because they are continuously developing the software and the features they offer WITHOUT raising the cost.
Cons
While there IS online support, a more comprehensive and systematic GUIDE for each area of the software would be VERY helpful.
