Striven Reviews

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.

does an ok job at storing files and handling security

Less friendly SharePoint which could easily be replaced by SP which is offered in all Microsoft licenses

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!

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.

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.

It has a very good user interface. It is thoughtful how they provide insightful videos. Their support is off the chain.

You have to do many configurations to get started. The chat feature is very basic. I like to send emoticons when I’m messaging my contacts.

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.

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.

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.

Customer Relations Management is simply great. Everything is there. Striven is also very secure.

The UI could have been a bit better. Some Microsoft programs could replace Striven.

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.

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

Connecting teams in a simple and efficient manner. Great for task management and pulling in different people when needed. Also provides wonderful transparency and helps ensure accountability.

Would like the system to allow an email address to be used for multiple contacts -- some offices use 1 central email address for each contact person. Thus, they have different phone numbers but use same email address and it is difficult to create new contact if email address is not unique.

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’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.

Easy to use. Very user friendly. Invoicing is easy

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

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.

Ease of use! The functionality for accounting purposes is awesome!

Nothing Striven is always trying to do their best to improve functions to cut down time on your work

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.

Ease of use and easy access through mobile application.

When I started, the mobile application was not much userfriendly. but with updates, its getting better.

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.
