Striven Reviews

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.

Excellent, Comprehensive ERP

Comments: We on-boarded with striven in the summer of 2019. Getting the data out of our previous system was the largest hurdle. This is a well ran tech company, it is unlike most software in which you have no or limited support. Striven will help get it set-up and operational.

Pros:

Striven is an agile accounting and ERP system. It has the accounting features you need, but also adds project management via tasks and project management tools. Further, customer relationships can be managed via the CRM tool as well as automated and triggered email blasts. The inventory system allows for a detailed BOM, but gives flexibility to adjust values as needed. Its a great system.

Cons:

This software does everything, really. With that comes at a price of getting familiar with the system. It took our staff some time to learn where everything is. The menu is well thought out, but when you have a high amount of features, you have to learn where everything is at before you can zoom around the system with speed.

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.

User Friendly Software

Comments: Striven has excellent customer service and my account manager is always prompt to reply to my emails and calls.

Pros:

I enjoyed the ease of use of the Striven platform as the software is relatively simple. I also like that the dashboard is customizable to find what you need at a glance.

Cons:

What the software offers is great, but there are a few other features I would like to see offered in the future.

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.

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]

Pros:

Everyone is friendly, it works seamlessly, and we are very excited to use the customizable features.

Cons:

There is nothing as of now I dislike about this system.

Striven is an exciting new player in the ERP/CRM space for small businesses.

Comments: On a scale from 1 to 10 --- an 11!

Pros:

There are so many positives that come to mind about this cloud-based software. First, the Striven employees are amazing and thoroughly know their product/service. Two, the speed of the software is blazing fast! Three, the Customer Portal feature is easy to use and the way it is setup, our employees will be able to assist our customers in navigating the portal. Fourth, the software is extremely robust and not "buggy" at all; it's a solid system. Fifth, the accounting system is easy to use and full of most of the features a small business would need. Sixth, the Striven software is affordable for small businesses.

Cons:

Lack of Outlook/Gmail built-in email integration like some of the other CRMs on the market. Hopefully, that will change soon. More interconnectability with other software. Need more merchant account integration choices -- at least 2 or 3.

Easy to use

Pros:

This product is easy to use. I was trained in this software over a weeks time and have been using it with ease ever since.

Cons:

I have not found any areas of difficulty using this software.

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.

Akhils Review

Comments: Overall its very good and effective.

Pros:

Very easy to use and compact. Easy to use.

Cons:

There is an issue with multi-currencies.

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.

Better & Better...

Comments: Striven just keeps getting better and better. Monthly updates come out with little improvements that you never knew you needed or they are updates that are added to Striven based on a suggestion. How wonderful that you say, it would be great if this could happen and within a month or two the change has been made.
The customer service is also second to none. I recently reached out to my go to girl at Striven, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], for an issue that ended up being a gmail issue and not Striven. She patiently worked with me to investigate and come up with a solution for me. The people at Striven are the best part.

Pros:

All aspects of our orders/work can be easily tracked and everything is related from invoices to customers, tasks to the work crew, quotes from our vendors, purchase orders, completion documents, etc. It keeps all of our projects and jobs totally organized and it gives us a snapshot of profitability of each job. The other think is the ease of use. We just bought on a new Project Manager who would prefer never to turn on a computer. We should him what he needed to do on Striven for his work and he was immediately hooked. The nervousness of being on our system went away the first day he was using Strvien

Cons:

Very little on this system I don't like. One minor thing that was an issue is the fact that item lines on sales orders could not be moved around. We mentioned it to Striven and they loved the idea and now we hope to see this change in an upcoming release.

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.

Cons:

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

Overall very good experience

Pros:

Ease of use and easy access through mobile application.

Cons:

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

Account Manager Medical Waste Sales - Review

Comments: great

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Striven NU

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Great Value Alternative for Small Businesses

Comments: Overall, I would say my experience has been mostly positive.

Pros:

For us, the main benefit to Striven was its ability to easily integrate with QBO

Cons:

I dislike that customers must sign into an account in order to pay invoices. There are workarounds, but this was a bit disappointing. The variety of payment methods was refreshing, however.

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.

Cons:

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