"Easy to use but missing some features"
3/5
What do you like best about Raken?

It's easy to use, easy to train other users on, and puts out a consistently formatted daily report. I like some of the reports it can produce for larger scale analytics as well as the API access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raken?

1) Observation categories are limited and most of the time not applicable, these should be customizable.

2) Admins should be able to disable some features/ tools/ tabs for the general users. This allows each company to decide what they want users to do to keep it consistent across the company.

3) Checklists only show up on the daily report of the day they were signed, not the day they are dated. AKA they cannot be back-dated like work logs.

4) There is no easy way to determine how many unsigned daily reports there are for all projects. There needs to be a report of some kind that notes how many reports for each project are Missing, Unsigned, No Work Done, and Signed/ Completed.

5) The metrics should differentiate different work log names instead of lumping them in as one company.

6) Observations created in checklists do not link properly in the daily report.

7) Project summary reports need to be more customizable, include more options for what to output.

8) If survey data was extractable via API then checklists would not be needed for our purposes.

9) Uploading/ importing tasks via excel would make it easier to add bulk items Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, Efficient Software."
5/5
What do you like best about Raken?

The software is easy to download and gets technicians set up in a matter of 2 minutes. Raken Customer Support responds quickly and accurately. Raken has a lot of features including adding forms, pictures, and videos for each project. My technicians use this every day to clock in and out as well as track the job status.

"Excellent Tool, Understands User Base"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Raken?

It provides just enough structure with enough free form to allow for a decent amount of custom formatting in reporting.

The core concept and current implementation provide a thorough tool for reporting on daily work.

Helps us look professional and helps us drastically increase the consistency and quality of our communication within the company and to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raken?

Often I may have to enter the same information, or create the same notes many times (e.g. entering the same number of hours for 50-100 pieces of equipment, or creating the same 15 notes detailing the work done in the same 15 apartments each day). I would like to see more tools to save a 'configuration' or mass edit many things at once.

This could save precious minutes when I have many jobs, many work areas, and/or many pieces of equipment.

Our company sends reports on every job every day, so, any boost to efficiency can have a large effect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes life a lot easier"
5/5
What do you like best about Raken?

For our company, the staff has been great at helping us with the set up of Raken. But more than anything is the ease of getting everything in one place with an easy understanding of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raken?

For me, the only real down side is when putting in a jobs cost codes. I have to go in and flip all the tiles then go back and click the ones I want to use. It would be easier to have them all flipped to "not used" and let me click the ones I want as I go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Raken has made my life easier!!"
5/5
What do you like best about Raken?

I work for a school district. We oversee the work and report it daily for every project. This would include taking pictures, getting labor counts, and writing notes. Overall, the task would take roughly two hours to complete, from getting the information to finishing the report. With Raken, I am on the site, open the app, and in 15 to 20 minutes the entire project report is ready for printing. Easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raken?

I have not found anything yet. The app and the desktop versions are easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
