Striven Reviews & Product Details

I use striven for inventory management and supply chain management. Its ability to organize parts and suppliers is highly efficient and allows me to keep everything organized. I also use it when making purchase orders and the ability to sort items by class in my purchase orders has made it very easy to classify our items better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not many downsides. The main one I find is the reporting tool. I wish there were more options when creating reports, such as sorting by location and class. In addition, I wish there was the option to give users access to entire subdivisions, i.e., employees and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Striven is very helpful and responsive to needs. Most of the configuration happens as you go and discover how to setup. Striven is very user-friendly. The UI is excellent, and it handles our needs. Striven's open API makes it easy to sync with third parties without direct integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the controls around journal entry approvals are lacking. We are looking to add on FP&A tools and AP tools that Striven doesn't have but doesn't claim to have. These outside tools are entirely focused on their skill set. Striven is a niche company, and very few third-party systems have direct integrations. However, we have found this not a significant issue thus far, and Striven has expressed interest and openness to building these out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Striven allows our entire team to use the same software to communicate all aspects of our business. We are able to keep in contact with each other about what we are doing without having to track each individual down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The issue I have is that if a customer has the same name as another customer you receive a notice about a possible contact already in the database (which is good). However, you are unable to quickly check if it is the same customer or a different one without either opening a new tab or deleting all of the information you have just entered.

Striven is such a versatile platform. We use it for all project tasks including estimates, planning, task management, timekeeping, reporting, and invoicing. We're also able to also use it for HR, financial reconciliation, and document storage. Customer support is first-class and very responsive. They also have countless YouTube videos to help you accomplish whatever it is you're trying to do inside Striven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because we still use Quickbooks for some of our other financial tasks, it would be nice if Striven and Quickbooks records could be more easily synced and reconciled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Currently, I have no dislikes of the system as we just started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Striven is very user-friendly and, being internet based, it is accessible from anywhere! The way it is laid out makes it easy to edit and add information. Cannot beat the quality for the price and customer service has been great! Here at BCD Doors we plan to continue to use Striven for our inventory and bookkeeping needs!

Sometimes it feels like I'm creating my own program with ALL the options available. It is difficult to grasp the concept of what I'm doing, and how it's going to effect use of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I most like how everything is integrated into one tool. This tool can capture CRM, create and manage invoices, and pick items out of our inventory. Striven cuts down on the hassle of bouncing between tools and becoming versed with multiple different softwares. This is truly an all in one tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Striven sends me too many emails... but that's not the end of the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to have everything I need to run my business in one application, where the data is not in silos, but unified. Reduced the duplicated data entry, reducing risk of error. And everything is easily accessible on our phones too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had to find a work-around for a some minor things, but the resolutions are already in development and hopefully to be released in the near future. Meanwhile, we are having to manually input our retail sales until it can sync with Square. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to track and manage manufacturing / build orders & sales orders for simple and mid-level assemblies. It's nice to be able to manage customer relations as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit frustrating to use Striven as a means for customers to pay invoices / sales orders. Each customer must create an account to login and pay these, and each additional user is billed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The online instant live updates.

The eas of communication between team members on assigned jobs.

The ability to get a instant customer signature.

And finally the ability to see your scheduled appointments and any adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you could not download and get a signature of a ticket for when you are outside of cellular Internet range when you are in rural locations for inside of buildings that restrict cellular settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
