What do you like best about Striven?

not much at this point. sure it can do some things but its super outdated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Striven?

it is horrible as a point of sales. like horrible. so many extra steps. you need to create a sales order, then send an invoice which will not update the sales order when the customer pays so then you need to go back and mark the sales order paid manually. everything seem to be a manuel process so your constantly going from screen to another trying to remember to mark them all. dont even bring up taking deposits you might as well give up when it comes to that. i would say striven is like going back 20 years compared to everything else. they butchered my books and items when transferring over. taxes will be very fun this year. my goal is to just not go bankrupt due to them. oh and emails always go to junk or spam so collecting payment from customer is also hellish Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Striven?

I have yet to find something I dislike or that Customer Support hasn't been able to explain. If I find it, I feel strongly they will make it right. But in that one case where they can't, I believe they live as I do using Lessons Learned and Continuous Improvement as a strong part of their process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Striven?

The fact that Striven puts everything on a web-based app makes it easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Striven?

Because the range of what Striven can cover many of the uses are not streamlined which is great for versatility but does not make the system intuitive. There are also some aspects that I believe should be simplified such as customer paying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Striven?

Striven brings everything we need into one place. It handles CRM, project management, accounting, HR, and inventory without needing separate tools. The system is easy to navigate, the reporting is detailed, and onboarding our team was smooth. The biggest benefit is how much time and money it saves while keeping our operations organized. Their support team is also quick, friendly, and always ready to help us succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Striven?

There is a learning curve at the start because Striven has so many features. It takes a little time to set up everything the way you want it. Once you get past that, it becomes much easier and more efficient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
