Senior Accountant Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Extremely Robust and Dynamic" July 27, 2021 5.0 Everyone within the company has been extremely helpful and responsive. The different departments worked very well together to pass along information that had been given so that our company did not have to constantly repeat information for the integration. They answer our questions quickly and accurately and we have had essentially zero hiccups along the way. Pros This software has everything a business would need all in one place. Too many times do companies find themselves needing a handful of different software programs to organize their different departments. Striven takes all those major departments and stores it in one place, which makes it significantly easier to track, organize, and provide the information needed. Cons There are so many features it can be a bit intimidating to learn for a user who is used to much less.

Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Far beyond our expectations" August 19, 2021 5.0 The staff have been wonderful to work with. They are very direct with there vision, feature capability, and direction of software. There support team have been very crucial in helping us get started with our migration. The overall software has been very well developed and functionality has already saved hours of time in our day to day operations. Pros I love the customization of this software. I can treat any report that narrows down exactly the info I need for invoicing, quoting, part management and more. In the few short months we have used it and very little training I have been able to navigate this system and save myself hours of unnecessary data entry. The ease of use and import has been a huge highlight to this software. They are constantly putting forth effort to make this software improved in function and reliability. Cons Consistency within features that do not go parallel through out the software. Some of the reports could have cross data to give a more comprehensive report however they said this maybe in a future feature release. Reports are still extremely powerful. Reason for choosing Striven It had the major components we needed with POS, Quotes, Invoices, Inventory management and customer portal. It was a easier solution to use and showed with the trial a reduction in time needed to perform basic functions within the software. Switched from [Total Office Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/80729/Total-Office-Manager/) The performance in our previous solution was very unsteady. We were spending hours of time doing data entry and redoing work due to system failures. The software we came from was very feature driven which cause the performance to be very slow and unreliable.

Pros Love the way all of my information is in one application. Less data entry, producing less risk for error. Information is not in silos, but unified. Can run reports and really understand all the parts of the whole together. Cons Wish it integrated and would sync with Square for my retail component, but we did find a work-around for now.

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. Reason for choosing Striven Striven management team convinced me that the training and support they would give me to prepare to switch so it would not be to disruptive to our business would be there and they delivered. Striven did not force a go-live day before we were ready. I had experience with other companies who push go-live days prior to a company being truly ready and properly trained and they turned into a disaster. Not not saying that our go -live was easy. All change is hard but the Striven Team especially our personal coordinator and guide that Striven provide was great and is still on call at all times to help with any thing we may need.

Purchasing Striven ahead of time is going to make it so much easier to grow without data migration and I can grow into additional features/functions to suit my business needs with each growth stage. \[sensitive content hidden\] was phenomenal through the process and was a huge part of me joining. The level of communication and support has been fantastic. I'm looking forward to reducing my role in other areas of he business so I can spend more time in Striven and how I can better use it to serve my team better. Pros The support is next level. Fairly easy to maneuver in Striven and only had to learn a few tasks/clicks that seamed foreign to my experience with other CRM software. Cons when choosing a category like clients or vendors it doesn't automatically give you a list. you have to click the search button to populate the list which is an unnecessary step for me.
