“Your are then passed on to a ‘Customer Success Manager’ who processes your set up and sends it off to IT coders in what they call “I generated a ticket”. But coders are absolutely inexperienced in construction cost coding. And cannot deliver what sales committed to.“

### "10 Stars!!"

May 22, 2025

5.0

Amazing! We are finally getting site and field workers using it. Its easy to use and easy to report from.

Pros

The onboarding team. Although 99% of my start up was with \[sensitive content hidden\] I also felt that \[sensitive content hidden\] was helpful. \[sensitive content hidden\] is the reason we went with Raken.

Cons

I have no complaints thus far. I am happy with te response and the service from your companies team.

### "Needs improvement"

December 2, 2024

3.0

It's okay but unfortunately, I have worked with better systems.

Pros

It's an okay system for timecards, however, you have access to everyone's timecard in this system. It also doesn't allow you to sign your timecard daily.

Cons

I stored my signature on file however I get an email notice every week to review and sign my timecard, however, it does not allow me to just insert my stored signature so I have to write it every time. It is very annoying and time-consuming.

October 1, 2024

I have about 20 pounds less paperwork on my desk week to week thanks to Raken!😂

Pros

After getting into the app it has changed the way we monitor our jobs. It’s been a great addition to our company!

I can’t say what I like least. It’s a really good app with great customer support.

### "You can teach older dogs new tricks"

October 1, 2024

5.0

Experience has been spectacular, \[sensitive content hidden\] have been incredible to deal with.

Pros

Raken's support is second to none. They are always responsive, patient and knowledgeable. The software speaks for itself. Most of my field staff is not tech savy and they fought me every step of the way until they actually had to use Raken for the first time, now I get calls if the project is not set up in Raken. I would have never believed it if I didn't see it for myself.

Cons

One criticism is the need to have reports emailed instead of being able to just view them.

Pros

It is easy and quick to work with on a project. You van work on your, IPad or laptop all in the same day.

Would recommend even just to get daily information on multiple projects. The information flows to the entire team.

Pros

\[sensitive content hidden\] was great to work with. Very responsive/ knowledgeable and easy to speak to. Customer service was on point

Cons

Was tough starting from scratch but with the team we worked out issues easy. It was a bit of an issue to connect with our accounting software.

### "Preferred document management platform."

April 5, 2024

5.0

Very positive. Much preferred to other platforms I have used or reviewed.

Pros

Easy to use. Our field team has created reports that have proven to be significant down the road.

Cons

Difficult to implement changes to the templates. Templates are not very flexible.

### "Coordinator Review"

April 2, 2024

4.0

I find Raken to be extremely useful. It provides logging and "eyes in the field" from the office.

Pros

I like the ease of use, training tool and data logging options.

Cons

I do not like that I have to contact Tech Support if one of the Techs has found themselves locked out of the app. It would be quicker/easier if I had the option to reset the password link for them.

### "Raken Review"

November 13, 2024

5.0

Over the years it has been great. Especially the little improvements that happen within the software. It is obvious that the team at Raken listens to the feedback of its customers. There has also been a couple of hiccups that I have had, but they were definitely user error.\[sensitive content hidden\] in support was able to help me out quickly and above my expectations!

Pros

Ease of tracking job progress for manpower and progress.

Cons

Some times it is difficult to find exactly what you are looking for, but it gets easier as you navigate through more and more.

### "New to the Raken Block"

October 31, 2024

4.0

Even the trouble I've had, a quick chat and bam, problem solved!

Pros

I have used Field Wire and Procore extensively. Neither allow the collaboration, and interaction of a large agency like HDR implements with Raken. Al the others have their high points, but communication together is more important daily than the recording of events. Good Job!

Cons

I have not used any of the drawing interactive features. Using Procore, there was too much sharing of this resource. Only the PM and Super should be able to red line. Will weigh in later

Raken seems somewhat helpful in keeping the details for different jobsites.

### "Raken works well with sage product"

April 4, 2024

5.0

The start was slow as we kept running into compatibility issues. Once connected it was a very fast transition. Team was super helpfull in trying to get the program installed and ready.

Pros

Once the setup was completed. the ease at which we can upload pay hours and gather reports was amazing and most workers have adjusted to it quite well.

Cons

Equipment tracking is currently the worst feature. you can only add equipment by hours. you can' separate it into different segments. and when you are working on and off a project each time you move the equipment it creates an entry and make it really hard to track/ has too many entires.

Reason for choosing RAKEN

Had the best project management cababilities.

### "Functional Program that has the potential for so much more."

November 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

It is easy to start using and requires minimal instruction. The daily report is nice once it is processed.

Cons

The updates that occur seem to down grade the system. There has not been an update that we have been excited about. The last one wiped out many of the things we liked.

April 2, 2024

5.0

It has been great and really love working with Cody Armes

Pros

I love the daily report. Our owners & CMs love seeing that daily. They never have to worry on what is going on because of the write up and the pictures included on that.

Cons

So far there is nothing that I don't like about. When used correctly you get a lot of valuable information.

### "Great for construction management "

May 11, 2023

5.0

I have used it daily for 13 years between the 2 companies I have worked for

Pros

You answer questions and upload pictures and the format of the report is put together for you

Cons

It can be glitchy. I don’t like that you can’t add pictures to the equipment if you have already passed that day

### "Success with Raken for construction management"

May 12, 2023

5.0

We have been really happy with Raken customer support.

Pros

Raken allows for easily uploading field notes and progress photos. We also have created customized checklists that we use for project initiation, preconstruction and progress meetings and punch list.

Cons

It would be better if the checklists were available right from the main screen where the daily report is listed. I think that would help team members remember. They are a little bit buried and not intuitive to find.

April 3, 2024

5.0

Raken has been a very valuable tool in project tracking and documentation.

Pros

The documentation of verbiage and photos. The ability to share these with offsite clients and stakeholders.

Cons

The system seems to update periodically without prior warning. A brief heads-up would be helpful.

### "Construction Technology Trends 2018"

October 26, 2018

4.0

I have not been using it that log and am just getting started on a new project, so not that many subs are on board. I think it is adequate but could have a few more features where you can customize tabs. It doesn't seem like it is not that easy to filter and search topics (but i'm not completely familiar with all features).

Pros

Raken is fairly simple to use. Its feature are not complex or convoluted, and it covers enough to reflect accurate daley activities. I use the software mostly through my phone, but you have the option to do it from a PC.

Cons

Depending on network coverage using from your phone can be negative. When you go into the photo app you can't see the dates photos were taking making it difficult to select correct date range. If sub contractors are inputting info, it would be nice if it showed within specific area (subs work log) real time, so that it can be integrated within licensed users Log (not separate)
