While the software had a lot of great features, I found that it was difficult to tailor it to my specific needs and preferences. - Another issue I had with Striven was the lack of customer support. When I had questions or encountered problems, I found it difficult to get in touch with someone who could help me. - Integrations with marketing platforms like Gohighlevel are lacking. ## Striven customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 130 (page 1). ### An all in one solution that simplifies business management - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jonathan C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Logistics and Supply Chain - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, Striven has been a game changer for our business. It combines all the core functions we need into one platform, making collaboration, task management, and client communication much easier. We have gained efficiency, reduced mistakes, and have better visibility into every part of the company. The investment has been well worth it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Striven gives us everything we need in one system. From workflow management to CRM, inventory, accounting, and project tracking, it eliminates the need for multiple tools. The interface is clean, the reporting is powerful, and the customer support team is outstanding. It has saved us time and money while keeping operations more organized. #### Cons Because Striven covers so many areas, there is a learning curve at the beginning. It takes a little time to get everything set up and customized for your needs. Once it is in place, the system runs smoothly and is easy to manage. #### Reasons for choosing Striven We chose Striven over Zoho CRM because it offered a complete all in one platform rather than forcing us to piece together multiple apps. Striven combines CRM, project management, accounting, and workflow tools in a single system. It is easier to manage, more cost effective in the long run, and the customer support team is much more responsive. #### Reasons for switching to Striven We switched from Odoo because it required too many separate modules and add ons to cover everything we needed. It quickly became complicated and harder to manage. Striven gave us a true all in one platform with CRM, workflow, accounting, and project management built in, which made it much easier to use and far more efficient for our team. --- ### Very happy with our decision to move to Striven for Accounting - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tom H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Industrial Automation - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

When we move to using an outside payroll company, we will be able to make use of Striven's integrations. #### Reasons for choosing Striven Best mix of cost and capabilities compared to that of lower cost alternatives that did not offer an integrated solution with every thing we needed + more, and the Cost high functionality alternatives with accounting plus other valuable functions such as CRM & Project Management #### Reasons for switching to Striven We had a server in the office hosting our Sage 50 Quantum instance. We wanted to be free from being connected to office network, VPN, and gain functionality instead of giving up functionality for cloud-based and mobile device access. Also wanted to be able to do the majority of the setup ourselves. --- ### A+ Satisfaction - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: April P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

It crashes at least once a day and has to be closed out and reopened which takes too long when it is busy season. --- ### Very happy with Striven - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Darlene M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Striven just keeps getting better and better. Monthly updates come out with little improvements that you never knew you needed or they are updates that are added to Striven based on a suggestion. How wonderful that you say, it would be great if this could happen and within a month or two the change has been made. The customer service is also second to none. I recently reached out to my go to girl at Striven, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], for an issue that ended up being a gmail issue and not Striven. She patiently worked with me to investigate and come up with a solution for me. The people at Striven are the best part. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros All aspects of our orders/work can be easily tracked and everything is related from invoices to customers, tasks to the work crew, quotes from our vendors, purchase orders, completion documents, etc. It keeps all of our projects and jobs totally organized and it gives us a snapshot of profitability of each job. The other think is the ease of use. We just bought on a new Project Manager who would prefer never to turn on a computer. We should him what he needed to do on Striven for his work and he was immediately hooked. The nervousness of being on our system went away the first day he was using Strvien #### Cons Very little on this system I don't like. One minor thing that was an issue is the fact that item lines on sales orders could not be moved around. We mentioned it to Striven and they loved the idea and now we hope to see this change in an upcoming release. --- ### Software that acts like it's expensive but it's not - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lisa L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
