Saves SOOOOO much time and makes me look SOOOO smart!
Wonderful. One of the tools I couldn't survive without as an agency managing multiple companies.
PROSI can research companies that aren't my clients yet and tell them things they don't know about their own site and competition. And once they are clients and I get access to ALL the data, they just think I'm a genius with superpowers! I set up automated reports to all my clients so I don't have to do that manually anymore, and it reminds me to take a peek once a week at the smaller accounts too. Great price, feature-packed. Can't say enough. Buy this, you won't regret it!
CONSI with the social tools were stronger, I use a separate tool for tracking social (and pay a separate fee of course, such is life)

Great tool at a fair price.
It's been great for automating our reporting. And managing multiple data sources into one report.
PROSThe ease of connecting multiple datasources is great. The simple project management and profiles are an easy way to track campaigns.
CONSThe design options for the reporting, and the price compared to Google Data Studio. GDS is doing scheduled reporting now which is what our main reason for using Raven Tools was. We are trying to implement more of the Raven Tools features into our business to justify the cost but have not yet decided if it's worth the money.

You Solve One Problem... Reporting but its not worth that much
Google Analytics integration - awesome - google search console integration - awesome, social posting tool - you need instagram reminders to stay competitive - I would use otherwise, team integration - awesome -
PROSI love your reporting tool. It is easy to integrate and the web option is amazing. I wish I had enough money to just use your reporting tool.
CONSThe content to wordpress tool - broken, technical audit tool - most likely the worst I have seen.
Reason for choosing Raven Tools
Pricing - and mostly your reporting tool. I have really been rooting for you to win - but.. the technical SEO tool is sad... and I simply cannot work with that. It's too important and my budget is limited.

Great, Reliable Product for Marketing Reports
Great experience overall. Haven't needed much support. Easy to use!
PROSCustomization, white labeling, integrations
CONSMiss the old PDF reports, although the new ones are nice too
Reason for choosing Raven Tools
We used to use Moz Pro for a variety of things outside of just reporting, and I considered using their reports but Raven is by far superior from the reporting aspect
Reasons for switching to Raven Tools
Better UI, costs were more favorable, more tailored to what we needed vs. WebCEO which wasn't as customizable

So good I cannot find an alternative
Excellent. I've enjoyed working with RavenTools, it's self-explanatory, controllable, customisable and a first-rate all-round SEO reporting/analysis tool, I've tried much of the competition and nothing yet has beaten Raven tools. I'm not always sure Raven Tools know how good they are.
PROSRavenTools gives me a one-stop-access-shop for all my SEO Reporting needs, clients can also access and the suite of tools offered is pretty comprehensive. It's a full solution, unlike anything any of their competitors can offer. The thing I like most is the fully customizable reporting.
CONSNeglect, sadly Raventools feels a bit neglected these days, the rate of new features has slowed down and some 'must-haves' never seem to get done, for example, Instagram Integration... My second regret is page load times, I appreciate that some of the data being loading in the background is complicated, but the load times fo pages is slow.

One of my go to tools, especially for monthly reports
I check it almost daily for my clients' digital campaigns and we send detailed monthly reports to all our clients.
PROSIt connects most of my other tools well, such as google analytics and search console. We use it primarily for its attractive reporting that pulls all the data together to present to our clients
CONSThe ranking feature of it is not as good as other ranking tools I use, and the cost for that can be expensive as well.

Raven Tools Review
Raven Tools is a good tool overall, but falls short of tools SEMrush, ahrefs, and even Moz.
PROSI think the keyword research side of Raven is the most attractive thing about the software. It's easy to use and gives great data.
CONSI don't think it's super user friendly. There are a lot of tools, but they aren't all easy to find or navigate too.

Digital Marketing Tools That Look Good
The automated reports for SEO and PPC were among the best that I have seen from the different digital marketing tools. It was easy to generate new reports and include all the important information or remove unneeded sections. The audits were very nice and didn't include anything that wasn't useful.
CONSRank tracking wasn't great and felt a little clunky compared to other rank tracking options. A few other tools did better jobs at providing specific data, but overall it's a good option.

Good value for money for specific things
I've been using this software for various SEO related tasks such as keyword research, SEO assessment, link building, SERP tracking (before it was discontinued) and other functions but mostly reporting. The interface used to be slow but it improved. It was very helpful in the beginning in creating really impressive reports and earning me leads with its page assessment. Occasionally I would find bugs but customer support would help. It's a very chaotic industry and providing help is important esp. for a low price compared to competitors.
PROSRelatively cheap Fully featured Recent redesign/userfriendly
CONSBugs in reporting numbers SEO assessment needs update Facebook ads reporting Overall it needs to redefine itself, possibly rejecting features and focusing on what they do best

Great website marketing tool
Plenty of features with the option to white label the system for clients. Creating automated reports is a huge timesaver and being able to work on multiple sites at the same time.
CONSThe user interfacer can sometimes feel a little clunky.

Come a Long Way
Was with the before and left, they changed a few things and now it's the best!
PROSSEO Audit and Keyword Tracking are really strong. Audit is very in depth and technical.
CONSLocal tracking could be better, but still better than most. The other features more than make up for it.

Best Value for Digital Agencies
Raven solves core business efficiency problems for agencies in that it consolidates multiple tools into one and saves them money and time, making them look like rockstars to their prospects and clients.
PROSThe sheer number of tools available within this software is incredible compared to the cost per month. I recommend it to many of the agencies I work with, as we used it at my former agency with great success in being able to offer technical site audits, automate reporting (including organic and paid search, social media and email marketing via APIs), keep tabs on competitors, monitor position for targeted keywords, and more.
CONSThere are some slight limitations on the presentation of data (ie. single metric on a blank page when exporting a report, etc.)
Reason for choosing Raven Tools
Raven included nearly all of the functionality of the options considered and at a lower cost per month.

Great product that is easy to use
We started with RavenTools for reporting and looked into a number of other things to make sure we weren't missing anything (what that was, we didn't quite know - but we wanted to know what we didn't know, you know?). We checked out Google Data Studios (too time-consuming, too much potential for user error), TapClicks (total crap), and others.
PROS- Relatively easy to use, can poke around and figure things out yourself after some time with the interface - Easy to pull info from many sources into one report and add commentary/screenshots - Can compare across many date ranges - It looks professional - The price point feels right
CONS- The navigation is a little funky - have to Google how to remove client from a section every time - Sometimes the reports just stop working or data stops pulling in - not too frequent but have to delete/re-connect tools sometimes
Reason for choosing Raven Tools
Easy to use, pulled in the right platforms.

Pretty Happy
Generally good. It’s missing Pinterest and a couple others so difficult to give full customer reports
PROSComprehensive and very user friendly, a lot of value for the money
CONSA bug in software using ‘more metrics’ ant items using campaigns where individual campaigns can be selected; the default is ‘all campaigns ‘ but it really only adds the first campaign. We had to go in individually and select all campaigns

Raven_Review
We use Raven for all our SEO reviews and also run crawls post-release (we develop websites) to look for page errors. We have only just scratched the surface with the other features in the product but they look promising. We have used Raven for 5 years and it has served us well - there are many other products out there so we would have switched if not satisfied. (we never use Raven to incorporate GA and other data into one place, we use Google Data Studio for that)
PROSWe started using Raven for just SEO, I like that more and more features have been added and we now use it for backlink analysis, keyword tracking and competitor comparisons.
CONSThe interface has always been a bit clunky and non-intuitive and it wasn't easy to export to spreadsheet for deeper analysis. This has been improved recently.

Supreme tool
Many SEO reporting tools take up too much time in setup and maintenance. Raven is quick & reliable to setup & use, plus it's biggest advantages are its flexible data sources and easy reporting tools.
PROS*Simplified reporting saves time * Raven merges data from all the regular data sources to provide a simple unified report centre. * It just works with minimum fuss, and the reports look great.
CONS*I was hoping Raven may yet be able to send data to Google sheets - currently it only retrieves data from Google Sheets *Other than that, most things have been thought of!

Great tool for teaching future Search Marketers
This has become my go to tool for teaching students about Marketing Technology. Every time I have had an issue, the customer service team has come through with a timely and viable solution. The integration with other platforms, and the grouping of metrics is exactly what I need to help my students understand the big and small pictures.
PROSThe thing I like best is the way that they bring so many aspects of understanding a client's online presence into a single interface. Additionally, the integration of content to help understand the "What is it and Why Does it Matter" for the various metrics is huge for helping people understand they Why behind these very technical elements.
CONSUser management is a little difficult to get your head around at first.
Reasons for switching to Raven Tools
It is a comprehensive tool that allowed me to go from teaching about tools to teaching about the Metrics that the tools are there to measure.

A solid set of tools
I think I know how to use it fully and well.
PROSIt is easy to use and provides a full set of services to base decisions about SEO PPC & Social media
CONSIt uses pop ups which a lot of browsers interfere with. Unless you know how the settings for popups works in your browser this hampers the functionality.
Reason for choosing Raven Tools
We use a suit of products of which Raven is only one. Raven doesn't do everything but it does work well with other products. Therefore the cost of Raven needs to stay at an affordable level.
