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

Robust SEO Tool For The Industry Professionals
I've been using Raven Tools for several months and it has made managing my digital marketing activities much easier. The comprehensive dashboard simplifies the process of tracking insights and progress, reducing time-consuming manual data entry tasks. The intuitive platform is easy to get up and running, while the advanced analytics capabilities allow me to gain a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of my campaigns. I'm especially happy with their customer service which is always prompt and helpful in resolving any issues or queries I may have. Overall, I'm very pleased with my experience using Raven Tools - it's a great tool for helping keep on top of all things digital marketing!
PROSRaven Tools is an invaluable resource when it comes to digital marketing. Its interface is exceptionally user-friendly, enabling me to segment campaigns easily and track performance in real-time. I particularly liked the keyword tracking feature – being able to see exactly where I am ranking in search engine results for relevant terms saves me countless hours of research and analysis. In addition, Raven's support team has always been incredibly helpful, often going above and beyond to answer any questions or address any concerns I have with their system. All in all, using Raven Tools was a great experience that has improved my efficiency significantly as a digital marketer.
CONSUnfortunately, Raven Tools had some downsides that prevented us from using it to its full potential. We found the technical support lacking in comparison to other providers, as there was often a long wait time between sending a request and receiving an answer. Furthermore, the user interface felt outdated, making it hard to navigate and utilize some of the more advanced tools. Further updates and optimization would be beneficial so that we could make use of the available features more effectively.

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.

Easy To Use Software - Best Reporting Tool
Great experience, the company is always growing and improving their tool sets.
PROSThe ability to set up reports and white label them was our company's number one draw. The number of types of sources you can pull into the reports was valuable as our clients use a number of data inputs. The affordability of the software is also important.
CONSLack of suggestions or ideas in how to improve SEO problems based on competition, types of keywords being searched in comparison to competitors.

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.

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

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.

PROSOur agency has been using Raven Tools for years. We use it daily. Our clients absolutely love the professional looking reports and makes us look like rock stars.
CONSWe really have nothing bad to say. The software is so mature and well developed at this point; that every new feature is just more cherries on top of the icing.

PROSWe started using Raven to automate monthly PPC spend, and it does this very well. We continue to discover new features and ways to automate how to deliver to clients.
CONSIt's not so much dislike as it is just time to discover it's full capabilities.

Stellar Presentation and Review Software, When in the Right Hands
When analyzing the fine details of a combined SEM/SEO/social media campaign, it can be tough to put all the details in one place. Raven Tools makes a large web of information accessible in one place. It takes time, patience, and a little finesse to get everything set up properly, but the result is a smooth finish for presenting complex information.
PROSI have been amazed by the variety of schematics I have at my fingertips. After some getting used to, it is easy to put together a deeply informative report, and to update that same report monthly or annually, or for any span of time for that matter.
CONSThe most frustrating situation that I have encountered is figuring out whether the numbers are being pulled accurately, and where things may have gone wrong. Sometimes the applications it is pulling don't have the data available, sometimes it's set up with the wrong credentials. Raven tools is usually the last to know that something's gone wrong, and can't tell you how to fix it.

I like the link tracking software, but I dislike the bulk upload options. They aren't esy.
CONSIt isn't intuitively designed. I dislike having to look around to find features I'm looking for. Everything feels like it's deep within menus.
