Reviews over RAKEN

Raken has made life easier
Opmerkingen: Raken has been an excellent partner during the entire journey. From the pitch, through proof of concept, license negotiations, implementation, and production, Raken has been very easy to deal with the entire way.
Pluspunten:
The struggle to produce quality daily reports at construction sites used to be real. Raken gave us an "Easy" button. It is almost hard to imagine life before Raken.
Minpunten:
Raken has some extremely nice checklist features to collect data on the mobile app. The only con, is that getting to the data behind these checklists is not possible beyond the PDF report that the checklist produces.
Eerder overwogen alternatieven:
Preferred document management platform.
Opmerkingen: Very positive. Much preferred to other platforms I have used or reviewed.
Pluspunten:
Easy to use. Our field team has created reports that have proven to be significant down the road.
Minpunten:
Difficult to implement changes to the templates. Templates are not very flexible.
My Raken app is barely usable.
Opmerkingen: I have been utilizing this app for construction purposes for six years, and it has generally been reliable. However, following an update last summer, the app's performance on my Pixel Pro 7 has been inconsistent. Unlike other apps on my phone, this app now experiences frequent issues. Inputting notes and pictures now require multiple attempts, and the app often reboots and shuts off unexpectedly. Despite reaching out to tech support multiple times and following their suggestions, the problems persist. As a result, I have suggested to my employer that we consider transitioning to Procore.
Pluspunten:
The app is very easy to use when it's working properly.
Minpunten:
The constant rebooting of the app while trying to utilize it on the job site.
My humble prospective.
Opmerkingen: Very good, they are always dedicated to making their product better, and their customer service is great.
Pluspunten:
Variety of ways to enter data, solidly switches between entry platforms. ie laptop to iPad to mobile phone. voice entry works great! reports are painless and easy to share.
Minpunten:
Its a little rough on searching past history...

Opmerkingen: Experience has been spectacular, [sensitive content hidden] have been incredible to deal with.
Pluspunten:
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.
Minpunten:
One criticism is the need to have reports emailed instead of being able to just view them.
A Resource Manager's Perspective on Raken
Opmerkingen: I would say it has been a good overall experience. Especially since this is the first and only construction app that we checked out and immediately put to use. We were able to add about 9 jobs in a two week period as it was being put into use.
Pluspunten:
It consolidated into one program that we could utilize for tracking job costs, work done, employee hours and materials used on the job.
Minpunten:
At times, it does seem to be a little pricey when adding a new "seat at the table."
Well Organized.
Opmerkingen: It has been great and really love working with Cody Armes
Pluspunten:
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.
Minpunten:
So far there is nothing that I don't like about. When used correctly you get a lot of valuable information.
Easy to use
Opmerkingen: I have been a user of Raken for nearly 10 year and have introduced and used in two different construction companies.
Pluspunten:
I find the app easy to use and navigate. It is only limited to what you input into the app.
Minpunten:
I cannot think of any cons at this time.
Recommend this program
Opmerkingen: It's easy to navigate and It is easy to keep track of your important documents
Pluspunten:
pretty easy to navigate and it is pretty self explanatory.
Minpunten:
I have no opinion on this. I cant think of a thing that I don't like about it.
Raken Review
Opmerkingen: 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!
Pluspunten:
Ease of tracking job progress for manpower and progress.
Minpunten:
Some times it is difficult to find exactly what you are looking for, but it gets easier as you navigate through more and more.

Coordinator Review
Opmerkingen: I find Raken to be extremely useful. It provides logging and "eyes in the field" from the office.
Pluspunten:
I like the ease of use, training tool and data logging options.
Minpunten:
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.

Diamond in the rough...and it is rough!
Opmerkingen: Fantastic team, all very helpful...I have not spent one minute feeling like a number or a dollar sign. My sales person [SENSITIVE CONTENT], phenomenal. One of the best sales approaches with the proper follow up that I have ever been involved with. He made this so easy. This software has made keeping track of what goes where with who and when as easy as can be. Each of my Foremen/Project managers can get their notes in all day long instead of spending 30 minutes to an hour at the end of each day to dump information to the cloud. It's quick, it's fast, it keepsy company moving!
Pluspunten:
Offline functionalityEase of usePriceEasily accsessible in the fielsUsing the App interface for data collecting along with the desktop site for organization and processing info seemlessly integrates my field operators with my office support team so we never miss a beat!
Minpunten:
Would like a little more customization options but I haven't even had our full set up yet so I am sure it's coming. Would like to be able to assign tasks to mutiple people without recreating the task. Would like name and time stamps on notes.
General Field Superintendent

The mobile app is the best, so simple to use while you are walking or in meetings.
Minpunten:
I do not have any complaints about Raken at this time

Happy with our investment
Opmerkingen: Overall we are happy with Raken and will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.
Pluspunten:
Helps keep our projects organized and moving forward smoothly. support is great and helpful with looking into upgrades and requests for improvements is welcome.
Minpunten:
The learning curve for certain personnel onsite is difficult and slow to accept. Some modules need overhauls to make more user friendly and some features added are needed like date stamps on task completion.
Great for construction management
Opmerkingen: I have used it daily for 13 years between the 2 companies I have worked for
Pluspunten:
You answer questions and upload pictures and the format of the report is put together for you
Minpunten:
It can be glitchy. I don’t like that you can’t add pictures to the equipment if you have already passed that day
Functional Program that has the potential for so much more.
Pluspunten:
It is easy to start using and requires minimal instruction. The daily report is nice once it is processed.
Minpunten:
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.

Raken Review
Opmerkingen: We have been using the Raken app now for almost 8 months. We have found that this greatly cuts on paper waste, and improves response time by having uploads available in real time.
Pluspunten:
We are a commercial wood framing company. The best feature of this app is the ease of use for all of our foremen. The speak-to-text works great, and uploading pictures are simple. This gives us plenty of real-tie information.
Minpunten:
Once you have multiple projects going, sometimes it is difficult to find a specific log that mentions a key item you are looking for from a month or two ago. A keyword search feature to sort through the daily logs would be nice.

Thanks for the feedback, Isauro! Really glad to hear that Raken has been working out well. In regards to the keyword search, you can actually use the 'Dashboard' tool from the app to search through all your old reports. Once in the 'Dashboard', there's a search icon in the top right, feel free to contact our support if you need any [email protected] if you need assistance. Thanks again!
Raken for construction reporting.
Opmerkingen: We are steel erectors running 3 crews. We were going crazy trying to keep up with who was where doing what. None of our Forman are good with paper processing. We introduced them to Raken and we get more detail on a daily basis that we ever thought possible. They love it....what was burdensome communication is now bragging rights....the Forman take pride in their work and out-do each other with amazing photos of work completion and level of daily accomplishment. We are no longer chasing down fuel and charge card receipts as they just snap a picture of it, include it in the daily activity report and throw the paper away. No more Monday morning crisis calls from the office trying to sort payroll, either. We close everyday knowing how many hours each employee worked on each job. Payroll and cost accounting can now be processed daily and by Monday morning, payroll is all ready to go with the push of a button. The Daily Reports are also very professional in appearance. We are often treated like small potatoes by large General Contractors and now, with our Daily Reports, we no longer have long negotiation sessions over Change Order requests because our work is accurately and professionally documented along with photographs. Thanks, Raken. We are fans.
Pluspunten:
simplicity, affordability
Minpunten:
limited search ability from the app.

Thanks for the review Susan! Glad we could make your daily reporting process much simpler.
Best Software for Daily Reports
Opmerkingen: We have been able to easily track many daily reports of our projects using Raken. Being able to have them all in one location is nice. Also, sending out daily reports to other people that need to see them is a great feature.
Pluspunten:
Using Raken for the past 3+ years, I have seen the software develop and continue to expand. Raken strives to be on the leading edge for keeping track of day to day activities on a construction site. Using the app on my phone or tablet has been very helpful in keeping track of jobsite Daily Reports. Being able to attach pictures to the report is great.
Minpunten:
There has not been any issues or problems with the software that has stood out to me. Only thing I've had trouble with in the past has been pictures uploading sideways. This was corrected with an update to the app.

Hey Tim, thank you for the review and feedback!
Love Raken - Highly recommend
Opmerkingen: Tracking and receiving daily reports is made possible. Without Raken it would be a paperwork nightmare for everyone.
Pluspunten:
The support is the best support out of all the software packages we use. The developers respond quickly to bigger issues and most importantly the software is incredibly intuitive and well designed. All spectrum of technical skills in our company can use it with ease.
Minpunten:
I wish they had more functionalities that we could use. We really only use the Daily reporting function. I would love to be able to download everything into an excel file.

Thanks for your feedback, Nichole! We have an Excel report called Manpower Summary which includes every work log ever entered into a daily report including the hours, the name of the contractor, and the description of the work performed. Please reach out to us at [email protected] and we will give you a rundown of this feature. Thank you!
