In its favor

Why people choose Striven

The signal that keeps Striven on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.

Small businesses choose Striven because it consolidates CRM, ERP, and project management into a single subscription rather than managing multiple disconnected tools.

The platform's customer support receives consistent praise across G2 reviews, with 8+ mentions citing helpfulness during implementation and early adoption.

Users repeatedly describe the platform as intuitive and easy to use, appreciating the seamless navigation for day-to-day tasks and processes.

Striven serves small business ERP needs at a lower price point than enterprise competitors like NetSuite or Acumatica, which are primary alternatives cited by reviewers.

The availability of Customer, Vendor, and Career Portals as add-on modules gives small businesses external-facing interfaces without requiring separate software.

Reviewers report that Striven lacks depth in supply chain, inventory, and purchasing management compared to specialized ERP solutions, with one third-party analysis scoring these modules below market average.

Organizations with complex, multi-entity, or international operations find Striven's consolidation and multi-currency capabilities insufficient for their needs.

Some users mention that certain vertical-specific modules — like construction estimating or field service management — feel underdeveloped compared to dedicated tools in those spaces.

The platform's all-in-one breadth means organizations requiring deep specialization in any single area eventually outgrow Striven and migrate to solutions like NetSuite or Odoo.

Platform scorecard

Strengths, weaknesses, and where Striven fits

Grades across six dimensions, plus a SWOT-style view of where the platform shines and where it falls short.

SWOT — strengths, weaknesses, and use-case fit

Strengths

Consolidated all-in-one ERP with CRM, accounting, inventory, HR, and project modules under one subscription.Transparent per-user pricing at $35 Standard and $70 Enterprise, with no surprise module costs for most SMB needs.Customer, Vendor, and Career Portals included as add-ons for external stakeholder engagement.Built-in Data Import/Export tool supporting CSV and Excel with validation, mapping, and bulk handling.Active community forum with documented accounting migration guides and implementation best practices.

Weaknesses

Module depth lags behind specialized ERP solutions, particularly in supply chain, inventory, and purchasing management (scored 87% of market average in one analysis).Workflows cannot be exported or migrated via API or CSV; they must be manually rebuilt in the target system.Rate limits for the REST API are not publicly documented, requiring us to probe limits during migration scoping.No native multi-entity or consolidated-entity capability, limiting use for holding-company or franchise structures.Under 5 users incurs an additional $25 per user surcharge, making small deployments more expensive than the base rate implies.

Where it works

Small businesses with 5–50 employees that need to consolidate CRM, accounting, inventory, and project management under a single subscription rather than managing multiple disconnected tools.Single-entity US-based organizations without complex multi-currency, multi-subsidiary, or international operations requirements.Service-based businesses that manage customers, vendors, and projects with straightforward inventory needs and moderate transaction volumes.Companies that value external stakeholder portals for customers, vendors, and job candidates without needing separate software or custom integrations.Teams with under 10 users who prioritize consolidation and ease of use over deep module specialization in supply chain or procurement.

Where it struggles

Organizations with complex supply chain, multi-warehouse, or advanced inventory management needs, where module depth scores 87% of market average.Franchise operators, holding companies, or businesses requiring consolidated financial reporting across multiple entities or subsidiaries.Companies with international operations requiring multi-currency support, foreign tax compliance, or cross-border consolidation capabilities.Organizations with fewer than 5 users, where the additional $25 per-user surcharge makes the platform more expensive than the base rate implies.Businesses requiring deep purchasing management capabilities, as Striven scores below market average across 260 purchasing features.

What gets migrated

Striven object support

Object-by-object support for Striven migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Customers

Fully supported

Customers are core entities in Striven, importable via CSV/Excel with validation. They link to Sales Orders, Invoices, and Customer Portals. We migrate them 1:1, preserving contact details and associations.

Vendors

Fully supported

Vendors map directly and feed into Purchase Orders and Bills. Striven's vendor records support type-level custom fields. We handle the import in the prerequisite phase before financial records.

Employees

Fully supported

Employee records are required prerequisites for accounting migration. They include time-tracking associations and role-based permissions. We migrate them in the foundational data phase.

Items

Fully supported

Items represent products or services and are required prerequisites before creating Sales Orders or Purchase Orders. We map Items with their pricing, inventory quantities, and custom fields.

Chart of Accounts

Fully supported

The GL Chart of Accounts is a hard prerequisite for any accounting migration. We sequence its import before open Invoices, Bills, or account balances. Account types and numbers map directly from the source.

Invoices

Mapping required

Open Invoices require Customers, Items, and a populated Chart of Accounts to exist first. We migrate invoice headers and line items, but Convenience Fee and Discount configurations tied to payment methods require manual re-setup post-import.

Bills

Mapping required

Open Bills follow the same dependency chain as Invoices. We import Bill headers and line items, but tax codes and payment terms that differ between systems may require field-level mapping review.

Sales Orders

Mapping required

Sales Orders link to Customers and Items. We migrate them with status preserved, but order types that drive custom field visibility may require type-level field mapping adjustments.

Purchase Orders

Mapping required

Purchase Orders require Vendors and Items to exist. We migrate PO headers and line items. Approval workflows attached to POs are not importable and must be rebuilt.

Projects

Mapping required

Projects exist as a module but their structure (phases, milestones, custom fields) varies. We map project headers and task hierarchies; custom field mapping per project type is required.

Tasks

Mapping required

Tasks under Projects are migrated as child records with assignees preserved. Subtask hierarchies and dependency relationships require explicit mapping work.

Custom Fields

Mapping required

Striven distinguishes global-level and type-level Custom Fields. Global fields appear on all records of a type; type-level fields are scoped to specific entity types. We must audit the custom field schema before migration to set the correct visibility and required-field behavior.

Workflows (Triggers and Actions)

Not in this platform

Striven Workflows are trigger/action automation rules tied to internal event listeners and email integrations. They cannot be exported or imported via the API or CSV tools. We do not migrate Workflows; customers must rebuild them in the destination system after cutover.

Assets

Mapping required

Fixed Assets in Striven include depreciation schedules and depreciation methods. We migrate asset records and current book values; the destination system's depreciation engine may differ and requires validation.

Documents

Mapping required

Document attachments are linked to entities. We migrate the association metadata but do not migrate the binary files themselves unless the customer's source system exposes a file export. Document metadata is preserved in the mapping file for manual re-attachment.

Gotchas

How a Striven migration works

Four steps, Striven-specific

Connect

OAuth 2.0 (Client ID + Client Secret) into Striven. Scopes limited to read-only on the data we move.

Map

We translate Striven-specific structures (custom fields, objects, value lists) to the destination's model.

Sample

Test with a 50–200 record subset to validate Striven quirks before production.

Migrate

Full migration with Striven rate-limit handling. Rollback available throughout.
