    Pros
    I couldn't be happier with the ease of use, time savings, outstanding format and customer service. I HIGHLY recommend this to any contracting firm looking for a way to streamline their daily reports.
    Raken solves that with its easy to use interface, cloud storage, and impressive looking reports. What sold us the most on the product was its ability to incorporate photos into our reports.
    This is a good piece of software for small to mid size contractors. It allows easy tracking of time and costs allocated to a project, and can help keep you on track to maintain profitability.
    Cons
    The app keeps logging my guys out & they have problems logging back in. I am having problems getting my reports.
    As a Superintendent for a commercial construction company, it is hard to find time to sit down and fill out your log book. Let alone track down pictures and organize them so they relate to that day.
    I do have a suggestion if you could make the workers to where if you made a mistake while inputting their information (name) to be able to edit instead of having to delete & redo.

    Use It Everyday To Make My Life Easier

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Helps me a lot with my day to day daily logs, making them all in the same location, easy to find and easy to read. Everyone is able to use the software. It is very easy to pick up and go.

    Pros

    It's super easy to upload photos, even on my slow connection it handles them easily. I LOVE that you can roll-over previous days work load, since most days my subs are doing the same things.

    Cons

    Too many tabs to click through. It would be better if everything was all in one location.

    Vendor response

    Thank you for the awesome feedback, we appreciate it!

    Don't waste more time on daily reports and stay organized!

    Reviewed 5 years ago
    Pros

    1) Its both on the mobile and desktop 2) I added all work logs so that I am always reminded of what things I have to look into 3) It has a task list 4) Can easily navigate between days / work logs 5) You can add pictures directly to any work log 6) It reminds you if you missed a daily report and you can specify which days you work 7) When you have repetitive work logs every day, you can use the roll...

    Cons

    1) I can not export all pictures or reports at once if i'm on the lowest plan 2) when you add a work log, its added to all future days ahead and will always show in the report even if it was empty and not added, this should change and raken should hide empty work logs from the report 3) work logs updates sometimes in a weird way and say you started with 10 work logs every day and if you delete some of the logs to not show in the report empty, raken will eventually update and delete that log from the upcoming days

    Vendor response

    Thanks for all the great feedback, Ammar! We really appreciate it! Please reach out to us at help@rakenapp.com so we can help you with the work log rollover feature. We can turn it off so you can start fresh each day if that¿s preferable. Either way, it would be great to collect further feedback from you. Thank you!

    Updates needed

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    I have pushed to have this as my recording system on all my projects. Over all experience is great, just frustrating when a photo wont load, that's the only way I find out that it requires an update

    Pros

    Ease of use and relay ability to the field is great

    Cons

    No notifications when updates are needed

    Vendor response

    Thanks for your review and feedback, Joe! Updates typically only include improvements and enhancements, older versions can still be used. With that said, we will be sure to notify the Product team about your feedback. Thank you!

    Raken Haves and Have nots

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Raken is good. But far from the best. It is expensive for what little it does. I think for what it offers. Others will soon come along and find it essy to do more for far less

    Pros

    Raken is for all intents and purposes a great software for daily reports. Weather is right there. Days can be pulled up and out when needed

    Cons

    There are many things that other software does, within their daily reporting capabilities that Raken simply doesn't. issue tracking and reporting is much better with other software. And the ability to customize the daily reports on a per job basis is better with other software

    Vendor response

    Thanks for your great feedback! We'd love to schedule time to go over Raken with you. Although we start out as a simple easy to use daily reporting app, there¿s a lot more that our software offers, including subcontractor collaboration, photo management, Time Cards, Summary Reports, Executive Dashboard, budgeting of hours, and more. We want to make sure that you get the most out of our solution so please email us at help@rakenapp.com to schedule a free (as always) training session with one of our team members. Thank you!

    Documenting and professionalism

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Our overall experience with Raken has been great. We have been awarded new projects because the general contractor liked receiving these reports. Also we have been able to demonstrate the work was done when going through a lawsuit.

    Pros

    Provides documentation for back up, shows your company is profesional, encourages accountability

    Cons

    Pictures are sometimes misdated, different profiles add up to the price and it can become expensive.

    Vendor response

    Thank you for your feedback! Please reach out to us at help@rakenapp.com and we will be happy to assist you with this.
