## Reviews

### "Great Tool for Streamlining Field Operations and Project Tracking" — 5.0/5

> **Nikki** | *9 August 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The biggest benefit is how easy RAKEN makes it to track employees, job progress, time, and project information in one place. The reporting and tracking features are especially helpful because they give you better visibility into what is happening on each project. It also saves time compared with handling everything manually and helps keep everyone accountable.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest downside is that there can be a learning curve when first getting started, especially for team members who are not as comfortable with new technology. Some features could also be a little more customizable and streamlined. However, once the team gets familiar with the platform, it becomes much easier to use and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
> 
> Overall, my experience with RAKEN has been very positive. It has helped streamline our field operations, improve time and project tracking, and keep our teams more organized. The platform gives us better visibility into what is happening on our jobs and makes it easier to manage information between the field and office. There is a learning curve when getting started, but overall RAKEN has been a valuable tool that saves time and improves accountability.

### "RAKEN-you shouldn’t be in business without it" — 5.0/5

> **Saul** | *30 July 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Did the designers creators behind it kept it for a lack of better words, looking rudimentary, like however, the functionality and what it produces is far from rudimentary very easy to maneuver.
> 
> **Cons**: I can’t really say there’s anything I dislike about raking. With all of the new functions.  Any integration with more programs nothing bad to say.
> 
> My experience, maybe unique and the fact that I use Raken to battle with entities I have contracts with. The way the data is stored. It’s unquestionable when brought forth in arbitration or mediation.

### "Use It Everyday To Make My Life Easier" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 May 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Happy Customer - First Commercial Realty & Development Co., Inc" — 5.0/5

> **Joshua** | *23 July 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Reagan has been a great app for us, but our favorite feature by far is the ease of uploading photos by just selecting them from the gallery.
> 
> **Cons**: i’d like to have a section just to put my contracts with my subcontractors on there and their contact information without the need to add their email. Some projects or job specific and it’s nice to be able to quickly. Just click a button to get information.
> 
> Still new to the app learning quite a bit about it so far very enjoyable i’m reviewing the training videos and trying to learn a bit more about it a bit more complex than Procore but fairly simple

### "Thanks Raken" — 4.0/5

> **David** | *24 July 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Staff has been very helpful.  Support is particularly accessible and prompt to answer.   I liked that they let us take a week for a demo as well.
> 
> **Cons**: Limitations on file size that can be loaded in documents.  Otherwise, I hope the product will continue to evolve.
> 
> We were referred by a client who is also a user.  The sales staff was responsive but not pushy, onboarding team helpful.
