Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Customer service is the best we have ever experienced, immediate response time and a willingness to assist our subcontractors when needed. Building bidders lists and communicating with subcontractors is user friendly, straight forward and fully custom. Sharing documents with outside team members comes in a variety of options, all easy and clear. Pantera continues to grow, building tools that benefit, in particular, the historical data that can be used when building future projects/bidders lists.
  • It's possible to send out ITB's very quickly with minimal set-up. There is a great deal of flexibility in how to create and manage the ITB process. There are several tools to manage the the private contact database. The Pantera team is always quick to assist, and there are many ways the service is customized for our needs. Custom reports are available.
  • Ease of use and support.

Cons

  • Maintaining a clean database can be problematic at times. Multiple entries for the same company often register/show as separate records, making it hard for team members to identify who to reach out to. Would also be helpful if we could limit users security permissions to a higher level between "user" and "administrator".
  • Access to public HUB/minority vendor databases could be better/stronger. Regarding the mobile app, there are some functions that can not be accomplished with the app.
  • Not sure.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Sales guy promised the moon unfortunately we can't deliver on what you were told even though you paid us almost 6000 dollars
  • Super easy to use, very awesome tool and record of project information. I tell my staff our minds can only hold so much information, note anything of importance in your daily report. Some long term projects incur the Groundhog Day effect, Raken is a great tool to detail all aspects of construction, labor force, equipment and much more.
  • I have used Raken at more than one company. It was so good at the first company I tried it, that when I changed companies, I took it with me. I even paid for it out of pocket to show my new bosses how great it was. They switched after receiving my first daily report. We are now working on connecting it with another one of our online products we use daily as well. Excellent people who do the follow up to make sure you're happy.
  • Ease of use from the Management side as well as the Field daily inputting side. Trackability from anywhere you have connectivity. Ability to see overruns and forecast accordingly. The reports that can be generated are highly professional.
  • Ease of use, ease of setup, speed, talk to text, customer service, photo storage, time card functionality.

Cons

  • DIDN'T deliver purchased in march still haven't been able to process a payroll due to not doing what we were told it would! slow responses, we will get back to you sorry we cannot help but we will keep your money
  • Employee's logging out forgetting their login passwords. I have had maybe 3 minor tech issues, 2 logins and one editing issue. All three issues were worked on within minutes of contacting Raken and resolved shortly after.
  • Not sure I can complain about anything. Maybe the cost could be changed to an annual charge with unlimited users within our company.
  • The struggles we had to get the payroll aspect of the system to recognize and tabulate days of subsistence to pay out to the employee(s) each day/week. The work around we are using seems to be working well for us now.
  • We would like a little more features for the timecard module. We reached out to Raken and this is actually in the works!
