Solid System
I enjoy using Asset Essentials. Have not had a bad experience with the program or Customer Support since we became users.
PROSSetup was easy with a little leg work, especially adding assets and equipment, BUT putting that work in on the front end saves you a lot of time in the field, ie. if you need a pump serial and model numbers, you could just grab it from AE. I like how you can customize reporting. I also like that you can update work orders with parts on order info or scheduling info, and the submitter gets an email of the update. Great feature.
CONSAsked all of my staff, and no one had any response for this question.
Reason for choosing Asset Essentials
Mainly because they were exhibiting at an AZA Conference I attended and performed a nice demonstration of the product.
Reasons for switching to Asset Essentials
Reporting from this system was clunky, also no work order real-time updates to the submitter.

Well worth the time & money investment
Our overall experience with Asset Essentials has been wonderful. The team at Brightly has always been helpful when I've called with a question, or needed help with a feature. They've never left us hanging!
PROSAsset Essentials has revolutionized how we track maintenance in our facility. It has made record keeping and KPI tracking in our facility so much easier.
CONSThe mobile app has been a consistent pain point with Asset Essentials since we implemented in 2020. Our users have had zero issues or complaints about the website, but we have had constant reports of the mobile app not working. I wish there was a proper mobile website for Asset Essentials for us to send our team to when the app isn't working
Reason for choosing Asset Essentials
We did a trial of Fiix, and found that it was difficult to apply it to our needs. I had experience with Facility Dude in the past, so when we found Asset Essentials it was a much easier transition

Definetantly not for manufacturing, load time galore
Overall i think this is a very beginner software with a ton of bugs and nonfunctional that they need to work out. Progress with bugs and these functionality problems take way too long if ever to be completed. Honestly wish we spent our money elsewhere.
PROSsetting up Pm's was a nice change from using Outlook calendar Work request made it easier for staff to tell me about broken equipment it does eliminate paper
CONSvery tough to start to use it because the lingo and they way they have it sorted doesn't really apply to manufacturing. to customize alot of thing you need them to do it because we don't have access. plus everything takes 5 at least 5 seconds to load. which doesn't sound like much but every thing you click will have load times. The app is terrible and unusable. load times, restriction in functionality. bugs. Ability to put in meter readings is terribly painful You cant add parts while in a workorder. its a separate page you have to go to. and you can't complete tasks while on a computer.
Reason for choosing Asset Essentials
I chose this one because it had an app and it looked very useful and they said it would be easy to do a walk around checklist with meter readings. It also was on the cheaper side which made it easier to pass on to upper management to buy in.

Why I like Asset Essentials
Overall experience is very well. I haven't really had any bad experience with the product. I still need more training on Asset Essentials. Ver
PROSThe ease of going to my projects finding the project number and getting and giving updates on each project in case someone else needs to know about my project.
CONSIt categorizes my projects and lets me know when it became a project and when the project ended.
Reasons for switching to Asset Essentials
Changed Jobs and this company uses Asset Essentials. Compared to CITME/Ultra Main, Asset Essentials is more user friendly and understandable. I was able to pick up quickly when another employee trained me. It only took a few minutes for me to understand Asset Essentials for what I needed to use it for.
