This has definitely saved money and increased efficiency for us.

Easy to use and well laid out and helpful whether your doing a job intake for your team, a bid on a site, or a simple drawing for training or visual aid...it is just so helpful.

Making changes to accommodate all users within our company is very difficult to make happen and often comes with resistance from the engineers.

The customer service I have experienced has been great and the software works great on my tablet with no crashes, so definitely check it out if you're interested.

Drawing feature linked to price makes it easy for a sales rep to estimate on site.

The user interface and functionality is exceptional in depicting an accurate floor plan. The fact that the in field constructed drawing can seamlessly export to CAD is one of the greatest perks.

The ability to draw simple floor plans was great. It was easy to do, and for the most part, had the shapes I needed.

ArcSite handles PDF mobile cad drawings possible in an elegant manner. The tool makes possible creation, editing, redlining of CAD quality drawings and integrates photos in an exceptional manner.

At one point there was a glitch in one of my drawings that caused the walls to move, but after an app update, it fixed the problem.

I like the simplicity of the program. I  love that you can add photos and place measurements on the photos or pdf drawings.

Overall, the company has been nothing but helpful and the experience has been positive. We love the value it adds by having it installed on our iPads.

Primarily, I use it to map monuments in need of restoration or cleaning, as well as for landscaping issues and concerns. It is easy to upload the maps I need as base templates.

What I like most about this software is how easy and user friendly it is. ArcSite has greatly helped my confidence learning more structural work.

However, paying this much, every month, to simply draw a floor plan is ridiculous.

The ease of doing this on my iPad with my pencil is a pleasure. I can not fault this app.

The ability to change dimensions and have the software automatically adjust other walls at the same time was great. The software was intuitive and easy to use.

Also, occasional crash issue when using custom symbols created in the app.

I enjoyed using the software, and I would love to continue using it. However, the costs were a hurdle that made it hard to justify compared to other sketching software.

I have really enjoyed using the software. I have completely replaced my hand drawings and notes with Arcsite and it had been great.

They do not care that I am a small business, and treat me like I am a very large company. My team is so much happier and work is more efficient with this app, and they have the best customer service.

The issue that bothered me the most is its mandatory bidding features. We have no need for them.

It was too expensive and i couldn't get my employer to pay the subscription.

The limited options for the tech accounts provide me with extra work editing their times.

This software is very user friendly and fairly easy to navigate. It is a great improvement from our previous work order and inventory system.

Mobile apps and the ability to track labor and costs. Not to mention spare parts and inventory.

The connector tools seems to be broken. I have had several issue with this.

With unlimited users I am able to expand to more than just my maintenance responsibilities. The ease of use and price make this the best CMMS on the market in my opinion.

This software is very easy to use in comparison to others on the market. I like the fact that their is a lot of possibilities to customize the data.

There are areas I do not use due to other software packages that are in our organization. Customer support has been very good.

Ability to put in meter readings is terribly painful. You cant add parts while in a workorder.

The ease of user integration for work order managment.

Which doesn't sound like much but every thing you click will have load times. The app is terrible and unusable.

I am very pleased with their current level of customer service.

Training was excellent and the instructor was able to answer all our questions quickly.

Overall Asset Essentials has been an incredible tool to show accountability for work orders on multiple levels from the techs, to requesters, to locations and even assets that are problematic.

Couple this program with InventoryEdge, a separate module, but well integrated functional step up into a more sophisticated asset maintenance program.

Asset Essentials has a very easy to use platform and mobile app. It allows my technicians to stay on the move across our 5 facilities.

Overall, the transition team was prepared and extremely helpful.

I am very pleased with the software and it's capabilities. It would be nice to maybe have some videos on how to customize the screens.
