Uptime !! Real time maintenance requests. Mobile apps and the ability to track labor and costs. Not to mention spare parts and inventory. Our production folks can't believe the response team from maintenance! Let me know what maintenance people are doing without having to ask. I love being able to assign them work no matter where the are.. I do recommend buying tablets for them... I use $120 tablets. One or two hours of uptime pays for those quickly ! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This software is truly the answer to maintenance and PM programs. Every machining and manufacturing plant in America should use this. If you have 5 or 5000 pieces of equipment, facility, or anything needing maintenance this should be your software. I have had to use ERP maintenance add ons that never allowed real TPM quality support. This software is designed SPECIFICALLY for maintenance. It is easy to use and learn. It pays for itself in the first 3 months. I have implemented this software 3 times. I am not paid by them, but I would recommend them to any company. I have been in Manufacturing for just over 30 years, and this is the best software for this I have seen! IT works ! #### Cons I would like an add on that lets operators enter simple daily PM's and simple checks that can be tailored for each asset. --- ### Would Definitely Recommend - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jay D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Primary/ Secondary Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience is very good, if I have an issue that is dragging on contact my client success manager and they look into it immediately. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like the fact it is extremely customizable; I have built our system from the ground up and so far, anything that anyone has need it to do, I was able to build a workflow to accomplish the task. We use SSO so security is tight. We are a medium size school system and compared to other application we use the value for is on point. We use this system for all work ordered and asset management, we live and die by it, It always works and if I do have an issue support is timely into looking into the issue and finding a resolution. #### Cons The biggest issue we have is it doesn't offer text message notifications for work orders. The notifications with email are ok, but text messages are much easier. #### Reasons for choosing Asset Essentials School Dude was being phased out, and we were not aware at the time. #### Reasons for switching to Asset Essentials We switched because the product we were using did not work. --- ### Asset Essentials for Education use - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Cara B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's been ok. I would like to see better mobile editing options as well as more reporting features. The implementation took a very long time but the support was good. At the time, it was the best option but I'm not sure I'd make the same choice again. It's priced similar to others in the market. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It's very easy to modify. It has been easy to set up 'views' for different areas to use. Setting up crews is also very easy and makes assigning work easy within a department. #### Cons It's no longer designed just for education so we needed to do a lot of adjusting to make it work for our needs. The reporting and analytics needs work. The adding of labor is more cumbersome than it should be. The security of the 'reporting' feature is not able to be locked down to allow nurses to use it for what we need. #### Reasons for choosing Asset Essentials At the time, FMX did not have utility tracking capabilities, we also wanted to have the history from School Dude. At the time, Asset Essentials had the best app. We also looked at Incident IQ which our IT team uses. I'm not sure if that's the same product as Incident Tracker that is listed above. #### Reasons for switching to Asset Essentials School Dude was getting outdated and was not supported as it should be....this was the upgrade of that product. I had to select an option in the box above but School Dude was not available as an option. --- ### Revolutionized our workday - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Aleks R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Government Administration - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
