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.

There are not many, if any negative thoughts I have for this app.

Great customer service, the app works seamlessly between the computer and the phones.

The overall simplicity of the program is very nice. Everything flows pretty well.

It is easy to use and has great scalability. I am able to use it with a team that isn't the best with technology.

My team enjoys how easy it is to use this app and it is very helpful to my vendors, clients and contractors.

It save me time, so it saves me money. The price is great for the number of contracted labor's.

The ease of searching for work orders is a HUGE plus. The ease for the team to use in the field on multiple devices is a great plus as well.

This is a wonderful and useful program for any corporation and I would highly recommend it.

I most liked the ease of use, the user friendly UI, the cost,  and the customer service.

MaintainX has been extremely helpful for overall asset management, document storage, budget justifications, proof of  regulatory compliance.

It's reliable, fast and evolving. Its customer service is superb.

Interface is user friendly support and service is always there. Sends emails when parts reach below a minimum quantity.

Sometimes when i start a problem report the page flips before I finish it.

Its very friendly to first users, really nice to maintain a great communication with other employees and the progress of the work.

I like how easy it is to use on my phone or laptop. My employee is being more responsive in letting me know when orders are complete.

The assets list is awesome. It integrates into the other categories easily for function.

Very easy to operate after training. Logging pricing and creating part numbers for future orders has been a great advantage.

Down time tracking has improved greatly, and actually eliminated some of the problems we thought we were having, overall very pleased and cant ask for a better software, definitely  for the money.

I love the integration of procedures into workorders.

Overall I am hyper pleased with the software's performance, reliability, cost, and ease of use.

I am thankful for all the progress great staff has made using it to manage maintenance.

They have been extremely helpful in customizing a program that works for my company. It has saved an enormous amount of time.

Notifications And annoying popping up every 2 seconds.

Firstly the lack of user access control customisation.

It's always nice to make a decision after testing 15 solutions (felt like 1000) and feel confident that you've made the correct decision. I feel that way right now and wanted to share.

The software is super friendly and easy to use. A real tool that you can use to manage the jobs in the shop.

It has it all from procedures to parts, Very user friendly, training takes 5 minutes. Integration to my business was seamless.
