AMS software for Seneca
We went from a home built system to AMS.
PROSIt is fairly easy to use. Very robust, no issues that have stopped us from releasing aircraft. Like that it isn't in the cloud so if internet down we can still have access.
CONSMake it easier to customize. Could look more modern Mobile access through an app or even just on my phone at work. Need a dispatch module.
Reason for choosing Aircraft Maintenance Systems
Price and the sales team at the time were much more helpful than your competitors. They made me feel that much more comfortable.
Reasons for switching to Aircraft Maintenance Systems
I wanted something that did the log entries and tracked inspections and components easier

Simple Aircraft Maintenance and Scheduling Software
We have been using AMM since 2012 and have seen it improve over time. It would be great if AMS would develop a simplified quarantine / inventory module that would allow users to better track hours and cycles when a component or assembly is not installed.
PROSThe AMM software is simple to use and has a fair selection of available reporting functionality. It also has enough versatility that it can be used to comply with varied company processes and procedures. Finally the software can be used as an on-site or remote installation solution.
CONSThe Inventory Manager module does not offer the functionality we need. Specifically the inventory transfer from base to base. We also have had several releases that break existing functionality on the AMM module.

Price and the ability to segregate and keep our own data
Reasons for switching to Aircraft Maintenance Systems
We were unable to segregate our data and the only export of that data was in pdf form. This kept us from using our own data for customized reporting. With AMS software we can export our data in document or spreadsheet form which we can customize for our reporting needs.

My review
Easy to use. Ties maintenance and inventory very nicely together. Product support is very good, with the availability of online assistance.
CONSThere needs to be a status bar or wheel when making selections. Currently you make a selection and then you wait but new users are confused whether their selection was enabled....no status wheel or bar to identify that the selection was made and now the program is "thinking". Just a blank screen.
Reason for choosing Aircraft Maintenance Systems
Not sure as I was not involved in the selection.
Reasons for switching to Aircraft Maintenance Systems

N. Carbery review
Frustrating.
PROSAt its base level the software makes it possible to create an E-Log book and add entries saving time and effort when it is functioning properly.
CONSVery slow to go into and out of individual planes to make entries. Component, task, and AD tracking is almost entirely done manually. Little to no customization. Constant freezing, crashing, and downed servers. Little to no support. Countless minor bugs (lists starting at #2, defect sync adding defects in an inverted order, etc.) When the system crashes it locks the user in the aircraft they were using requiring us to wait for the system to reboot to continue working rather then allowing another user to continue working at another computer while the first one resets. Inventory manager requiring very specific searches while looking through inventory items as opposed to generic searches like those used by google, yahoo, or many other commonly used search engines. Only allowing one user to access an aircraft at a time.

Great Software for Large or Small Companies
Use it daily to track aircraft components on our fleet as well as for our inventory of parts. Customer service for both sides has been satisfactory and AMS has always helped us solve issues when we have them.
PROSAMS has the capacity to retain a seemingly endless amount of detail and hours down to the smallest components. It can easily be customized for each user to allow or deny the appropriate permissions, and be integrated with the flight and inventory modules to maintain accurate maintenance records.
CONSThe interface is quite dated, and hopefully AMS works to make it more user-friendly in the future. "Drag and Drop" would be useful in many cases, or the ability to link components to inspections, or for inspections to be linked to certain components would be beneficial.

AMs Reveiw
It is easy to read reports and was easy to teach all mechanincs how to use it.
CONSWish there was an easier way to set valves for forecast list. ie if aircraft flys 850 hours, 500 cycles, and 700 landings put those numbers in and show what would come due in the next year
Reason for choosing Aircraft Maintenance Systems
best valve for the price

AMS - New look built on old software.
Overall the software is limited and the customer service is poor.
PROSGreat price point. Work report interface is ok.
CONSCustomer service is slow and very hard to communicate with. The software has so many inherent limitations that they are not able to/unwilling to implement any changes that are brought up by customers. Inventory and maintenance tracking are completely separate. Tracking an assembly with sub assemblies is impossible. You must manually adjust each sub part. Reports can not be customized and often do not show you any of what you want. The program runs very slowly even with a newly upgraded company server/computers etc. There is no way to amend work report content and AMS refuses to add that feature. If we enter something in error that error will be fixed on paper but not in the data base.

No changes..... only excuses.....
we used tu have the sofware version 13. .... we the payed to up grade to the latest versions.... since then... nothing but problems....
PROSwas a smll familly company before..... how things have changed.
CONSW & B that has not been updated in the last 12 years.... techs constantly saying that problems will be resolved at next up date...... never the case.... feel like ams is concentrating more on "big" companies and less and less taking care of small companies....

it's the system that I worked with in the past.... reason for purchasing this system... was sold as an "liscense for life"...... that is not the case.... really not...

Good but still need improvement.
It's good but competitors seem to have incorporated what's missing.
PROSInventory and especially Document Manager and it's connection from parts receiving all the way to component manager. No longer need paper component cards.
CONSUser manual inadequate. Document print in EU format A4 still extremely bad despite complaints. (after 10 years use....). Installation and updates need to be performed by AMS support staff, not just download and install like most modern programs.
