My experiencie with AkitaBox has been overwhelmingly good. This software has allowed my team and I to better monitor the status of our assets and streamline our facility management procedures. For our first implementation, we noticed a huge increase in efficiency. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros In my position, where I am responsible for overseeing a wide variety of buildings and assets, I have found AkitaBox to be an invaluable tool. What I like most is the software's compatibility with AutoDesk® Revit, as I can quickly and easily import data about the assets in my structures and examine them in 3D. #### Cons I would like to see in a more accurate way the floor conditions of the different rooms, to have an accurate view of the space usage and other parameters, this is something that needs to be improved according to my analytical perspective. #### Reasons for choosing AkitaBox My research led me to believe that AkitaBox was the best option for our company out of all the facility management programs available. AkitaBox was the only tool I found that could handle all of my needs, including work order management, asset tracking, inspection management, preventative maintenance, and facility condition assessments. Considering how frequently I use AutoDesk® Revit in my line of work, the fact that it is compatible with Revit was also a significant selling point for me. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Shirley!

No incentive was offered We had a client ask for a specific set of criteria than included asset tracking, Uniformat series and an online collaborative tool that multiple facility managers can access. This platform provided all of those features! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It was easy for our team to set up and access the platform and start uploading our information. Our client is happy with the results so far as we help them improve their facilities. We also have a tremendous support team from Akita on board too! #### Cons Its depends on the users, but for some the learning curve might be a bit high and they need to train to adjust to the software. For others, its fairly straightforward approach. #### Reasons for choosing AkitaBox Overall it was simpler to use and exactly what the client was looking for. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Ryan! Replied July 2025 --- ### Last Dinosaur - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Tom T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Was asked by superiors to 'sign up.' Had no idea what I was signing up to or for. Being semi-retired and working part time, some workings of the organization fly by like a bat in the night. Can't wait to find out what I just gave a portion of my remaining earthly life towards! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Finally got in and did my job as an employee. #### Cons How long it took to get in. The multiple moves to gain access was a fail for some reason. #### Vendor response Hi Tom! Thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry your AkitaBox introduction wasn't as smooth as we'd like it to be.

The AkitaBox Team Replied March 2025 --- ### Very Happy Customer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Robert S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My experience with AkitaBox has been amazing, so much so that many other companies, schools, universities and hospitals contact me to see how I like the product and how I utilize it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I really liked the fact that they sent their team into my building to retrieve accurate data off all of my equipment and loaded it onto their platform. Then they provided not just me but my staff with great training to get us spun up to be self sufficient. They then took it a bit further by helping me to get the buy in from our staff that utilize our spaces by providing a quick link for them to notify us of any ongoing issues. Once they were what most companies would say completed they came back around to verify data that they felt was missing information and verified their own work. This is why our School District has been a proud supporter of AkitaBox because they have been a great supporter of us and a great partner as well. Any thing that we recommended and suggested they ran it up the flag pole to see if they could provide it for us. I always recommend this team when asked. I have investigated many other products and always stay with AkitaBox. #### Cons I wish that we could upload our maintenance inspection checklist into AkitaBox and have a place holder that we can click on to indicate that what ever the inspection was it was completed once checked off. It already knows who has opened the work order and could just place that persons initials in the block once they click on it. It could go as far as placing a date and time on it for managers to see, that way if something goes wrong they can look back and possibly see that the person doing the work might not have done it within the appropriate / allotted time frame to do that work, Another aspect that I find missing is that there is no place in order to annotate Amperage draws and such information and be able to quickly on the same page see what the previous three reading were. This would provide the technician the insight that a possible bearing / motor failure is occurring due to higher amp draws. This would be very helpful for the technicians in the field to see this data while completing their own readings. #### Reasons for choosing AkitaBox Have not made my decision as of yet all depends on if AkitaBox will listen and act on the things that I have been asking for, for over 8 years. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Robert!

No incentive was offered Very good. Wonderful customer service. No down time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros For the most part this is a very user friendly platform. The mapping function for asset placement is one of the best that I have seen. #### Cons 1. I am unable to drop a pin in a location for a service request or work order. 2. There is not a way to move assets to a different building with out deleting and recreating the asset. #### Reasons for switching to AkitaBox I was not on the team that made the choice to switch. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Gage! Thank you for your feedback as well. Please be sure to connect with your customer success manager with your comments.

Replied December 2024 --- ### Akita app and my experience - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sylvester B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Learning what the application can do was exciting, I enjoyed the pictures of assets, and the maps of our buildings is very helpful when giving out information to our techs to give direct locations. Very useful for me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I enjoy how we can look up assets by asset number or you can type in the location. For most assets you can see a picture of what you're looking for. #### Cons I'm not sure if there are videos available to watch to help the user experience, and possibly a tutorial on where to find helpful pages. If I could've had a more precise user interface finding assets could've been a little more efficient for me. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Sylvester! You can find "How-to" pages and videos in our Learning Center, which is accessible under your person icon in the top right of AkitaBox. For finding assets more efficiently, PlanView allows you to search by typing in both PlanView and ListView. You can also scan QR codes to launch an asset's page directly. If you can't find something, please submit a question to our support desk - they can help or connect you with your assigned Customer Success Manager for additional training.

It is easy to learn overall and has good features within the system. #### Cons The app is not as useful and is harder to use than the desktop version and doesn't not interact well with Apple products. Also wish there was a way to track projects within the program. Also, the back end side of Akitabox could use a bit of updating. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review on Capterra, Heidi.

Replied November 2024 --- ### AkitaBox is the solution to many facility problems - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tim D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros When we first initiated AkitaBox into our schools online portal I was a little concerned with how well it would be received. Change is always difficult. I could not have been happier with the way it was received and used from the very first day. The thing I love the most about AkitaBox is the way it organizes and tracks nearly everything we do. We no longer have multiple spreadsheets in different locations. Everything we need and use is in one spot and data is available from IT to landscape. #### Cons This is probably more of a pro for this product than a con but when you find that AkitaBox is improving so many different aspects of your organization the temptation is to attempt to use it for things it wasn't designed to do. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Tim! Replied August 2023 --- ### Convenient and practical. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brandon S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

It is a system that grows with us. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the convenience of the asset tracking. It’s also a great system for the organization of maintenance communication. #### Cons Fairly minor, but I wish I could customize some of the labels in the drop downs. For maintenance, I usually click custodial, because it is the best option of the available. #### Vendor response Hi Brandon, Thanks for your review. Good news! Those dropdown labels are customizable. Talk to your administrator about customizations. If they are unsure, your AkitaBox Customer Success Manager is ready to assist.

Replied January 2024 --- ### AkitaBox - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Steve W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. It is a great reference tool and asset management tool. Granted, I still haven't implemented all that i want in there and keeping up with district changes and updating pictures is tough, mostly because of my time constraints. The tools are there. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros For what I use it for and what I have plan for it in the future, the square footage is paramount to scheduling my operational staff. Asset management is also very important, to be able to pull up at any given time what year our carpet, hvac, classrooms, restrooms, gym, cafeteria appliances are is invaluable when planning and forecasting future purchases and budgets. #### Cons I would like the maps and the printing of the maps to be better. Clearer and also be able to zoom in and the icons have separate zoom function to not overpower the maps when zooming out. Labeling maps to our specific needs would also be beneficial. Fitting a map that fills the page to print would be nice. #### Reasons for choosing AkitaBox When looking at all three, AkitaBox looked more intuitive and to honest, the rep I was working for did a great job selling us on AkitaBox. #### Vendor response Thank you for your feedback and details about your experience so far. Your input helps us make the software better for all users. We are currently working on the printing of floor plans now. Look for the implemented improvements soon! Replied February 2022 --- ### Great software to have - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kain S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The thing I like most about Akitabox is its ability to tie everything together. Work orders, assets, maps, & comments. It's a one stop software that makes work efficient. #### Cons The thing I least liked about the software is the amount of work that goes into getting all your information into the system. Akitabox does a great job of doing the initial upload of assets but there's a ton of additional information (warranties, owners manuals, etc.) that can be uploaded that takes time. Once you have everything in the system it's a huge time saver that will pay dividends in the future. #### Vendor response Kain, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with AkitaBox! We love hearing how the software is helping you be more efficient. We certainly understand that the depth of data, files, and information you can add after our initial data collection and implementation can be overwhelming. We are glad you see the benefit though!
