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.

Use this program every day at work, frustrating every day.

Most issues I have had Ashcom has fixed. Other problems have been how we use it not the software.

Easy to use and a very helpful service support.

My experience with inventory has shown that any problems are usually with the user not with the software. Be consistent and through with how you enter information, this will pay off in the long run.

I love the ease of use, but there are a lot of functions that I would like to have. Attachments on the tools screen.

The receivers are for some odd size paper and are laid out in a way that wastes a lot of paper. Each time we print one we have to take extra steps so it will print in a usable/readable manner.

We absolutely love the software and customer support. The software has amazing features that really make doing my job easy.

I have had trouble with the software functioning properly from the start.

Is a great tool to manage your inventory once you get your training it will be more easy use.

Hands down purchasing Maintimizer has been one of the best decisions we have made in software over the last 10 years. The ASHCOM support staff  are great to work with.

Purchase orders are also laid out poorly and waste paper, why print one page when you can print three, right. Does Ashcom own stock in a paper company.

Our experience with the software has been fantastic, a lot of that was because of the training we received and the support we got from MaintiMizer during the start up and in the first month of use.

It can give you a lot of information and do many things. You do get a lot here and the reports generated have gotten much better.

Since we stopped doing work orders except for PMs. There are some things that it's won't do but maybe on the next version or update they may be included but nothing major.

We had the trainer come on site for several days and he worked with all of the users to get them comfortable with the software. This resulted in acceptance by everyone.

This software does what most people require from a CMMS system at a reasonable price. Service and communication from Ashcom are excellent.

It is so complex that someone evaluating it would have trouble unless there was someone who was familiar with it already.

Overall experience is good, worth the money paid for it.

It's nice you can put your equipment in and set up a schedule to automatically generate PM paperwork. I like that you can save SOPs to use for similar equipment.

Very usable for our needs at an affordable price. I like that we can use just the PM portion without having to populate the rest of the system.

New queries are difficult to handle but they can be defined by the user.

It's very easy to track how much time/money is spent on an asset to complete cost benefit analysis and figure out what we should fix and what we should replace.

Many useful features but $$ for training will be necessary.

If a person leaves the organization you are stuck with their records permanently. The same thing applies to machinery.

No con about this management and maintenance software.

Ability to maintain a history, run reports, create inventory parts lists and locations, create a good Preventive Maintenance program.

Having to click through 8 different pages to navigate a PM or a WO doesn't really make much sense as there are a lot of systems where this is contained on one page. Very difficult to navigate through.

It can be difficult to find some of the fields when you need to add something. There are issues with picking dates from the calendar.

It has been good, very helpful when I call and need help, training has been great.
