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.

Most of the competition now only offers web browser based systems that are often clunky and slower to load, plus many require costly subscriptions with cloud-only licensing schemes.

Can be difficult to navigate if not familiar with all areas.

No way to do a custom report to get limited information instead of a large, long report.

The overall use is Friendly to use and very helpful.

It is easy for employees to request work orders through the web portal. Support has been quick to respond and done there best to help with out software issues.

Pros: Ability to link parts and services with assets. Ease of finding history with parts and assets.

This is an excellent program with outstanding technical support and training by Manager Plus.

There is no way to try a demo, they just show it to you during a Turbo Meeting. There are no downtime reports.

Easy to use, easy to understand, visually nice and clean.

The sole purpose that Manager Plus was selected was due to its supposed ability to integrate with Sage 300.

Overall experience has been great. The software has allowed us to track costs and services that we have never had ability to before.

Manager Plus is an outstanding maintenance program which is easy to use. It includes all the necessary requirements for a successful preventative maintenance program.

Great service, great training, great overall software concept but there are some quirks.

It is very confusing trying to keep up with all the PM's because the reset date was always set off the completion date.

Since purchasing the software, no one from the Sage Integration Team responds to anything. We are paying for a product that doesn't do as  claimed.

Dealing with those who represent ManagerPlus has been difficult at times. The lack of response and a sense of urgency are lacking.

Poor knowledge of the industry and product on the implementation side of the company, and complete disconnect on the sales side of the company after they received their funds.

The customer support is terrible. They are slow and do not communicate well.

Great program and the customer support is wonderful.

Difficult to correct any set up mistakes after program has been populated.

Make it more user friendly and faster , that's it I have no more do not feel like writing a book what I like about it is here short and sweet.

Training was very through and really knows the product. Version Upgrades can be a pain.

We are just getting started and we are delighted with the ease of use.

I download to Excel and generate from there. It's disappointing that we pay for it and really are not able to utilize it.

My only complaint is I didn't find this product years ago for all the building and projects I have managed.

I like the view to see all the assets in one screen. I like the various dimensions that can be selected.
