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.

The lack of ad hoc analysis. There is an option, but not down to the detail I look for at times.

Early on, the graphic interface was a bit confusing for some users.

I like the graphic interface which follows my location using my phone's GPS.

M worried the data collected will be used to decide how long tasks should take in my department. Task in my department can and do range all over the place, so aggregates have little to no value.

Although we have been using the nrby app for a short time, I can already see tremendous benefits as it relates to managing my manpower, budget, projects and technicians safety to name a few.

Being cloud based, there is no need for complicated VPNs. The operating costs are very manageable and easy to justify based upon the increase in process efficiencies we have seen.

Ve been very satisfied with Nrby overall Seems to make it easier to see who completed work and track what has been completed.

It is easy to use and understand and the software is always being improved on.

Like being able to track and have instant status of remote equipment. Also like being able track certain parameters over time.

Very easy to follow and and run. Pretty easy to navigate through the app.

We continually find new uses for the platform and making changes are very simple using the web based control panel. The NRBY support team has been very responsive and routinely checks in on us.

It's a great help and a great tool to have that is used to make sure we don't forget something or where there is other work to be completed.

The time to deploy and ease of use were key factors when we made the decision to deploy NRBY.

Very user friendly for our company to implement and use on a daily basis. This program gives us the ability to keep track of all that is going on and anything that needs addressed over a large area.

Pins sometimes disappears. Set a pin at the start of a job, and it disappears when you go back in to close it.

The GUI is simple, easy to use, and well laid out. The development team has been amazing at adding new features upon our request, and are really responsive.

Hands down the Nrby product and support is one of the best tools I have been introduced to at WOW.

I enjoy the versatility of this software. If we have any issues or questions, the company is always on top of it.

Ease of use in changing and defining pins/attributes. Customer support response time to problems.

The phone app that we use is very slow and will close on it's own and the info you were trying to put in a pin will be lost.
