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.

Easy to use and has enabled us to better control our assets with a minimum of time and effort.

It is and app / software that help us keep track of where tools are at.

The app is easy to use, we like the ability to use mobile on phone or via computer in the office.

This is a program that was not thought through fully, and if you speak to the right people within Hilti, they will even admit that it was not ready to be released when it was.

The AI S scanner we bought with the system, is not very user friendly. The battery dies, to fast and sometime does not work at all.

The ability to know exactly what we have and where it is, is very beneficial. Also the responsibility of each person being allocated an item helps with the long term productivity.

Easy to navigate and add assets and transfers for employees etc. It takes all of the guess work out of what we have and where it is at.

The fact that it can be using on a computer, tablet, iPhone or android is excellent. The ability to track the service records for equipment is very helpful.

Also, tracking tools make workers more honest about where the company issued tools are at.

Cannot add columns in transfers once go to transfer items, no description there, only alternate code so gets confusing what and how many when multiple items in list.

I like that I can hold people responsible for tools and equipment , how much each person has on site vs how much I have in stock.

Asset management is wonderful , we have not fully implemented for inventory.

A little trouble initially to get all phones working properly.

Ability to track our tools and equipment with much more ease. Ability to upload and track costs, repairs and expenses.

I have the ability to print labels for what is needed.

System is easy to use and customer service is always helpful when there are questions.

Very easy to use and the setup team was great.

The customer support is amazing. The phone literally rings one time and you have a real person.

Great system, user friendly, implementation of the system is seamless.

The OnTrack system allows my company to keep better tabs on the location of our equipment, saving money on rentals and time locating our assets.

I have a good inventory that can be changed by individual users. Also, the idea that a tool must be sent and received in order to move it between employees adds to the reliability of the data.

For it to function well, everyone has to use it that is on the system. The software works best when all the information is put into they system.
