Easy to use software
We need a replace to get us up and running in short order and FastMaint has done that.
Pros
Its easy to use, lots of tool tips. Help content is well written and useful. Has most of the features you need or want. Doesn't take a lot of time to learn the program functions. Import works well with CSV files.
Cons
Search options could be better, like those for custom fields.
Reasons for Choosing FastMaint
Don't like the cloud or monthly cost of other products. Like the windows interface for simplicity and ease of use.
Reasons for Switching to FastMaint
Windows updates caused continuous licensing issues with their product. Poor customer support and software hasn't been updated in years.

Lyle thank you very much for your positive review of FastMaint. Glad to know that you have found FastMaint very useful and easy to use with good Help content. Thanks for your suggestion to also support the search feature on user defined fields (custom fields). Will look at adding this in future.

OK for a few dozen items of inventory, but we have hundreds!
Pros
The program does keep track of past and pending tasks/work orders well. I do like the way past due goes to red.
Cons
The process you have to go through to write up an unscheduled repair could be made easier. You should not have to basically "erase" an existing "any other maintenance" task to create a new one and get a wo number assigned. There is no trigger to automatically send pending wo's to the printer.

Thank you for the feedback. Please note that this review is for a very old version of the software (the current version is 5.4). Some of the concerns have been addressed in newer versions of the product.
