Pros:
MEX is an excellent tool displaying maintenance programs and PMs work completed to our external auditors.
Cons:
PM categories ie fixed, triggered hierarchy etc. I would rather one only to select as it is confusing.

Pros:
Pleasant User Interface, able to set-up and implement with some ERP experience and minimal IT skills, Mobile application (can use on Phone/Tablet as well as Desktop). Possibility of catching costs (labour/materials/contractors) and can hopefully implement Stores/Purchasing module in the future.
Cons:
Reports don't have "Sort" function in filters (to re-arrange output), could be better if it had options for prompts and/or pop-up msg as well as colour-coding for different status etc.

Reasons for switching to MEX Maintenance

As I understand it, MEX was recommended by MDFM in order to comply with regulatory (reporting) requirements of the Retirement Villages Act. NB: While I personally prefer MEX, I note that similar data could've been available in the previous system and we just weren't using it to its potential.

Thanks for your review! We're glad to hear MEX is a step in the right direction for your needs. If you need any assistance or further guidance, feel free to reach out to our support team at support@mex.com.au or call 07 3392 4777

Good to record things in the one place such as Assets, parts etc. Have struggled with all the differences in Preventative Maintenance and getting the outcome I want. Have sought help from support and been told our version is too old and support will update it within 2 weeks. # weeks has passed and we have not heard from anyone and my preventative maintenance is not issuing new worksheets or work orders

Pros:
Easy to use, quite intuitive, has most of the functions we need. Cloud based.
Cons:
Planning and Scheduling functionality could be enhanced, cannot customize the reports, when asked if we could the answer was no as the std reports have to be the same for everyone. As mentioned auto generation of PM's can be looked at would save peoples time and effort going through activator once the PMs have been sanctioned.

Reasons for switching to MEX Maintenance

The business got smaller so didn't need such a powerful tool as Maximo.

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're pleased that MEX meets your needs. Your feedback on areas for enhancement is valuable and we have passed it on to the relevant team.

Pros:
It is very structured, enabling you to set up your assets in as much or as little detail as you want. Whilst a bit time consuming to set asset details and work flows up initially, once everything was inputted, the system is easy to use for all levels.
Cons:
It needs a high level of coordination with a dedicated IT department to set up, in my opinion, before you can even get started on uploading information on assets.

Pros:
MEX enables to building a broad and robust Asset Register for all sites. It makes high number of routine maintenance jobs handle with ease, enables to send Work Orders that have customizable and editable fields. It builds data into various reports assisting with compliance, organizational requirements. Preventative maintenance scheduler details the schedule for a year. Contractor portal easily navigate WOs, helps to track WOs for contractors. Having MEX user guide and help videos are super helpful to navigate or trouble shooting.
Cons:
1. MEX is not compatible with new outlook so unable to send WOs through new outlook. All MEX users employees have to revert back to old outlook version. 2. In MEX Ops, the Add request page does not have exit icon on the top left or right corner. The employees have to close the browser as there is no option. 3. In Contractor's portal, Contractors cannot see WOs that have been closed off. So, they ask for a report on closed jobs to double check on our end. They do have record of completed jobs but when it's closed off from our side, they can't view it.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the detailed review! We're thrilled MEX has been so helpful for your maintenance needs. If you are still experiencing the issues mentioned above please reach out to our support team by calling 07 3392 4777 or email on support@mex.com

Pros:
I like pretty much everything about Mex. I've been using it since 2014. Today there's no way I could manage the huge volume of work thats involved in executing the preventative and repair work that keeps our assets compliant and in good working condition. We can keep an eye on everything and are able to recognise when we need to replace an asset before current fails entirely. Your support team are awesome.
Cons:
I would like to be better educated about report writing or modifying reports. Its not something I do very often and always need support if I need something changed or modified. One suggestion I do have is when I'm working in the Work Order Listing, which is often, if I close a work order I lose my place because there is no highlighted (in blue) line of where I was last at like it does when you print a work order from the list. I understand that when you close a work order it disappears from the list but it would be helpful if a way could be found to perhaps highlight the work order line preceding the one that was just closed.

Reasons for choosing MEX Maintenance

At the time is was fit for purpose, had the functionality we wanted and the price was good.

Great concept, poor execution

3

MEX is a great idea, but the execution is where it falls flat, plus locking everything behind a paywall is where it falls even flatter. MEX might be okay if our data was set up correctly in the initial implementation, but even just doing basic functions is a tedious process, let alone fixing 15+ years of botched and inconsistent data. It makes no sense to me why, in 2024, a system does not have a drag and drop customization interface or the ability to go into settings and click check boxes to determine access for security groups rather than having to individually locate each module, field and back door to give/remove access, or even the ability to use "quick edits" in ANY listing, or any field (including customs).

Pros:
The MEX suite means that we don't have to have multiple systems to perform the basic functions our business requires.
Cons:
The UI is about 20 years out of date, the user manual is riddled with mistakes and only provides basic information, the rest is locked behind a paywall. The support staff all have inconsistent training so they are constantly contradicting one another. MEX branding is in consistent, which combined with the user manual errors, makes the MEX team seem unpolished. I have contacted the support team regularly, with varying issues only to be told "oh that's not a bug, because I cant replicate it" or "We've known about that for a while, but there's no ETA on a fix" (Except for [sensitive content hidden], shes a wonderful help). Customizing MEX is a very clunky process, and has been vastly over complicated. Having the option to customize MEX is great on one hand, having to spend hours, or thousands of Dollars to make it happen, not so much. Especially when I have personally seen much better customization abilities with other companies just simplifying it down and making it easier for their users, rather that trying to give them the world at their fingertips and falling 20 years behind. (Look at HubSpots UI for Customisation). The contacts module needs a serious overhaul as it is extremely limited and riddled with bugs. (see HubSpots contacts/companies module)

Thank you for your detailed response. We appreciate your candid feedback. We're committed to improving the MEX experience so we have passed on your comments to our Products Manager and CEO. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns or suggestions.
