Asset Essentials Reviews

“Facilities Manager

Pros

I haven't fully explored all of AE's features yet, but it already surpasses our previou

Cons

Occasionally, we're required to input the same information repeatedly, which tends to frustrate the staff.

“Asset Essentials

Pros

It's easy to use and has the capability to fulfill all our requirements.

Cons

The pricing is slightly higher compared to other options available.

“OVERVIEW OF ASSETS

Pros

I really like how the work orders provide all the essential fields for completion, making it convenient for me.

Cons

I appreciate how the charts are presented and how work orders are categorized based on the department you belong to.

“Grounds Report

Pros

I enjoy being able to track our work and how easily the crews can monitor themselves and their workloads.

Cons

The main issue I face is the inability to input tasks directly related to my group. Originally, we weren't designed to function individually. Since the Grounds Department has expanded, we need to specify our work more accurately. This would enable us to effectively track different job types. I strongly desire to customize the program for precise measurements.

“User friendly

Pros

The system offers extensive customization options, and I particularly enjoy working with the implementation team. They are tremendously helpful in setting everything up. I'm excited for future utilization of the program when our facility opens.

Cons

It would be great if there was enough storage space to include video trainings within the system.

“New User friendly

Pros

As a newcomer to this program, I found it incredibly intuitive and easy to comprehend.

Cons

Adding a few more links in the help section would be a welcome addition.

“Asset Essentials Review

Pros

It works effectively to keep track of items being maintained within our system.

Cons

The main page seems to contain excessive information that may not be necessary.

“Easy to manage but reports are hard

Pros

I really appreciate how the modular setup breaks tasks into chunks, making it far easier to manage every aspect.

Cons

it doesn't generate automatic status reports for parts, so I end up having to inspect and verify everything manually every time.

“excellent features but hard to use

Pros

It is absolutely loaded with features across the board. I can manage and track work orders, use QR code scans to pull up asset details, receive preventive maintenance alerts, keep an eye on costs and analyze data to drive ongoing improvements. There's a massive set of features that really helps us stay organized, productive and efficient.

Cons

While it does a lot, getting comfortable with every feature requires patience because there's a lot of options. They do provide online guides and webinars but I still find it can feel overwhelming when I'm not sure which area to begin with. The tutorial emails are useful yet there's a lot left to learn independently.

“Comprehensive Features with Great Customization

Pros

I rely on it to keep our trade dispatching running smoothly thanks to its dependable workflow features that consistently handle issues.

Cons

Every now and then it lags and I find that you need a global admin to make any deep customizations.

“Flexible tool with rare hiccups

Pros

We love how user-friendly the interface is & it lets us tweak and personalize everything exactly the way we want. In fact, we've rolled it out to teams we never originally planned to include because it's so adaptable to different processes and workflows.

Cons

Occasionally I notice transfers run a bit slowly, it doesn't happen frequently but when it does, it tacks on extra minutes to finishing a job and interrupts the flow of work.

“Good trackers but better reports needed

Pros

I like being able to connect different processes and keep an eye on them through data tracking for both time and cost metrics is something I really value.

Cons

I'd love for the reporting features to be more powerful, I also want a way to batch-send work orders and see everything laid out in a table view for clearer organization.

“One place for everything!

Pros

everything is consolidated into one central location & it really aligns how I organize and oversee all our assets, making management far easier.

Cons

So far, I haven't come across any significant problems because I'm still in the early stages of using it.

“simple to schedule & track work

Pros

the interface is very interactive and it makes handling PM schedules completely easy, plus the work order management tools are dependable as well.

Cons

I do not have any major complaints but I am looking forward to the maps and floorplan features they're planning to roll out.

“Much better than the old system

Pros

The routing feature performs far better than what I dealt with on SchoolDude and PM and I am genuinely grateful for that upgrade.

Cons

NO problems so far because we're still working through the update process and haven't finished rolling everything out yet.

“awsome dealership management solution

Pros

Its very easy to submit work orders, and the core asset feature works wonderfully.

Cons

no obvious shortcomings exist in this platform's core features

“easy talk but clunky screens

I feel the communication flow between operators and management operates very smoothly overall.

Cons

interface makes it really frustrating to select different windows or to properly fill out the various sections.

“new user of brightly

Pros

The initial introduction is captivating and enjoyable to work with.

The program appears to have the potential to offer more, such as breaking down reports into finer details and improving its user-friendliness.

“Asset Essentials

Pros

I adore its user-friendliness. It's extremely intuitive, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to review the history of submitted requests unless I submit a new one. There might be a way to do this, but I haven't discovered it yet.

“Customer service

Pros

One of the best aspects of this service is the exceptional customer support. Not only does the software offer a variety of useful features, but the customer service is also outstanding. When you call the help line, you're greeted with a warm demeanor. The support technicians can resolve 99% of issues, and if they can't, they promptly connect you with the appropriate person while providing regular updates on the progress. I never hesitate to reach out to the help line for any concerns.

Cons

Honestly, I haven't come across any drawbacks when it comes to this software.
