Gründe für den Wechsel zu eMaint CMMS

Vorteile

It is adequate. The fact that we have it is better than not having anything at all.

Nachteile

The system is clunky. It's very technical and setting it up or modifying it has a very high learning curve. Not really user friendly.

Vorteile

I love that you get all of the bells and whistles right out of the box. They don't charge you extra to run reports or to open other features.

Nachteile

I wish it had a mobile app. It has a mobile function but it isn't a true app.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu eMaint CMMS

Vorteile

help desk assistant was very helpoful in explaining process to get the results i needed to understand what was needed (input) t get the program to give me results

Nachteile

non trasfer of histor having to pick a default vendor

Vorteile

This system is very versatile and customizable. It has helped us with better managing our pm schedules. Tech support is amazing.

Nachteile

Trying to set up reports can be difficult. You really need to go through a advanced class or you will be reaching out to tech support a lot. For the last year it has been difficult for us to get new users added to the system.

Vorteile

the ability to customize it as often as we need and the ability to do the majority of it our selves.

Nachteile

The inability to change some of the user settings myself.

Vorteile

I love the customizable reports. They are very easy to set-up so that you can manually or automate them as needed. No external programs needed. There is also more than one way to set them up. Ever wish that after drilling down on data that you could just run that report every week? Just 'Save as a Report' and tell it to send ever Friday. It really is that easy.

Nachteile

Your account rep can log into your account and see issues help you resolve them. The most common way to resolve issues with eMaint is through a chat feature on their website. It can be a lot to type everything out and send screen shots. That being said, the tech support is well trained and they typically resolve issues or train you during the initial contact.

Vorteile

Being able to set the system up the way we wanted from the beginning.

Nachteile

I have never meet anyone from Emaint, I spoke to many over the phone but the one on one has never happen. I feel that my good system I have now would be great if someone was able to watch the way we use the system. Someone that knows the system better then i do would be able to possible find faster and better ways to do things.

Vorteile

Ability to configure the system to need many different needs

Nachteile

Basic report writer lacking. Mobile app need improvement.

Vorteile

Easy to use and configure. Implementation team is awesome in getting us up and running. Support team is always there, always polite, and always takes care of our questions. Even if I do something to mess something up, they patiently help me correct it. Within just a few weeks new employees become proficient.

Nachteile

There are some things we would like to see - like the ability to mass delete records, open work orders on multiple assets at once.

Vorteile

The most impactful features of eMaint is the ability to create reports to show the data inputted for the different assets. eMaint combines simplicity and complexity into one user friendly style. The additional features made it easy to combine our paper documents into eMaint for excellent record keeping.

Nachteile

The inability to be granted access as a additional super user to the editing features. It has made it difficult in the way of having to be granted each time to get access to the necessary features of editing of reports and work orders.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu eMaint CMMS

Vorteile

I like the Work order generator and the machine maintenance history generator the best.

Nachteile

At times the available options create confusion for me when figuring out a problem inputting data.

Vorteile

easy to use, the support, able to add pictures to assets

Nachteile

The techs screen is different than what the admin sees. Causes confusion sometimes

Vorteile

The team was very helpful when we were going through the implementation and worked with me to pull over all our data from our previous outdated software.

Nachteile

Since I was involved in the implementation and not much daily usage, I sometimes struggle to find the information I need.

Vorteile

Ability to step into others shoes and remedy their errors.

Nachteile

Nothing. We are evolving and moving forward. eMaint will be a part of our journey towards ‘World Class’ status.

Vorteile

The continued improvements that are made to make it more useful at multiple facilities.

Nachteile

app development has not been as good as I expected

Vorteile

As an administrator I appreciate the flexibility with customizing the program to my needs and the ability to continue making changes and tweeks as our needs change. We have been using eMaint for 10 plus years know and the ability and depth that we can review our assets is just wonderful. You can even see our learning curve as to what data is important and relevant has changed over time. Garbage in Garbage is still relevant, so you should spend a lot of time understanding what you want to get out of any CMMS program so you know what you want to capture. Thoroughly entering all data about each asset pay reward later also. Voltages, amperage, location, Motor nameplates as well as spare parts is all a big part of set up and take a fair amount of time, but pay dividends down the road.

Nachteile

It is disappointing that eMaint cannot be integrated with our Infor XA program. Company purchases go through one program and do not update eMaint the way it could unless everything is re-entered a second time. Who has time or resources for that? Consequently our spare parts program does not run as smoothly as we would like.

Vorteile

Customization

Nachteile

Everting there is an update it creates an issue in the system and now X5 is getting all the support and it seems harder to get ahold of anyone.

Vorteile

The ease of use and navigation makes it very easy to learn, couple that with the extensive amount of material and learning courses in the eMaint library. The people in eMaint are always available to help with queries

Nachteile

No cons the ease of use and customer support is world class

Vorteile

eMaint is very easy to use and provides excellent support. It has a wide range pre-built features that helps maintenance teams to keep track of their work, maintenance schedules, asset management, inventory management and much more.

Nachteile

It offers many tool integration but I feel that they can improve tool integration feature which allows you to integrate any tool with this software.

Vorteile

Customer support is great. Being able to have the user customize and make changes without requiring additional support and costs from the eMaint. Additional minor configuration changes can be made by eMaint without additional costs.

Nachteile

The applications has the ability to scan barcodes seamlessly ONLY if you are using Android or IOS. eMaint does not currently support a streamlined barcode scanning function of you are using a windows supported tablet or device making barcode scanning very tedious and complicated. Also, for those who spend some time away from a wireless or cellular connection in the field, would like to see an offline mobile version that syncs when it accesses the next connection at no additional cost. Also, would like to see the "Interactive Plans" table listed as a standard and not have to ask for it for every user.

Vorteile

We started using eMaint several years ago and the set up and integration went smoothly. Once our assets were in the system it was simple to establish PM's and condition inspections. We now use the software to plan, schedule and track all our PM's. These results generate corrective WO's along with department request for corrective or Emergency WO's. Safety also uses the system to track the inspection and condition of all of their assets, extinguishers, fire systems, emergency lights, Chlorine alarms and etc. We are beginning to use it to record and track age on critical components such as motors, gearboxes and etc.
eMaint provides us with a simple easy to use program for all users to access information, print WO's and close them in a timely fashion While keeping the administrative side of the program secure.

Nachteile

I wish they had a phone app to make information accessible in the field. The only way to retrieve or enter information is on a computer. We are trying to capture more BOM and part info in the field to expand our use of the system.

Vorteile

eMaint is highly configurable to your Maintenance process workflow.
The relationship with Fluke is a win for implementing Fluke device monitoring, aka, PdM.

Nachteile

Out of the box, fundamental operation is not there.
There are quirks and features that need to be turned on to operate.
This obstacles must trip you up in your rollout in order to be "fixed".

Need a team dedicated to driving an out-of-the-box solution so that Users can hit the ground running.

Vorteile

Quick and easy for daily use of producing work orders and PMs.

Nachteile

The integration and set up seems a bit more clunky than it has to be. Linking up with Excel to produce relevant and in depth spreadsheets takes way more steps to achieve than it should, in my opinion. There has been a lot of trial and error on my part to amass the info I need into an easily read format.

Vorteile

I like the trackability of asset work orders. We are still growing and adding more assets and will eventually add barcoding etc.

Nachteile

I don't like that when I need help, I can't always get the same representative.

Vorteile

The ability to see an overall picture of work that needs to be done and timelines on each job.

Nachteile

The mobile user interface is not the easiest to use. I feel like the menus should be easier to navigate and you should be able to use the menu no mater what page you are on (instead of having to go back or go to the home screen again).

Vorteile

I like the ability to give the Emaint team an operation I would like to use daily and them do everything in their power to make it happen. Good support staff!

Nachteile

It cannot do everything that I want it to. There are limitations however basic the request.

Vorteile

eMaint x4 and x5 are best at handling work orders. Both are excellent at this. We were unable to implement condition monitoring on x4: it remains to be seen whether x5 will be better. The marketing folks, of course, indicate that x5 will work well.

Nachteile

The x4 support staff were not particulary helpful in explaining how to incorporate hand held and fixed vibration measuring tools into a condition monitoring workflow. We haven't gotten that far, yet, with the x5 rollout.

Vorteile

Easy to use and the support and training you receive is wonderful. We will be exploring other functions in the Emaint system in the near future

Nachteile

I have not found anything that I do not like about the system.

Vorteile

It is great to finally have one maintenance management software to manage Reactive/Emergency Maintenance, Facilities Maintenance, Machine Shop Requests, and Inventory Management all in one.

Nachteile

The one thing I do not like about this system is the mobile app for my technicians. There are too few search options and the scrolling through work orders can be very tiresome. If there was a possibility to have more than one column, there would not be so much scrolling. It is an annoyance that all of my techs complain about. Most of my 14 techs end up printing out their work orders, throwing away all of the unnecessary pages of rows that do not concern them. We were hoping to get away from printing so much paper with this new system. As few as 3 columns, would allow my techs to view the entire work order in one view with minimal scrolling.

Vorteile

The program allows the user to control all facets of the program. I can build my own templates adding or deleting fields. I can even add fields that the CMMS has not pre-built. Data can automatically transfer from one template to another to simplify and speed up the technicians administrative work load. I can self generate reports on any topic at any time. I can keep management informed with out their having to even log into eMAINT. Mass changes are simple to make. I can change 100 work orders from one technician to another in less than two (2) minutes. I have the ability using Work Order Management to generate actions based on preset parameters that will occur with our my having to monitor the system day to day. With the ability to set parameters on every filed I can assure that human error can be removed form the equation. The one on one support team is outstanding. I have called them 100's of times. Their ability to assit the customer is immediate and professional. In my 16 yeas of using eMAINT, I have had less than 12 times that the issue was not solved before I hung up the phone. The support team has always gone above and beyond in providing assistance.

Nachteile

The process of stacking preventive maintenance schedules is time consuming. the mobile app is not included in the basic cost of the program.

Vorteile

Ease of use for scheduling routine preventive maintenance, easy to complete maintenance work orders

Nachteile

pictures can't be customized for each maintenance item, only for the overall asset

Vorteile

Reporting, work order management, asset management. Customer service is second to none.

Nachteile

Report set-up is not always intuitive and can be somewhat complex. I wish their dashboarding was a little more robust.

Vorteile

The demonstration. They prepared the system in a way that made it look amazing.

Nachteile

The implementation program is a Q&A section, not an implementation program. Support doesn't always provide support. The sales team will say yes to everything but they don't even know the system.

Vorteile

The question should be, "What DO you like"... the easy access to reporting, the quick online support has yet to disappoint and getting out cmms mobile. Gone are the days of notebooks and trying to remember what you did.

Nachteile

The communication between fluke mobile and eMaint has been less than smooth. Enough that I'm concerned with the fluke online connectivity options we're currently looking into.

Vorteile

It does have major sorting features, which were not available with our previous software. We are a service/repair company needing to consolidate to a single software to handle work order mgmt, asset mgmt, inventory mgmt, purchasing mgmt, etc. Being able to quickly sort and locate an item is a major plus.

Nachteile

We were hurried through the implementation process, and other than the initial call and giving you a few days, there was little or scattered help and customizing the software. After purchasing the software and implementation, they essentially tell you to watch some videos and have fun setting it up yourself. We have had the software for over a year and are still not able to fully utilize it for our company. We still having to use our previous software while crippling along trying to get some use out of this software and the mobile app, while still trying to get main features set up and fine-tuning others. Not that we haven't had any assistance at all. But it's back-and-forth emails that sometimes get answered and sometimes do not, and a lot of them not understanding your requests, and sometimes situations never getting handled at all. If you are looking for a company that will work to make sure your software is functioning to your liking, this is sadly not it.

Vorteile

Program flexibility - we can easily design it to fit our needs, and progress from simple to more complex when we are ready. Program reporting - captures true costs, and future expenses for better planning and budgeting and tracks workload. Ease of use - both administrators and technicians have better scheduling and more efficient workload that is visible and manageable.

Nachteile

I would appreciate more work instructions for the smaller tasks be documented in a searchable format. For example, when I changed an existing task, I was not aware of the need to "publish" to all assets using the task. In hindsight, it makes sense but not being a computer programmer it did not come to mind.
Also, more tutorial on writing reports would be great.

Vorteile

The flexibility to tailor the system to our work flows. Ease of use. Ability to use the software from an advantage as maintenance. Many options and eMaint staff understand maintenance!

Nachteile

With all the options it is difficult to follow through the setup, Work flows may help stream line this process? Many of the eMaint personnel have better ideas and experience that we did not know going into the process of migrating from another system. This changed are procedures for the better but a lot of group brainstorming has been needed to specify our needs.
