I wish it was a real app and not just a website link. > > Overall we have been using it for some time, and again, it works well. Just need to improve the mobile version. ----- ### "Asset Essentials is amazing" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *18 October 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use. Has all features we need. Can be adapted to fit your needs. Very responsive support. > > **Cons**: Would like to have had more help with implementation. > > Excellent. This is our 2nd work order/asset management program and it is 1000% better than the last one. Has streamlined the work order and accounting process greatly. ----- ### "Do not renew with Asset Essentials" — 1.0/5 > **Mathew** | *2 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Two years ago, the support was great. Now, it sucks. Over promise and under deliver. School Dude was better. > > **Cons**: Poor support. Cannot use this software across all platforms unless you jump through hoops. The company makes you feel like you work for them and not them working for you. > > It's a joke. Multiple days without access to the system because of their technicians. What good is a work order system that we cannot put work orders into? ----- ### "AE is a leader" — 5.0/5 > **Saad** | *15 October 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Organized, reliable, leader Improves productivity through structured asset planning The system meets our needs and what we are trying to accomplish. > > **Cons**: Sometimes , slow loading and freezing I would like to see better reports so that I can "fine tune" my team and trends. > > Great application to organize my work orders. I like the ease of use and the ability to customize fields after initial implementation. ----- ### "Maximize your Preventive Maintenance program with Asset Essentials." — 5.0/5 > **Charles** | *12 April 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Asset Essentials helps to streamline the core functions of maintenance management into an easy to use, intuitive software solution at an incredibly attractive price point. The customer service is world class, and the feedback loop allows for meaningful dialogue between the Brightly team and our organization. > > **Cons**: Early adoption was tough, and a path to scale was not clear. This became way easier as time progressed and our userbase's skill set matured. > > I am an administrator who also manages use cases and internal development and could not be more satisfied with our company's decision to go with Asset Essentials over some of the other more costly players in the maintenance management space. The higher the cost does not necessarily equal higher value. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/103701/maintenanceedge?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/103701/maintenanceedge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
