Archibus
Chose Archibus
Better management integration from users and administrators. Archibus is still much better for multiple building management. It’s ability to overlay and activate specific spaces on a floor plan makes it very easy to visualize.
Chose Archibus
Archibus compares well with other IWMS software when it comes to integrating with BIM models and reporting capabilities. I selected Archibus as it has all the tools and processes needed to manage space and moves, with the intention to expand to other modules like Lease …

We used PMC before switching to Hippo [CMMS]. Hippo [CMMS] is much more user friendly and cost effective, and the paperless option was not even available through PMC at the time. The simplicity of entering PM's and work requests in Hippo [CMMS] is far superior to the previous …
Chose Hippo CMMS
Ease of end-user to put in a task that they would like to have completed. Hippo is really easy to use and to complete tasks. If a person putting in a task includes their email or phone number we can get ahold of them to ask and questions and it lets them know progress of their …
Chose Hippo CMMS
Hippo CMMS was more user friendly for my maintenance men then the other software programs we tested. The difference was really how easy Hippo is to use navigate. Also the price point was a little better then the competitors. The calendar view really helped sell us on the …
Chose Hippo CMMS
I have used AMMS extensively. Hippo is far superior to AMMS as it is much easier to manage and much more intuitive. AMMS can be managed but it is tricky. It takes some time to learn all of the ins and outs. Hippo is much easier from the start. I have looked into Bigfoot CMMS …
Chose Hippo CMMS
I can't remember the names of other computer maintenance software, but the main reason for the selection of Hippo CMMS was cost. Hippo CMMS came in much lower than the other CMMS' while still providing the same features and functions.

It’s best suited for Large multi-building configurations (campus) with self-service funtions. There are better options for single buildings. This tool really shines when you are managing multiple buildings that are accessed by the same users.

I find that Hippo [CMMS] is really well suited for any scenario. Most CMMS are geared toward manufacturing or industrial use, Hippo [CMMS] works as well for a school or church as it would for a factory. The ease of use for the requestor makes it an ideal platform for any institution.

User perspective it is simple through a web portal that shows all spaces and buildings. But as an administrator it was quite a bit of work to set up. And by extension updating is also a lot of work

Archibus compares well with other IWMS software when it comes to integrating with BIM models and reporting capabilities. I selected Archibus as it has all the tools and processes needed to manage space and moves, with the intention to expand to other modules like Lease Administration and Asset Management. The constant upgrades to Archibus also helps to keep the software up-to-date with other third party products such as Revit.
