eMaint CMMS vs. UpKeep Maintenance Management

This program is great to track equipment or machinery especially at multiple locations. Can be also used to work with vendors.

Very appropriate within our business since It is so easy to use and implement. The software gives the techs more accountability and ownership of jobs, along with the ability to create re-occurring work orders for inspections and checks. I now get accurate data to report against on a weekly basis, and get KPI's to set goals for our team.

• A software program that is configurable which can meet many different needs. Basically, you can customize the CMMS to meet your specific needs.
• Easy to learn and use.
• Listening to customer needs. As more people are using this software, things are identified to make improvements which eMaint does well at providing updates.

• The app is very simple to use - Very user-friendly for the user, and very easy to set up.
• The ability to upload photos, take photos and then assign the work order ticket to a vendor is great.
• The ability to upload bids, quotes, and issues then create a PDF file that can be exported to vendors, employees, or third parties is great.

• Functionality not delivered as promised - on usage of tab.
• QR code functionality.
• Friction between implementation team and marketing team that sold this to us.

• Periodic maintenance needs are still a little tricky keeping in the system without flooding the user with too many work orders.
• It does not immediately update all the time. For example, closing out work orders and the number of total work orders stays the same until it’s rebooted.
• Search functions need improving.

We love how organized it has made our processes.

I think the platform is user-friendly but there have been some issues that colleagues have been complaining about. For example, the program tends to run slow from time to time. Reporting could be better. We could use more fields for categories under parts and assets.

Never had a good beginning from the start. We are just dreading using this because we paid for it.

I cannot say enough great things about their customer service. From the start of the purchase, Upkeep was extremely helpful and informative. They have been ongoingly keeping us informed and available to answer any of our questions as they arise. They ongoing learning portal is also helpful when new features and changes happen with the interface.

Everything went as planned.

eMaint was by far most the most comprehensive and customizable solution we looked at. The eMaint team was also extremely responsive and available during the selection process. The product training and conferences were very helpful for new user orientation and best practice learning. The customizable reports also allowed us to provide data to management in an easy to digest format

We liked the Hippo CMMS for the mapping feature - you can do an overlay of the building plan and markup the locations - but the barcode feature was not there at the time we reviewed, so there was some automation lost there. UpKeep had the barcode - but lacked the mapping. We preferred the barcode feature. Also - the mobile app for UpKeep was much more mature, and they've since added the sensors (beta) which I don't believe Hippo has yet.

• Saved time, energy, and money by digitally handling all maintenance and customer info.
• Could not be easily integrated with other software.

• It's a bit too soon to speak of ROI, but being able to track issues over multiple service calls has proven to be useful, especially when it comes to holding workers accountable for their use of the machines.
• It's easy to use for those who use it.
• It's no harder to submit issues than it is to send an email. If you can send an email, you can submit an issue.
