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
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.

I can only speak to our organization and it is very appropriate and well suited for our purposes. We use it every single day and I find it to be user-friendly. I am excited about utilizing more of FMX's features. We can't wait to learn more and be able to keep better records for our tenants.

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.
