Considered Both Products
HxGN EAM
Chose HxGN EAM
HxGN EAM is relatively comparable. Much of the software solutions for large enterprise businesses offer relatively comparable features and functionality. For example, integration with our organization's asset management strategy. The set-up of the asset management is …
Chose HxGN EAM
The ease of configuration, scalability, and built-in functionality were the main reasons for us to go with EAM.
Chose HxGN EAM
Infor EAM is much better than the alternates that I've used in the past. We selected Infor EAM for their customization features and their phenomenal support team.
MaintainX
Chose MaintainX
I think MaintainX is far better in terms of inventory management and tracking than any other product I've seen. We use it exclusively for this role at my facility, even though we have other software options available.
Chose MaintainX
MaintainX is by far a lot easier to navigate around in. Creating procedures and work orders is much easier that now even our maintenance techs are creating these items with minimal training involved. Generating reports that are meaningful became a whole lot easier due to drop …
Chose MaintainX
MaintainX is easier to use, more flexible, and allows us to manage multiple work orders at once, and the mobile app makes it easier for our workers to see and manage their work orders for their shifts. goFMX was more dated, did not offer a mobile app, and much harder to manage …

Likelihood to Recommend
HxGN EAM is probably better suited for larger enterprise solutions where there is a need for enterprise asset management. At our organization, we had a long asset list but also at multiple sites and building locations. With many sites, we found it difficult to sometimes track the assets. The HxGN EAM product allowed for a consolidated view as well as good on-time reporting that can also be customized for different parts of the organization or user groups. This solution generally integrated well with our organization; this should be assessed for your organization.

Creating work orders and procedures is a great way to insure our assets are being inspected as they are needed. Our organization sets up inspections by locations and the number of assets they have. Tying the inspection report and invoice to each asset. However, It was a bit challenging to create work orders/procedures for all assets rather than by location. The original process we set up in the implementation process just didn't work. but with the help of Sergio we were able to come up with a solution that works. It's a bit cumbersome but nevertheless it works.

Pros
  • Easy to customize for specific needs of our clients.
  • Allows system administrators to develop custom reports with Cognos and make these reports accessible to all users, or specific user groups.
  • Easy to apply custom business rules using Flex SQL.
  • User friendly even to a beginner. I always say if a user can navigate an MS Office product, they can navigate Infor EAM.

Cons
  • Infor Enterprise Asset Management doesn't step the user through the process easily. The user must already know the process and how to step through it. But I still don't see this as a very big issue.
  • Would like a separate mobile program to handle the parts side of the equation (receiving, put-up, counting, etc.).
  • The mobile program could do a better job of handling fleet assets. Currently, a lot of configuration and customization is used to get the mobile program to work appropriately in a fleet environment.

  • Missing some functions, but the team is always on top of innovation so if I don't see it today, it may be there tomorrow.
  • Wish there was a simpler way for operators to complete inspections rather than having to create work requests.
  • Pricing is confusing and the way that they have their billing set up is strange.

Usability
EAM is overall simple to use, especially since the UI and individual forms can be configured per user group with simple clicks by a system administrator.

From the initial trial period to now using the system in full, the system was easy to navigate from the very start. The teaching videos within the system are excellent and really help with how to use the system effectively

Support Rating
The user support is better than average when comparing it to other software vendors we use. Normally they reply very quickly, but there is also a tendency to even reply too fast without fully analyzing or understanding the whole underlying problem. However, when we ask support to escalate something to the development team, this is done quickly as well.

  • It has helped not only my team, but the management of our company to see what we do and how we are doing maintenance.
  • Our inventory is a lot to work on, but MaintainX has changed the way we used to inventory and makes it easier for the team to check out or put away parts.
  • Having QR codes around our building for requesters and maintenance to scan has helped out when trying to decipher where the problem is.
