How the Cloud Changed Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)

While computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) have been around since the 1960s and went through multiple stages of transformation, cloud computing is probably the most crucial development in this software market. This is because the cloud impacts how CMMS is delivered and maintained and on the flexibility, ease of use, and adoption of the software.

Question on: UpKeep

Is there a way to track an asset and how much is spent on it?

I have a lot of assets that I apply my work orders to and would like to see how many work orders each one takes so I can determine whether it is worth fixing or replacing.

Hi Dylan! That's a great question and the answer is absolutely! The best maintenance teams we know constantly make the mental decision of whether to replace or repair based on the purchase price, depreciated value, and cost of repair. In UpKeep you can track warranties, purchase price, and depreciation in real time! Learn more here! https://www.onupkeep.com/asset-management-software https://www.onupkeep.com/warranty-tracking

What’s the best value CMMS for a tech startup?

Hey G2! I want to start a discussion with this community to identify the best value CMMS platforms for tech startups. See my entire list below and let me know your thoughts.

This time I’m looking into the most cost-effective and easy-to-use CMMS platforms that make sense for a tech startup. We don’t need a huge enterprise system, just something reliable that helps track assets, manage preventive maintenance, and support a small but growing operations team.

Here are some of the top-rated options from G2’s CMMS Software category:

Fiix CMMS: Flexible and cloud-based with a free version and scalable features. Ideal for startups testing their first CMMS.
MaintainX: Lightweight and mobile-first platform with built-in communication tools. Good for tech teams managing equipment and remote teams.
Limble: Affordable, user-friendly, and feature-rich for tracking maintenance tasks and asset performance.
UpKeep: Designed for quick setup and mobile access. Works well for early-stage teams needing a simple way to assign and monitor tasks.
eMaint CMMS: More advanced but offers tiered pricing and configuration flexibility. Better suited for startups expecting fast growth or regulatory needs.

Has your startup used any of these CMMS tools? What delivered the most value without adding too much complexity?
