## OpenBlue Workplace Reviews
  ### 1. Good product but poor customer service

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brenda S. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023

**What do you like best about OpenBlue Workplace?**

The system is highly configurable and flexible.

**What do you dislike about OpenBlue Workplace?**

Technical configuration behind the front user interface is confusing, and very little documentation for both technical and user interface.
FM:Systems are slow to address problems and technical issues.

**What problems is OpenBlue Workplace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Primarily space management and asset management. Full set of floor plans with associated site, building and room data, comprehensive asset register with condition, compliance, maintenance data.

I like that it's trying to combine old processes with a new look. I like that for the most part it is snappy. Somewhat easy to use.
