"Review rating from David K. - Facility Assistant at Taylor Jr High School"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Asset Essentials?

This is a great program to use as "I," the facility assistant, can reach out to other schools/maintenance workers when supplies are needed or any work orders are needed (instead of calling and setting up an appointment). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asset Essentials?

So far, there's really nothing I dislike about this program, to tell you the truth. Very easy to use and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great system!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Asset Essentials?

Brightly packs a lot into their CMMS. This system can track work orders, access assets via QR codes, set alerts to notify about PM, track costs, and analyze data for ongoing assessment. There's so much it can do to help our facilities team operate efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asset Essentials?

There is a learning curve to accessing all the features of the program and utilizing them. Brightly has many resources available online, and webinars, however, when you don't know what you don't know, it's hard to decide where to begin. The tutorial emails have been helpful, but there's so much to uncover! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Asset Essentials"
4/5
What do you like best about Asset Essentials?

Asset Essentials is a great system for tracking inventory and work orders. It's easy to read the Analytics as long as your data is accurate. It's simple to update work orders and attach parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asset Essentials?

There are few things that could be improved. - Attaching parts to assets is cumbersome. - You can't see what PO parts are on if they're still on order without searching through your PO's and then going further into the PO. (Unfortunately there have been times when a part was not order but said that it was because of a typo or someone accidentally adjusting the quantity manually.) - Printing barcodes for parts could be simpler.
