"Great inventory and work order system."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Asset Essentials?

Being able to track inventory, create and review past work orders. The mapping system is my favorite part of Asset Essentials. I like being able to review the locations of work orders and seeing the data that is collected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asset Essentials?

I was tasked with being my division's admin and building our system out and it did take me a little bit of time to fully fledge out our system. We did have a video conference though with a member of Asset Essentials and it was helpful. I also liked the old name Dude Solutions more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A force multiplier for our maintenance department."
5/5
What do you like best about Asset Essentials?

The intuitive yet flexible nature of the software allows for a high degree of customization and adaptability. We have been able to scale AE into multiple departments, that we had not originally envisioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asset Essentials?

At times, it seems that our data transfer rate is slow. When this occurs (VERY infrequently), this adds a small amount of time to the back end of each interaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not experienced any real downsides to using the software yet. There are just some fields I would like added to the general work order submission screen, but I was able to work around it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
