MaintiMizer Reviews

Very long term

Comments: I have been using maintimizer since 1999 , I would be your best salesman as I have been using maintimizer for 17yrs (used a competitor product for a time but actually came backto maintimizer which should speak volumes on how good the maintenence tracking and inventory etc. Is )

Pros:

Hard to pick what part I like the best, but I would say its completeness it seems that most of anything has been thought of and it's easy to use

Cons:

Have a limited number of logins for my compan ( this is understood and agreed )my point is that I have a PC which would be my seat I also have two tablets I am the same person logged into doth so that counts as 2, I believe wholeheartedly this should be counted as one seat that I am only using one person this seat, but I understand it is a small point

Too powerful for most

Comments: overall MaintiMizer works well for us with few issues or glitches

Pros:

This has gotten easier to use over the past 13 years that I've used it. It can give you a lot of information and do many things. You do get a lot here and the reports generated have gotten much better. faster too since it's now web-based.

Cons:

This is a huge program that does much more than most people need. Since we stopped doing work orders except for PMs. There are some things that it's won't do but maybe on the next version or update they may be included but nothing major. I wish this could be scaled up or down based on the actual features you need.

MAINTIMIZER

Pros:

ITS HAS SOME OPTIONS THAT ARE EASY TO USE/ TRAIN ON.

Cons:

SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF BUGS AFTER UPDATES FEATURES DON'T WORK CORRECTLY WHEN THEY DID BEFORE. SOME FEATURES JUST DON'T WORK AT ALL! LOW STOCK REPORT IS NOT CAPTURING ITEMS NOT ON ORDER WHEN IT SHOULD. ABC REPORT DOES NOT OFFER ENOUGH OPTIONS AND WE HAVE TO PAY FOR A CUSTOM REPORT THE COST FOR CUSTOM REPORTS IS VERY HIGH AND THEN TOLD WE WOULD ONLY GET REPORT WHEN THE NEXT RELEASE COMES UP.

Entering WO's into system, and giving out Pm 's to Techs on a daily basis.

Comments: ease of knowing what you put in comes out the way it should

Pros:

Pros: easy to use once you put in the right info (easier to search for) parent, and division with in each building. Cons: PM dates are wrong when in search/update, you must go though the WO's to seek. and it does not talk to any other software like Outlook to auto input into system.

Cons:

PM dates or craft, does not show right date or who (craft) is doing WO at a glance, on search / update screen. (we use the Craft as each tech) Also auto E-mail function does not work to show when each WO is in process and or complete it said dept needs to know.

The program that every company must have

Pros:

It is very effective in regard to summarize the costs of assets to carry out a record for each unit. It also measures the effectiveness of each individual employee. With regard to the inventory, I like very much because it is carried out in actual inventory. Personally, I work in the following way. The employee has your mailbox where you leave the work order assigned to the employee recognizes the work to run it. When the job is drafted by the parties on the same sheet and closes in the program leaving in record expenses for work and the deduction of parts.

Cons:

On rare occasions the server slow.If you are going to print a work order should mark that order has already been printed for your compliance as soon as lead and not print record repeated.

Easy to use

Comments: Our experience with the software has been fantastic, a lot of that was because of the training we received and the support we got from MaintiMizer during the start up and in the first month of use.

Pros:

Training and follow up support, were two of the keys to our successful use of the product. We had the trainer come on site for several days and he worked with all of the users to get them comfortable with the software. This resulted in acceptance by everyone. The product allowed the various crews on different schedules to make and leave notes on the status of various tasks and repairs being made on different pieces of equipment. We are a 24/7 facility so the ability to allow cross shift communication and the ability to allow everyone to see the status of a repair has been very valuable.

Cons:

The only problem we found is that we could not link MaintiMizer in with our lock out tag out program.

Maintimizer

Comments: The product works and is reliable. It just seems to take our primary user more time than it should to do daily tasks.

Pros:

We migrated from the Maintimizer on-premises version to the cloud version and are very happy with the administration and availability of the product.

Cons:

The product seems cumbersome. We have lots of parts and processes and it would be nice if there was a way to tag parts as "favorites" for items we use a lot. This would move those items to a filtered dispaly. Also when performing frequent tasks, if the user could setup an express version with default answers to certain fields. These fields would be defined by the user with the default response.

Simple system, customer service is good. Does what most people look for in a system.

Pros:

In my career, I've used everything from big budget CMMS software to homemade Access-based systems. This software does what most people require from a CMMS system at a reasonable price. Service and communication from Ashcom are excellent.

Cons:

Some features of the software are a little difficult to use or require a few extra steps to complete, such as work order assignment. Some things that you only use on occasion are hard to find.

basically I'm only using the system for parts information.

Comments: freedom from a card index.

Pros:

easy to find parts location, usually you put in a part number and it gives me a parts location. i also like the PM scheduling side and the ability for it let us know what reports are due and when..

Cons:

when using an old outdated part number it would be nice if the old part number that was moved to the description side when the new part number added could be found in the text by only inputting in the the new part number in the part number spot. i know it can looked in the description section, but is a lot of extra key strokes.

good tracking and reminder system.

Comments: for this whole 2 years experience with maintimizer software, i find it is value for money versus before, we having a lot of spare part tracking issue example where does the part went to and untraceable machine history to help us defining machine capability. Now we are just following the PM being set earlier and resolving high occurrence machine issue, i seem our machine monthly breakdown record had drop to half comparing to passed.

Pros:

The scheduled PM work order generation.

Cons:

difficult to grouping the passed PM and work order, it will be great is all the data can be form out a report and list or graph so we able to do analysis discussion easily.

Maintimizer Needs Better Flow

Pros:

I like the equipment layout section and the ability to make my own queries.

Cons:

There are quite a few features I am not impressed with namely the untying of rooms, areas from the system as it is not possible. Having to click through 8 different pages to navigate a PM or a WO doesn't really make much sense as there are a lot of systems where this is contained on one page. Very difficult to navigate through. If you mistakenly delte a PM batch without printing the batch it won't let you reprint the PM's. Sometimes when you generate PM's by equipment number it does not kick out all of the PM's and you have to do it by assigned employee. Unfortunately, the support team has not been able to help with these issues.

Useful software

Comments: Tracking history of equipment
Parts inventory
PM schedule

Pros:

easy to deploy standard features are very useful

Cons:

New queries are difficult to handle but they can be defined by the user.

Hospital grade

Pros:

Reports that can be created from the data.

Cons:

Can not make changes, without contacting support, and that there is an additional charge for changes when should have access to make the changes

Outdated software

Comments: Ability to break down costs to finer details.

Pros:

Ability to populate parts and machine databases.

Cons:

Some important features only work in internet explorer.

Menasha Facility Usage of MaintiMizer in CMMS, replaces MP2 in 2019

Comments: Okay

Pros:

Easy access by other users on our internal Ethernet network. Using VPN works well if your connection is solid.

Cons:

PM Task is hard to understand, we developed equipment numbers that are call tasks, best way to track for us. Struggling to find it to reschedule or generate each top of the month.

For the most part the software does what it is intended to do.

Pros:

Easy to use for guest users. Information is readily accessible. Quick comprehension of website by department staff .

Cons:

I have issues with the reporting process, very cumbersome and I am not able to get the required information as needed. Also sometimes the website will stall.

Such an easy to use program

Comments: We love MaintiMizer here at our facility. It is easy to navigate, and the customer service support is outstanding!

Pros:

easy to navigate

Cons:

none so far

A lot of data entry to get started, but well worth it.

Comments: Data recording of maintenance and repairs. Tracking of repair parts used and where used. Easy re-ordering of used parts.

Pros:

The software is very detail oriented. It tracks employees, parts, and equipment. Very helpful support staff.

Cons:

You're not able to attach pictures to SOP's. You can attach them to printout with, but not on, the SOP.

I don't use it much but when I do its very user friendly

Pros:

Easy to navigate through screens, user friendly for the most part. Can easily find what I need without too much effort.

Cons:

Depending on what I am doing, its sometimes hard to find the clock #'s I need to enter the hours for employees, I don't have their clock # only their name so I have to scroll through ALL employees to find the correct one.

great product to use

Pros:

Good set up for use. Able to keep track of a lot of stuff. Has many tools to use and can be a great ordinary use.

Cons:

Some of the drop downs could be more user friendly. It looks a bit over whelming to a new user so that could be smoother.

Functional and gets the job done.

Comments: Able to keep up on all our maintenance on equipment.

Pros:

The thing I like most about this software is that we are able to label all our equipment by area. It's very helpful when printing out the PM work orders for the week.

Cons:

The biggest flaw I find in this software is that at time the menus can be very difficult to navigate.

We're setting up the system for our Company. Amazed at how much information the system can hold.

Pros:

This software is going to be great for tracking and assigning PMs and work orders. Tracking repairs on equipment to note repetitious repairs. Adding in total repair costs of equipment to justify replacements or major overhauls of equipment.

Cons:

In starting from scratch, there is a lot of data entry required. Although customer service is a great help at uploading information, there is a lot of work on our end too.

Nice system for basic maintenance organizations

Comments: MaintiMizer is an overall good system. Allows for parts tracking, POR and Purchase Orders, Time tracking, and more. It does however rely heavily on user input and does not have a lot of automation needed in more robust, predictive environments.

Pros:

Customizable dashboard, parts rooms and the ability to connect inventory to work orders

Cons:

Customization and expanding capabilities is limited and expensive. Feels like an old system.

MaintiMizer Training

Pros:

Able to install all parts and books into system.

Cons:

Nothing. Seems to be what we are looking for.
