FacilityBot vs. Hippo CMMS

Facilities Managers spend their days ensuring that the building operations are running smoothly and efficiently. Using FacilityBot helps them to digitize their FM workflows so that can manage their time more easily and effectively. It's all about working smarter, not harder! The asset management function of FacilityBot is also beneficial and useful. The tool also provides easy-to-read statistics reports for users.

I find that Hippo [CMMS] is really well suited for any scenario. Most CMMS are geared toward manufacturing or industrial use, Hippo [CMMS] works as well for a school or church as it would for a factory. The ease of use for the requestor makes it an ideal platform for any institution.

• Limited checklist templates
• To have extension for the free trial
• There is room for improvement in terms of customization of simple reports.

• Completed work order reporting can be improved. It seems harder than it should be to get the data I need.
• I would like to streamline the work order closing procedure. I feel like it takes longer than it should to open various screens and add labor, mark tasks complete, change status, etc. It is a minor inconvenience, but just waiting a few seconds opening up a new window is time-consuming with many WO at a time.
• Labor tracking and reporting could be improved.

I've used Hippo for several years now. I'm sure other programs have been developed since I did my comparison testing. But Hippo has always done everything we needed it to do. It's very reliable. My guys don't doubt whether or not it's doing its job. The calendar view, ease of use and floor mapping set this program apart from others.

FacilityBot replaced multiple layers of coordination and communication between users and subcontractors. There are many facilities management systems that are not user-friendly on the market. Most of them do not support multiple communication methods and are costly. Unlike FacilityBot, the implementation wasn't as straightforward. In terms of features, not many are as feature-rich as FacilityBot.

Ease of end-user to put in a task that they would like to have completed. Hippo is really easy to use and to complete tasks. If a person putting in a task includes their email or phone number we can get ahold of them to ask and questions and it lets them know progress of their task.

• Quick and prompt fault reporting and tracking
• Save cost and resources
• FacilityBot also provides simple and evaluated statistics

• Allows tracking something that we did not have before
• Decision making is now with hard data
• Replacement and repair cost have been reduced with tracking of maintenance.
