    NEXGEN Asset Management
    It is very easy to use and everyone knows about it. It integrates quite easily with most everything. Our clients have not complained about it and seems to be well suited to the manufacturing sector where we work, but for small mom and pop shop it's a bit much, we would recommend a more simple product to those clients

    UpKeep Maintenance Management
    For companies that have larger facilities or multiple properties - this software is superb. You can track every maintenance plan - daily/weekly/monthly/annually - so nothing ever goes undone. I'm talking daily cleaning to refreshing the paint in the parking lot each year - you can easily schedule all of this maintenance within the app. Asset tracking - everything from machinery to tools to doors - you can tag and track all. Break/fix over time is huge - you can use the reporting function to see how many times something has broken over time - so now you can assess if it's more cost effective to replace rather than repair.

    • Tracking service issues - There's really no more excuses for not knowing when the machine was last serviced. Upkeep allows us to track that.
    • Scheduling - Knowing in advance which machines will need maintenance in the future allows us to actively prepare for shut-down periods.
    • General knowledge - Users can add their knowledge to the archives of each machine we have, helping to improve the trouble-shooting process.
    • Easy to update, easy to make - It's almost too easy to create and update files for locations, assets, parts, and issues.

    Cons
    NEXGEN Asset Management
    • Am currently having issues with getting PM's to generate
    • Customer service is great 75% of the time, but there are more difficult issues on the occasion that it takes me a while to hear back on, and I have to check-in

    UpKeep Maintenance Management
    • Periodic maintenance needs are still a little tricky keeping in the system without flooding the user with too many work orders.
    • It does not immediately update all the time. For example, closing out work orders and the number of total work orders stays the same until it’s rebooted.
    • Search functions need improving.

    Usability
    NEXGEN Asset Management
    The mobile platform has improved a lot in the 5-6 years we've been involved. In my opinion, NEXGEN Asset Management has targeted making mobile devices as user-friendly and useful as possible for field users. NEXGEN University has been a great tool to educate the use of these mobile platforms.

    I think the platform is user-friendly but there have been some issues that colleagues have been complaining about. For example, the program tends to run slow from time to time. Reporting could be better. We could use more fields for categories under parts and assets.

    I cannot say enough great things about their customer service. From the start of the purchase, Upkeep was extremely helpful and informative. They have been ongoingly keeping us informed and available to answer any of our questions as they arise. They ongoing learning portal is also helpful when new features and changes happen with the interface.

    Previously had MEX, though had not implemented it throughout the business. It was way too difficult for the techs to use on the fly and was just a nightmare to implement. UpKeep, on the other hand, is a walk in the park.

    • Compared to other task managers, the user cost for Upkeep is very high. But to the degree the staff are willing to work with you, it is completely justified.
    • The concern with an organization my size are items slipping through the cracks whether that is internally or by our renter base. Upkeep minimizes this to a great degree.
    • You need to get everyone within your organization to buy into upkeep. It can only be as good to the degree that it is utilized.
