## Reviews

### "AE is a leader" — 5.0/5

> **Saad** | *October 15, 2024* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Organized, reliable, leader
Improves productivity through structured asset planning
The system meets our needs and what we are trying to accomplish.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes , slow loading and freezing

I would like to see better reports so that I can "fine tune" my team and trends.
> 
> Great application to organize my work orders.
I like the ease of use and the ability to customize fields after initial implementation.

### "Asset Essentials gives great reporting data" — 4.0/5

> **Brandi** | *June 10, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was a good product for the work order needs we had.  It helped keep work orders organized and offered great reporting options. The data from the reports was and is still superior to other products out there.
> 
> **Cons**: The mobile aspect was not what we were looking for or needing to support the amount of staff and volume that we have.
> 
> We used the software for around a year, which was an upgrade from a previous version of software we had with the same company.

-----

### "head custodian" — 5.0/5

### "Do not renew with Asset Essentials" — 1.0/5

> **Mathew** | *October 2, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Two years ago, the support was great. Now, it sucks. Over promise and under deliver. School Dude was better.
> 
> **Cons**: Poor support. Cannot use this software across all platforms unless you jump through hoops. The company makes you feel like you work for them and not them working for you.
> 
> It's a joke. Multiple days without access to the system because of their technicians. What good is a work order system that we cannot put work orders into?

### "A great product for work order creation/management." — 5.0/5

> **Claude** | *February 26, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ability to get notices when the status of my work order is either closed or changed with notes and updates to the status of the repair.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes our techs will close a work order without putting notes on it.  Then I have to track them down to find out the outcome or the next step.  I think the comments section should be a mandatory box to fill.
> 
> I find it extremely easy to create my own work orders for my occupants.  I am responsible for a large University School of Medicine and it's very helpful to be able to add my own detailed description of the issue as well as attach phots to help guide the techs.  My customers appreciate the support I can give them to resolve their issue.
