Accruent FAMIS 360 vs. Hippo CMMS

[Well suited when] Linked to EMS - when planning an event that requires furniture delivery or room type changes, we can select that in EMS and create a report that feed to FAMIS and assigns a crew. OR, if you create the work order in FAMIS, have it be able to import back to EMS to include in the booking.

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.

• The ability to create new reports and format them to exactly what you are looking for in a said report.
• Finding mistakes as far as user errors or placing information in the wrong fields or boxes. Interfaces can be made to track these things
• Key Access portfolio, tracking keys for all of our building users

Incentivized

• Simple to use Work requester.
• Great customer service and support.
• Not filled with non-essential items like a lot of "Larger" company CMMS systems

Incentivized

• Needs to be more fields for "pick up/drop off times," or to put in deadline times.
• More communication back and forth to users and the person the order is assigned to. When updates are made, there is no notification that they have been acknowledged.
• It would be nice to have pricing associated with different requests. It is a guesstimate every time on how much labour or time will be needed. Some sort of price menu would be great so when we check the financial page of the order we are not surprised every time.

• 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.

Incentivized

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.

• Accountability of work being done on campus
• Ways for us to charge our customers for the work being performed

Incentivized

• Allows tracking something that we did not have before
• Decision making is now with hard data
