Brightly Asset Essentials™ vs. CloudApper CMMS

SchoolDude has been great for us to easily submit maintenance requests, keep them organized for tracking, and simple for staff to view and respond to.

It's ideal for people who have a smaller budget but want a fully-fledged CMMS solution. Moreover, it's ideal for everyone who is looking for more than a CMMS solution, as the solution provides access to a platform that has other enterprise apps. It might not be ideal for those who want cutting-edge tech such as IoT sensors support, predictive maintenance, etc. Other than such organizations, it's best for everyone else.

• For maintenance requests, Dude Solutions Help Desk documents the request and then allows the custodial staff to record updates for the staff member to see. So, the request and solution are available for all parties involved.
• For building use, I find some of the features helpful including the ability to see if what you are looking for is available before you book it.
• Overall, Dude Solutions Help Desk is not difficult to use.

As I said, CloudApper CMMS has made our work so simple, it is difficult for us to use any other software. It is so easy to install that any one can be trained without any hassle. The data we receive based on CloudApper CMMS helps us to take certain decisions which are important for us.

I find the basic concept and use of Dude Solutions Help Desk to be good, but I think it could use an update to look and work more smoothly. The maintenance aspect of Dude Solutions Help Desk is definitely better than the scheduling tool. The maintenance request does have a decent set-up and does offer clear communication between the staff member and custodial staff. The scheduling tool needs a calendar feature and the ability to receive a notification in your calendar. Both tools do have an email service that directly sends updates to your email.

I have used a ticketing system through FirstClass that does not come anywhere close to where SchoolDude is in ease of use and quality of a program.

The CloudApper CMMS app is highly affordable. I have looked for few apps before I made my final decision to purchase this one. Plus their customer service is excellent. They have helped me unexpectedly during my journey to start with this apps which is very rare to find this days.
