    EAM is a very capable application without necessarily making it a complex tool to use. The nice thing with EAM is that, thanks to its configuration capabilities, it can be implemented in a multi-stage manner where users can start simple and then later (and over time) expand the usage as they learn or better understand its full potential.

    The app is best suited to managing audits of assets and financial reporting, supporting asset control, and serving small businesses, but less suitable for large businesses that rely heavily on online operations. Limited to real-time businesses, but probably better for physical-based or physical asset tracking.

    Usability
    Hexagon AB
    EAM is overall simple to use, especially since the UI and individual forms can be configured per user group with simple clicks by a system administrator.

    Well, it's effective enough for managing asset depreciation, tracking, managing business, and sometimes reporting. It helps us save time by avoiding errors. However, the UI can become complex, and reporting can be clunky. It may take some time to get used to, so it's not always for beginners. Also, not intuitive enough for the modern era in the subject of integration and cloud-based management.

    Support Rating
    Hexagon AB
    The user support is better than average when comparing it to other software vendors we use. Normally they reply very quickly, but there is also a tendency to even reply too fast without fully analyzing or understanding the whole underlying problem. However, when we ask support to escalate something to the development team, this is done quickly as well.

    Rather lackluster. Our account manager generally works with Sage's support team and oftentimes finds herself frustrated with a lack of understanding from the support team. Additionally, when IT is attempting to update the system (which from my understanding is a bear of epic complex proportions) they often times find themselves frustrated and at a loss for what needs done.

    Alternatives Considered
    Hexagon AB
    HxGN EAM is relatively comparable. Much of the software solutions for large enterprise businesses offer relatively comparable features and functionality. For example, integration with our organization's asset management strategy. The set-up of the asset management is organization-specific depending on the type of assets. At our organization, it was primarily equipment and buildings. HxGN EAM stacked up well against the other major solutions such as SAP EAM, IBM Maximo, etc. It may be best to include it as part of the options assessed for a solution to consider.

    Sage was overall a much simpler product to understand. Our users were able to wrap their heads around how it worked and the learning curve was very short. Meanwhile the other products we looked at seemed so complicated for what were needing. I am glad that we chose Sage in the end.

    Return on Investment
    Hexagon AB
    • Infor EAM works as well as the data contained. Management has to be dedicated to a change in culture and everyone must buy into this.
    • Infor EAM is very useful in exposing shoddy maintenance practices, or poor reaction to required maintenance. A company cannot be afraid to let the system work for them, and take the necessary actions to improve maintenance practices to prolong the life of their investments.
    • The only negative, is as mentioned above, Infor has the capabilities with KPIs and custom reports to easily identify unacceptable maintenance practices.
