NEXGEN Asset Management vs. Tririga

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

It is great for organizations who have complex data or large amounts of data. For an organization that has small amounts of data or very simple processes TRIRIGA might be too much. It can handle small data and processes but the costs of implementing and supporting might be greater than the reward that would be provided. It also has a lot of room to grow. You can utilize existing forms and business objects or you can custom build new ones to fit business needs.

• 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

Incentivized

• In order to get into the back end and manage spaces, there are too many "clicks" and pop up boxes to get to the area that is needed, which causes delays and confusions.
• It can be a bit slow when processing requests, pulling up maps.
• Trigia holds a lot of information, which is good but it could be easier to get to at times.

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 give it this rating because it has more than one way to get to most forms but it can be hard to navigate if you don't know the terms TRIRIGA uses. Also being a new developer can bring up issues with not knowing exactly where certain things are found. The documentation doesn't help too much sometimes since the TRIRIGA community is pretty small.

In the almost 7 months I have been working on my current project there has been exactly one unplanned outage. This was in the QA environment during data migration and was caused by a workflow that was circular and self referencing which caused the processing JAVA memory to spike, not resolve and then crash the server.

TRIRIGA does a good job of this, being a server based web application it is like other web based systems so it's not as fast as a client server application or a local system but it is very consistent across locations and for different roles and employees. This does allow consistent use no matter where people are located. It also does a fair job of notifying the user when it is loading with the spinning circle or hour glass. The reports can get fairly complex but native TRIRIGA reports perform well even when they are complex. They can be a little slow if they are fetching 100's of 1000's of rows but this doesn't take more than 10 or so seconds. I have yet to write a native report that takes more than 20 seconds and that 20 second report is getting data from 4 BO's and nets over 130K rows.

The process does seem to take some time and has to go through a preset escalation process. IBM does a good job of communicating through the process, it just seems to take it's natural course.

Do research on the client processes and determine which modules need to be implemented and in which order they should be implemented in.

Nexgen is much more widely use and required less upfront investment in training. it was also less costly than Upkeep. The marketing was about the same for both, but it seemed like a simple decision as one of our key people had used nexgen previously and had good things to say about it

Incentivized

Much faster web based program with more category options and ease of mass batch printing.

TRIRIGA can be split into many servers and is easily scaled over multiple environments. TRIRIGA is also capable of being implemented on multiple operating systems and a wide range of environments with different database management systems. This makes it easy for clients to choose since they can choose vendors they have previous relationships with or are required to use for various reasons.

Incentivized

• Decrease travel time by reviewing groups of work orders for scheduling multiple jobs at one location.
• Improved work order completion rate by giving us an effective work status review tool.
• Improved communication between all parties by having updated information in one location (on the work order).

Incentivized

• It's a positive and works well with the business.
• It doesn't "stand out" from competitors but has great potential if updates were establisthed.
• The pros outweigh the cons when using Tririga.
