Pros
This is my second launch of MegaMation in a facilities application. The previous instance was in a hospital setting and it went smoothly as well. Both applications were customized to meet my specific needs and this is an evolving process; not just an initial start-up service. Often they have had a better idea about how to meet my specific requests, sometimes in ways I hadn't even considered, and other times we've both had to go back to the drawing board. The outcome is always consistent though, we always get what we need.
Cons
In both places that I have used MegaMation, it is hard for the IT people and Privacy people to wrap their heads around the concept of off-site servers and not "buying" the software. The best analogy one can use is that we all use on-line banking with our personal information out there in an off-site server and we don't own the software.
Overall
Over the past 5 years I would estimate that I have recommended MegaMation to 50 organizations. The highest recommendation that I can reference is that the use of MegaMation was a condition of my accepting the position that I am in now.

Pros
Module based application
Total inventory control; able to link inventory to equipment and assets, also able to issue inventory to work orders.
Purchasing Module, able to generate purchase orders (auto reorder) based on min max levels
pm and work order interface, able to attach Microsoft word and excel docs to work orders and pm's.
Maintenance shift log, maintenance personnel are able to document work completed on there log approved by there supervisor. (Great function)
Maintenance KPI (KEY PROFORMACE INDICATERS) the system auto tracks KPI on a work order console dash board, Great function able to drill down to specific Equipment and people. The following are some we track.
1. Time planned
2. Time scheduled
3. Time documented
4. Inventory turn
5. PM Completion
6. % Maintenance down time.
This alone has pushed our TPM (total productive Maintenance) Program ahead.
Cons
I have no complaints, most maintenance organization only use 30% of there CMMS.
We use 95% of our system and have problems that are not addressed immediately.
Overall
Highly recommend, Great tool, user friendly, great tech support always will to change and modify application to meet our needs.
I use this tool everyday for maintenance work flow management, inventory tracking and purchasing. I have worked industrial maintenance for 25 years and by far this is the best CMMS tool I have used.

Pros
This program is very easy to use, the reports are great and fast. The support is always there and if a question can not be answered at the time an answer will come in a very short time frame. When i help people start up the program it does not take a lot of time for them to be using a module.
Cons
There could be more web based items avalible to the system.
Overall
Keep up the good work!!!
