About Brightly Asset Essentials is a cloud-based maintenance solution developed for daily and advanced maintenance operations management. With our software, users can initiate, assign and track the progress of maintenance work orders; manage assets and equipment; develop advanced workflows with preventive maintenance (PM) scheduling; utilize Internet of Things (IoT) technology for predictive maintenance (PdM); and manage inventory. In addition, Asset Essentials has functionality for document management, reporting and mobile capabilities.		About Maintainly is a refreshingly simple cloud-based CMMS built for maintenance teams who need to get things done — not spend hours learning complex software. Teams use Maintainly to create, assign, and manage both reactive and preventive work orders, with full support for photos, meter readings, downtime tracking, file uploads, and audit trails. Preventive maintenance schedules run automatically based on time or meter thresholds, so nothing gets missed. Assets are organized into flexible hierarchies, tracked geographically for movable equipment, and accessed instantly by scanning QR codes in the field. Every maintenance event is logged to a full history per asset. Technicians stay on top of tasks through native iOS and Android apps — supporting on-site work order updates, task comments, time logging, and push notifications. Requesters can submit work orders without needing a user account.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Setup was easy, support is really good, and maintenance management at our organization is way better than it was before. Much less paperwork now that we use Asset Essentials. Cons A bit of a learning curve but not bad at all and understandable since the software allows us to do so much		Pros from Real Users Pros easy to use, with not too many features that it becomes confusing to use, seems to be constantly updated. Maintainly has a very simple setup process. Layout and navigation is very intuitive. Seeing tasks and completing work for the users is straightforward and not cumbersome in any way. While remaining simple to use, it still has loads of built in customization and automation options to build robust processes and workflows. As a very small company, we were looking for ease of use for the end user, simplicity and speed in getting setup to start utilizing, and a price point that was not prohibitive to our company's size and needs - and that's what we got with Maintainly. Once everything is inputed , it is a quick and easy app. Easy to create reports monthly. easy to go back and see the work done. Love the option for tags and pictures. Works perfectly with our small company. I like the ease of creating tasks and how easy it is to add checklists. The reports are easy to use and once it is in excel the columns can be modified or deleted to suit your particular needs.
