The category's biggest failure mode is buying an enterprise workplace platform when you needed work orders, PMs, and asset history that technicians will actually use on a phone.\n\n## What I'd actually recommend, in order\n\n**1. Limble** - My top pick for a typical facilities team (one to a few dozen sites, a handful to ~50 technicians). Best balance of genuinely easy mobile UX and real depth in asset hierarchies, preventive maintenance scheduling, and reporting. Highest-rated in its class (4.8/5 on G2, ~670 reviews). Roughly $28-$99/user/month depending on tier. Pick this if you want one system you won't outgrow in two years.\n\n**2. MaintainX** - The easiest rollout and the one I'd name for a first-time CMMS buyer or a team replacing spreadsheets and a shared inbox. Free tier to try it, paid from ~$16/user/month, 4.8/5 on G2 across ~1,425 reviews. Weaker than Limble on structured asset data and advanced reporting, but adoption is the thing that kills these projects and MaintainX wins on adoption.\n\n**3. eMaint (Fluke) or Fiix (Rockwell)** - Worth a lo", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
