## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-20 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short list
> 
> **1. Limble CMMS** - My default recommendation for most facilities teams. It hits the sweet spot: genuinely good mobile app for techs in the field, PM scheduling that doesn't require a consultant to configure, and an onboarding process people actually finish. Runs ~$45/user/mo (Standard) to $75 (Premium+), with custom Enterprise pricing.
> 
> **2. MaintainX** - Best if your biggest problem is that technicians won't use the software. It's mobile-first and work-order-centric, closer to a messaging app in feel, so adoption on a distributed crew is the easiest of any tool here. Weaker on deep asset hierarchies and financial reporting.
> 
> **3. Brightly Asset Essentials (Siemens)** - The one I'd name first for schools, universities, municipalities, and healthcare. It's built around public-sector workflows - capital planning, deferred maintenance backlogs, compliance documentation - and its sibling **TheWorxHub** is specifically tuned for hospitals and senior living.
> 
> **4. FMX** - Strong for multi-building campuses where facilities also handles room/event scheduling and tenant or staff request intake. That request-portal side is better than most pure CMMS tools.
> 
> **5. eMaint
