## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd shortlist them for a facilities team:
> 
> **1. Limble** - My default first pick for most facilities/maintenance teams. It hits the rare combination of genuinely easy technician adoption *and* deep configurability (custom PM workflows, asset hierarchies, thresholds). Rated ~4.8 on G2 across 685+ reviews and swept G2's Winter 2026 CMMS index for usability, implementation, and support. Around $28/user/month at the Standard tier. Known weak spots: reporting customization and no native GIS/mapping.
> 
> **2. MaintainX** - The one to pick if your biggest risk is *people not using the system*. It's mobile-first and technicians tend to be productive on day one with almost no training, which matters a lot for distributed janitorial/trades crews. Also 4.8 on G2. Trade-offs: the desktop experience lags the mobile app, and Enterprise-tier pricing escalates fast.
> 
> **3. FMX** - If you're K-12, higher ed, or municipal, I'd put this first, not third. It's purpose-built for that world: calendar-based scheduling that handles facility *event* bookings alongside work orders, plus a request portal any teacher or staffer can use. Reports a 30-minute
