## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For facilities teams specifically (buildings, HVAC, janitorial, multi-site - not plant floor), here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Limble CMMS** - My default recommendation for most facilities teams. Highest user satisfaction in the category (4.8/5 on G2, and a notably higher G2 satisfaction score than Fiix), and the reason is adoption: QR-code asset tagging, a genuinely good mobile app, and a request portal your tenants/staff will actually use without training. Facilities work dies on technician non-adoption, and this is the one that survives it.
> 
> **2. MaintainX** - Tied with Limble at 4.8/5 and the strongest pick if your team lives on phones and communicates in chat. Fastest time-to-value of anything here; you can be running work orders in a week. Weaker on deep asset hierarchies and reporting, so it's better for small-to-mid teams than for a 50-building portfolio.
> 
> **3. FMX** - The specialist pick for schools, universities, and government/municipal facilities. It handles the stuff generic CMMS tools ignore: room and event scheduling tied to maintenance calendars, work requests from non-technical staff, and multi-building calendars. If you're in K-12 or higher ed, start
