## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-05 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> For facilities teams specifically (buildings, HVAC, tickets from occupants, vendor coordination) rather than factory floors, here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order:
> 
> **1. Limble** - My default first recommendation for most teams. Highest-rated CMMS on Capterra (4.8/5), and the reason is consistent: technicians actually use it. QR-code asset scanning, a request portal you can hand to non-technical staff, PM scheduling that isn't painful to set up. Implementation is measured in weeks, not quarters. Pricing is quote-based, which is the main annoyance. ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/limble-vs-upkeep))
> 
> **2. MaintainX** - Best choice if your team lives on phones and you want to be running next week. Rated 4.8/5 across 1,000+ reviews, strongest mobile execution in the category, and a genuinely usable free tier to pilot with. Customer support gets unusually good marks. Weaker on deep asset hierarchies and financial reporting. ([Capterra FMX vs MaintainX](https://www.capterra.co.uk/compare/130563/179296/fmx/vs/getmaintainx))
> 
> **3. FMX** - The one I'd name first for schools, districts, municipalities, and churches. 4.7/5, built around the facilities use case speci
