We wrote it, and we make one of them, so we start by telling you how to read it. - No scores or rankings - The strengths and limits of each one - Reviewed in September 2026 Before you read **We have a stake in this.** attendo is one of the ten options. You can stop reading now and we will not hold it against you. If you keep going, this is what we did to make it useful: each profile says who that option is good for and who it is not for, ours included. There are areas where we do not win, and we say so. No scores, no ranking and no affiliate links. Spotted something wrong? Email us at [sales@attendo.me](mailto:sales@attendo.me) and we will fix it. ## Five questions to answer first Your answers change the list. Without them, any comparison, this one included, is of little use. ### Do you maintain your own assets or your customers’ assets? It is the question that most shapes the choice. If they belong to your customers, you need the contract, the SLA and what is billable next to the asset. ### Do your technicians have coverage where they work? Basements, rooftops, plants in the middle of nowhere. If there is no signal, an app that works without it is non-negotiable. ### Do you need to invoice maintenance? If so, look at how the work turns into a quote and a delivery note, and from there goes to your ERP for invoicing, without retyping it. ### How many people will actually use it? Not how many licenses: how many people, from where and on which device. The point of capture decides whether the system gets used. ### Who will keep the inventory up to date? Without an answer, no CMMS will work. A QR code on each piece of equipment helps: whoever is standing in front of it updates it. ## The ten options in one table In alphabetical order, with ours last. The order is not a ranking. Maintenance software options: product type and who each one is for | Option | Type | Who it is for | | --- | --- | --- | | Excel | Spreadsheet | Teams of fewer than five people, with few assets and no response-time commitments. | | Fiix | Cloud CMMS from Rockwell Automation | Industrial plants, especially if they already work with Rockwell. | | Fracttal | Specialized CMMS | Maintenance departments, especially if condition monitoring is central. | | IBM Maximo | Enterprise asset management (EAM) | Large plants and utilities with their own reliability team and thousands of critical assets. | | Infraspeak | Maintenance and facility management | Maintenance and facility management companies that put ease of use first. | | MaintainX, UpKeep and Limble | Mobile-first CMMS | Small plants that want to start tomorrow with an app and grow later. | | MP Software | Veteran CMMS | Plants with years of CMMS use that value continuity. | | Prisma and GIM | CMMS made in Spain | Industrial companies looking for a local supplier and a classic CMMS. | | SAP PM | Maintenance inside the SAP ERP | Large companies with SAP well established. | | attendo | Platform: CMMS, tickets, CRM and field service | Companies that maintain their customers’ assets, and organizations that maintain their own and want support and field work in the same system. | ## What it is, what it does very well, its limits and who it is for The same structure for all of them, ours included. ### Excel Spreadsheet [attendo vs. Excel](https://attendo.me/en/comparisons/attendo-vs-excel) ### Fiix Cloud CMMS from Rockwell Automation ### Fracttal Specialized CMMS [attendo vs. Fracttal](https://attendo.me/en/comparisons/attendo-vs-fracttal) ### IBM Maximo Enterprise asset management (EAM) ### Infraspeak Maintenance and facility management [attendo vs. Infraspeak](https://attendo.me/en/comparisons/attendo-vs-infraspeak) ### MaintainX, UpKeep and Limble Mobile-first CMMS ### MP Software Veteran CMMS ### Prisma and GIM CMMS made in Spain ### SAP PM Maintenance inside the SAP ERP ### attendo Platform: CMMS, tickets, CRM and field service [See attendo CMMS](https://attendo.me/en/cmms) ## Where we do not win (and we say so) It is what makes everything else credible. In these cases, look at another option first. - **Heavy industry with a reliability team** With thousands of critical assets and your own reliability team, Maximo or SAP PM are the standard for a reason. - **Condition monitoring at the center** If all your maintenance revolves around condition monitoring and you already have it set up, Fracttal and Maximo have a long track record there. - **A minimal app to start tomorrow** If you only want a work order app and nothing else, mobile-first CMMS products are simpler. - **A global integration catalog** Global products have more connected apps. We have connectors for the Spanish market and an open API. - **A very small team** With fewer than five people and few assets, a well-built spreadsheet is still enough. ## What to look at first A starting point, not a verdict. Each row lists the options that usually fit that profile best. Which options to look at first, by profile | If you are… | Look first at | | --- | --- | | An internal maintenance department in industry | Fracttal, MP Software, Fiix and, if the plant is large, Maximo | | A company that maintains its customers’ assets | attendo and Infraspeak | | Multi-service facility management | Infraspeak and attendo | | Heavy industry with a reliability team | IBM Maximo and SAP PM | | An industrial company that prefers a local supplier | Prisma and GIM | | A small plant that wants to start now with an app | MaintainX, UpKeep or Limble | | Fewer than five people and few assets | Excel, and take another look in a couple of years | ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a CMMS? A computerized maintenance management system: the software that organizes assets, preventive maintenance plans, work orders and spare parts. ### What is the difference between a CMMS and an EAM? An EAM, or enterprise asset management system, extends the CMMS to the asset’s whole life cycle and is designed for large organizations. IBM Maximo and SAP play in that league. ### What is the best CMMS? It depends above all on whose assets you maintain. For your own assets there are several very good options. If you maintain your customers’ assets, you also need the contract, the SLA and what is billable next to the asset. ### Why are there no scores or ranking? Because needs vary a lot from one company to another, and because we have a stake in this. We would rather give you criteria and tell you who each option is for. ### How do you migrate from Excel or from another CMMS? Assets, locations, customers, contracts and spare parts are imported from Excel or CSV, with a report of the rows that fail. Work order history from another program is scoped as a project. ### Spotted something wrong? Email us at [sales@attendo.me](mailto:sales@attendo.me) and we will fix it.
