ServiceMax replaces a "fix it when it breaks" mindset for a proactive, audit-ready approach. It is a a smart long term tool if your priority is high-precision work and keeping your safety standards working.

Pros

The traceability of tasks is a standout feature for anyone in the engineering industry. It provides a full, timestamped trail for every task/ issue in the asset, showing exactly who worked on what part and when.

Cons

Navigating through multiple screens just to close out a simple task or update a status can be frustrating for technicians who just want to get the job done and move on.

Pros

I have used servicemax daily for years. We integrated service max with Salesforce and this works well. Used for the field management and dispatch of work orders to national engineers, the system works wellIt is easy to train to new staff and has a good and simple layout.

Cons

We had multiple issues with the dispatch console which have led to periods of downtime

Pros

Generally easy to find historical WO information and information on technicians. Once WOs are created, it is very easy to change or update details on the WO.

Cons

I wish there was a more accessible way of determining who is available from a particular service team for a particular project scope directly from the WO page. I find the current process clunky.

Tech support is phenomenal, they are always willing to address issues, and are always polite despite frustrations. This is a good program for those who often work remotely.

Pros

Overall initially this software appeared to work well in terms of our company size, ease of access while we worked remotely, and ensured high availability in terms of our sales platform.

Cons

The cost of the software, is not as definitive as it states. While i rate this software in mid-tier, in order to gain optimal benefits from utilizing this program, you will have to pay development fees towards the subscription fees. As a large company, this becomes costly. Moreover, gaining resources can be tricky.

It has been a horrible experience and a lot of their tenured leaders have left over the past couple months.

Pros

\* I enjoyed using ServiceMax when they were backed by General Electric (GE). \* ServiceMax is compliant and works which is always a plus.

Cons

\* ServiceMax has identity issues because the platform sits on top of Salesforce. Salesforce sold off ServiceMax years ago to GE, then GE sold it off to a private equity company. \* ServiceMax is clunky and moves at the pace of molasses.

All in all its a good product. But when it comes to trying to back out or remove the package from Salesforce it's not a straight forward one click uninstall.

Pros

Although a little time consuming, once the set up is complete. The 'SFM' driven process flow means the users will be able to complete the required information not just in a service flow, but any that the business requires. Worked very well with some employees who were forgetting certain entry points or attempting to skip points in the process.

Cons

The only real negative point to Servicemax is the resource hunger. The package when installed in Salesforce seems to take up a large amount t of space, and the custom code delivered in our implementation (by Servicemax or their trusted partners) was not the best commented so it was difficult for a programming novice to amend for code coverage purposes.

I think ServiceMax was a good choice for us. ServiceMax has by far one of the best customer support systems I have had the pleasure of dealing with. Everyone at ServiceMax seems to be extremely knowledgeable and always happy to help or find the right person to help. Recently we had the need for tracking specific tools used by our Technicians. These Tools require calibration on a specific intervals and using a tool outside of its calibration expiration is a a regulatory concern. Before, this tracking was done manually via a spreadsheet and audits on this process were poor. I was able to build custom objects in Salesforce and then leverage ServiceMax to create the functionality that allows our Service Center to easily manage the Tool Calibration process and improve regulatory compliance. This included automatic notifications when tools were due for calibration, when tools ship to and from our Service Center and the ability for Technicians to view, receive and ship Service tools from the ServiceMax mobile application.

Pros

Overall the software does what its intended to do. It allows our Field Service Technicians better visibility to their workload and a one stop shop for completing service reports, ordering spare parts, visibility for upcoming preventive maintenance visits, a heads up on instrument technical updates, etc. It also provides dispatchers and Service Managers with the information necessary to realign jobs and stay on top of the day to day. From a support standpoint, I find the system is fairly easy to learn and setup. There is a learning curve to getting started but the documentation is great and the SM community is fantastic.

Cons

ServiceMax configuration needs some type of versioning or configuration tracking. It also needs an audit trail of who changed what and when. May times I go behind someone and have issues to find out what they may have changed inside of an SFM. The Preventive Maintenance plans and triggering PM Work Orders process seems like it could be simplified a bit. There seems to be a lot going on and it makes the overall process a little complicated.

All the service activity is managed on Servicemax , with integration to the ERP. Both direct employees and partners are reporting only in Servicemax

Pros

The flexibility and ease of configuration of the screens and processes , per the organization logic, is great. Can make big changes in short time. Partners (community) platform is great and made a big change in our org.

Cons

The screens time load is slow. Few basic functions like connectivity to price book, off line mode, need to be improved . Support is extremely slow , even of urgent issues
