What do you like best about ServiceMax?

As we are using Optimax API (Ease of Integration ) ,On the Day Work orders getting assigned in a optimised way in major scenarios ,

-> We got so many functionalities (Mandatory resources,Preferred Resouces , Banned Resources , Costfactors,dependencies ) that we can send it to optimax and get a optimised response . Hence it is easy to use .

-> API Response is so quick , we get the response in few seconds .

-> When we went live in production we have so many doubts and observation hence raise the case . If it is urgent we get the support help quicky (Usually had discussions with Bala)

->Frequency of Use : We are using this in production currently , all On the Day work orders are assigned by Optimax APIs . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ServiceMax?

We were able to build out menus and and selections so that it nicely guided the FSE through the steps to complete a service efficiently and accurately. We moved from an in house server with distributed jobs to the cloud which means that the data is global and always up to date. Support is responsive and collaborative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ServiceMax?

The end user experience is nice but the development tools could are a bit awkward and clunky. Migration tool could be more granular and specific and the Wizards could have more consistent look and feel but us IT people figure it out and get it done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ServiceMax solving and how is that benefiting you?

ServiceMax makes our Field Service reporting and management easy to do. I am surprised how many Go app users there are instead of using the browser. They like the flow and adapted well to this change from an offline process with uploads. Management is able to see data in real time and we have been able to plan and be more efficient with FSE's time which improved customer response time and get them up and running again.

It is on such occasions that connectivity is limited on remote sites and I have been unable to close tickets and even reports. An option for fully offline data entry with a sync option would be our best choice for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As for the efficiency, the issue with paper tickets for documenting work and using special cards for entering the data into the computer has been solved in FieldFX. The interactive functions released my time for prospective and extra obligation in my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
