Honest comparison · last verified Apr 2026

The CMMS comparison
that doesn't lie to you.

We're a CMMS vendor writing about our competitors. That's usually bad news for honesty — so here's our commitment: every row cites a public source, every rating is on the same 1–10 scale, and when a competitor beats us we say so plainly. We lose some rows here. That's the point.

Where Fiix winsPlain-spoken: If you run meter-based PM at industrial scale — compressor run-hours, forklift cycles, cumulative load — Fiix is genuinely better than us. We're building toward parity but we're not there yet.

Where UpKeep winsPlain-spoken: UpKeep's mobile app is the best in the category. We rebuilt ours in 2025 and it's genuinely great — but if 90% of what your team does is on a phone, UpKeep still edges us on polish.

Where Fiix winsPlain-spoken: Fiix, backed by Rockwell, has deeper analytics and ML-based failure prediction that we don't match yet. If Sankey cost-flow diagrams on a Tuesday matter to you, that's them.

Where AssetOS is not the right answer.

If you run 10,000+ assets across continents with deep SAP/MES integration needs, talk to Fiix. If you need the absolute simplest mobile-first app for a 5-person shop with zero PM complexity, UpKeep is probably a better fit. We're honest about the 20% of the market we don't serve well.
