What do you like best about FMS:Workplace?

Here at Extreme Networks, we love how easy and well-organized the FMS workplace app is. We can easily access our company floor plans which we have 30. We love how we can assign cubes and quickly identify workspaces as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FMS:Workplace?

So, one thing I can say that I dislike about it is sometimes the system takes a little bit longer to upload. Not sure if it's a cloud/ network thing. I do wish the upload was a tad bit faster Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FMS:Workplace?

Ability to QUICKLY provide answers to those requesting space information such as how much space a certain department has or which departments occupy a building. We used to use Aperture and getting information out of the system was not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FMS:Workplace?

Having to know HTML to develop your own Home Page and having to use an old Internet Explorer version with Silverlight to develop our Home Page. Dashboard development in Silverlight is awful. As of right now you can't use the NEW dashboard tool unless FM hosts your system and my university has no intention of doing that so I am stuck with an antiquated system for home page and dashboard development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FMS:Workplace solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to use the system to analyze our departmental space assignments to develop space standards for future construction/renovation projects. As a state university we are required to submit annual reports to the state detailing our buildings and space utilization data. Generating these reports has been extremely labor intensive in the past; FM Systems has changed this process from weeks to days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Troy Polen of FMS:Workplace

What do you like best about FMS:Workplace?

What I like best about this software is that it can be programmed/customized in as many ways as you can imagine. I integrated the Move module with digital software so that when moves post in FMS, the employee's name also posts to the nameplate at the corresponding location. Paper, time and resources are re-allocated with this digital integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FMS:Workplace?

What I dislike about FMS Workplace is the time and coordination involved when resolving system issues. Coordination usually occurs with a technical person from FMS and someone from Information Technology on the client-side. Getting these two groups together takes quite a bit of effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FMS:Workplace:

My recommendation is to list everything that you want to achieve by using FMS. Ensure that the project timeline and requirements can be met in order to set expectations early on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FMS:Workplace solving and how is that benefiting you?

With FMS Workplace, our Facilities team can easily manage work orders, floor plans, and personnel movement. The automatic email notifications keep our end users updated and reduces the number of emails received for status updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Troy Polen of FMS:Workplace

Hi! We are thrilled to have you as part of the FM:Systems family! Thank you for sharing your experience with our Move module and the positive review. We look forward to your continued partnership and collaboration.

What do you like best about FMS:Workplace?

The product is capable of capturing a host of mission-critical space data and producing value-added reports in a user-friendly platform. Comparably speaking, the software meets our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FMS:Workplace?

In the graphic mode, sometimes the assigned, solid hatch colors to spaces are very similar to adjoining spaces. If additional hatch patterns (horizontal lines, vertical lines) were an option, this would improve the floor plan's appearance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FMS:Workplace:

Our level of success with this product has served our spatial and data reporting needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FMS:Workplace solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're exploring opportunities to customize space reports. This will allow us to provide decision-makers with enhanced data and information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FMS:Workplace?

I worked as an Admin dispatching work orders and really liked the Group Editing function, which allowed me to assign multiple WOs to the same unit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FMS:Workplace?

I would say the design for interaction? The page could look nicer and more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FMS:Workplace solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned, FIMs helped me with work orders dispatch. And now I am a user of FIMs submitting work orders. It's an effective tool for communications between the Facilities and their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi there! We are thrilled that you are having a great experience leveraging the work order portion of our product! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us and the positive review. It means the world to our entire team! We look forward to the continued partnership and collaboration.
