AssetCloud Reviews

Pros

Through its Cloud functionalities its very simple tracking all the Construction projects Assets and the ability to manage event through AssetCloud is incredible.Helpful on easy allocation of Assets and the employees data management and expense tracking using AssetCloud is perfect.

Cons

Effective and easy on Cloud implementation and its training curve is very friendly and myself i got nothing to dislike.

Pros

AssetCloud is regularly updated and I've seen bugs that I've experienced getting fixed, as well as useful new features being implemented over the last couple years.
Setting up AssetCloud was very simple as I was able to batch import assets from a previous database very quickly, and adding custom fields specific to my use case was easy.
Technical support is very good. I've raised tickets regarding complex things I'm trying to do with the report designer and I've received extremely helpful guidance. Responses to tickets regarding use of the API has also been very helpful as the API documentation isn't ideal for someone without a lot of experience with API queries.

Cons

The reporting system has a very steep learning curve, and it took me months of intermittent use before I was comfortable with it. The report designer's non-functioning undo function is still maybe my greatest complaint with AssetCloud as a whole.
As stated above, the API documentation could be a bit more detailed in its implementation guidance.

Reasons for Choosing AssetCloud

Reasons for Switching to AssetCloud

Pros

1) It let you use RFID technology to track your assets which is extraordinary and unique feature. With this technology you can scan multiple tags at once and save your big time. You don't have to scan asset barcode individually.
2) It also offers you amazing feature of geolocation tracking of your assets.
3) It helps you streamline your asset tracking process.

Cons

We never experienced any problem with AssetCloud so far.

Pros

Creating a label within the software is a nice feature and makes that function easy. The previous Enterprise version required a label software to generate labels making it rather laborious. Customer service is mostly helpful although there were a few instances a resolution could not be resolved either by the lack of knowledge of the rep or the limitation of the software.

Cons

Integration of my 3G database from Enterprise to Cloud was a nightmare and took months to resolve. Although the software is easy to use once the user becomes familiar with its functionality, it is not user friendly and takes a significant amount of time to navigate the program. A training session either on-site or by virtual meeting would be helpful. Some of the available video were helpful, but limited. Once the user becomes familiar with the software, portions are easily navigable, other functions are not attainable. One function I'd like to see improved is the ability to pull expiration dates of assets between a select subset of days. Currently, to pull a select range of expiration dates (e.g. 08/01/21 - 08/14/21), I have to search for the year 2021, then scroll and select assets within that date range.

Pros

The thing I like the most about AssetCloud is the reports. I can easily generate reports for all items received, destroyed, moved, checked in, checked out, or customized fields like damaged over any given period of time.

Cons

The only con I can think of, is there is a bit of a learning curve. Once you figure out all the fields and options you can tie together it is a really comprehensive asset management program.

Pros

It is a user friendly interface and pretty intuitive menus. The Asset tracking is good and we like the barcode features using the handheld devices.

Cons

The depreciation functionality seems to have been an afterthought. Some basic questions we raised during implementation and initial training make it clear the trainer (and developers) did not have a great grasp on the accounting needs around depreciation. Our own company policies did not allow for us to use their cloud version, and that has led to some frustrations where the functionality was limited with on-prem

Pros

This was the best choice for our area since it was a one time payment and after that our department could pay for Wasp support on a yearly basis when needed. Assetcloud is also easy to use to manage check in and check out transactions of multiple assets.

Cons

Having to do the installation on my own equipment. You must find a machine that will be able to handle the Assetcloud OP software.

Reasons for Switching to AssetCloud

Pros

What I like most about AssetCloud is the ability to easily access all our asset information in the cloud, regardless of where we are. This allows us to easily and quickly update asset information while on-site at our locations rather than waiting (and forgetting) once we get back to our central office.

Cons

The Quick Search feature, allowing you to quickly search all assets, only searches a minimal number of pre-set columns. Unfortunately for us, the columns it searches are not the ones we typically need to search against.

Pros

Ease of use, and training videos. The ability to granulate the reports.

Cons

Some note functions did not transfer over so we lost critical information such as the ability to write in note section critical information such as admin password and login information.

Pros

The ability to print custom asset tags with barcodes.

Cons

Some of the customization features are as robust as I had hoped.

Pros

We use AssetCloud to track thousands of assets spread all over the company. These assets are used for sales demonstrations, tech support, and also rentals. The check-out and check-in functions make it simple to move items and keep track of where they are, and when they're due to be returned. We also use the depreciation utility to calculate depreciation each month, and track current book value.

Cons

In a previous version, we used the "parent/child" asset relationship tool. It was only recently added back to the AssetCloud version. I would like to have the view option to see "Top level assets only" in the main list views.
Regarding initial set up, it takes time and patience to upload an existing database. Care must be taken to have upload files properly formatted and uploaded in the correct order. But that's the world of relational databases!

Pros

I'm a user of Asset Cloud and have been using it for 1 year. What I like about the software is it never have lags nor halts during operation. Scanning into the software is a breeze for a non IT background like me. I use Asset Cloud everyday during the operation of In & Out of client's storage boxes. I can easily track them of their status thru the web system. I integrate the software into my Honeywell scanner and it just works fine. By tracking 20 - 30,000 barcodes and hundreds of location. Asset Cloud will not fail you. Some feature I like is the Audit feature where you can check the assets that are stored in that particular location. And if you move a stack of asset to that location, you can just easily scan them in during audit and their original location will be over written.

Cons

Some cons are like during the New Asset add on, it keep popping up the notice if I would like to search across entire asset or not, and I have to click yes/no everytime I scan a barcode in. I think, if it can be improved to click Yes, and to tick dont ask me again will be a good feature.

Pros

Report Extraction & Check In & Check Out

Cons

Receipts and forms - They need to be tailored to suit business requirements and also integrate company details. These also need to be shared/made available with other users easily.

Support - Support services by 3rd party vendors need to be consistent. At times, we have to wait for 3rd party to contact WASP in America to get solutions to our problems.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

This software is easy to set up, easy to use and all around a really nice solution. We had some problems integrating the spreadsheet this product ultimately replaced. After several failed attempts, we decided to start from scratch. Since that time, it has really been trouble free. There are a good amount of resources available online to work through any issues or have a feature you just want to learn more about.

Cons

There are a couple of features of the product I don't care for. The "Quick Search" feature is more of a pain than a convenience. It ultimately does not search for what I need it to and then clearing the text box is flawed. I just avoid it and we get along just fine. The second feature I have issues with is once a new asset has been entered, the new item number is only shown for a few seconds and then disappears. Annoying, but I have learned to make note of it before it goes away.

Pros

The software is easy to use, managed in the cloud, updated, easy on the eyes in the web portal. This software allows for some customization which has allowed our organization to use the software better and more than anticipated.

Cons

The software can be overwhelming at first. There is a lot on the original landing page. Here it seems to just be completely in your face. It takes a bit of adjusting to but a simplified "Dashboard" might be an easier landing page when you first sign in.

Pros

The feature that we like the most is the import tool. It was great to see new additions as to what we can mass import. I believe the templates are self explanatory and easy to fill.

Cons

My only concern is when uploading the check-in template because sometimes we received the success screen but in the end some of the devices are not being checked in. This issue happened several times and often when I do mass check in, I. have to go back and make sure everything is correct.

Pros

It is easy to use once you learn where all of the items are. The reporting ability is decent and simple to use with the canned reports.

Cons

The Mass Update options are limited and having to check items in to move and then check back out when a custodian is moving from jobsite to jobsite. The default labels also do not work well in the environment of mechanical maintenance where grease and chemicals are used.

Pros

It is a most advanced software than other traditional asset tracking software.

It helps you to track your assets easily.

It's unique interface provides you real-time insight for your assets and their location.

It's most unique part is that you can use Hand Held Terminal and RFID for quick and accurate asset racking.

Cons

We never faced any difficulties with Assetcloud so far.

Pros

One of the best things about Wasp AssetCloud is the asset tracking it provides along with basic asset management capabilities. Also, it has 100% compatibility with hardware and tags which I like very much. The customer support team is also very much helpful and knowledgeable.

Cons

I did not have any bad experience with AssetCloud so far. All the features are very good and it solves all our purposes.

Pros

Maintenance schedule tracking & report offerings

Cons

Software can be finicky when it comes to searches... must clear previous query. Not very intuitive to use.

Pros

It is one of the amazing and great solution to track your assets.
It's advanced asset tracking feature let you track your assets faster than manual asset tracking.
It not only helps you to track asset but also helps you to keep track of asset maintenance.

Cons

Nothing is there to dislike AssetCloud as it is fulfilling all the requirements of modern asset tracking.

Pros

Does everything we require of it, functionality-wise.

Cons

Clunky feeling, have to go through multiple windows to do some simple tasks like checking out. Should be more seamless.

Pros

Being able to access our warehouse inventory on the go.

Cons

Some times it does not boot up correctly or wont let me log on

Pros

The device to read the asset tags and other bar codes, together with the possibility of using an API.

Cons

The documentation for the API and the failure on listing changes on the devices' info when on a grid.

Pros

You can start tracking assets in 15 minutes, easy to deploy and setup. Having mobile apps is a huge help. Very solid report system.

Cons

Having so many features and being able to change the whole system to whatever you want can be scary if you want to do it in one day.
