Infraspeak

4.7Capterra

Infraspeak is the collaborative FM platform that connects people, processes, and data across your multi-site operation.

Prós

Strong UK customer references in Retail, FM providers, and hospitality
Infraspeak Network connects clients, suppliers and subcontractors in one shared space
AI-powered predictive maintenance and workflow automation
Covers full FM scope, not just maintenance ticketing
Modular - teams can start focused and expand

Contras

There is a learning curve for teams with no prior CAFM experience (noted on Capterra)
No free tier. Teams in need of a trial before commitment must get in contact.
See how Infraspeak compares directly to MaintainX visit the Infraspeak vs MaintainX comparison page.

Founded in Porto in 2015 and trusted by over 1,700 companies globally - including Leroy Merlin, Elecnor and Samsic - Infraspeak has built its platform around the premise that fragmented FM systems create the silos and blind spots that cost organisations most. Infraspeak Gear AI adds predictive intelligence and workflow automation on top of the core platform.

Where MaintainX focuses on frontline technician productivity, Infraspeak focuses on whole-operation visibility. Work orders, preventive maintenance, compliance, procurement, inventory, contractor management, and analytics all sit within one ecosystem rather than as bolt-on integrations.

Recursos principais

Infraspeak Network: clients, suppliers and subcontractors work in one shared space — assets, planned jobs and work orders stay in sync on both sides
Work order management with mobile-first interfaces for technicians (Infraspeak Next app)
Preventive maintenance on schedule, predictive maintenance from the data you already have — with IoT sensors as an option, never a requirement
Compliance management: checklists, inspections, audit trails, SLA monitoring
Procurement and inventory management with supplier performance tracking
Real-time analytics and configurable dashboards
NFC and QR code asset tagging for field teams
Infraspeak Gear AI for predictive FM and workflow automation

Preços

Pricing is custom and module-based, with costs determined by organisation size, number of users, and selected modules. This is consistent with most CAFM platforms at this level of capability. Interested teams should request a demo to receive a proposal. Based on third-party review data, Infraspeak's pricing model is described as more competitive than legacy CAFM alternatives.

MRI Evolution

4.2Capterra

NHS, healthcare and higher education organisations that need space and property management in the same system as maintenance, and can invest in a structured implementation project.

Prós

CAFM and IWMS capability
NHS, healthcare and higher education customer base
Mobile workforce apps for field teams
Space and move management
SLA and contract management

Contras

Workflow customisation requires unlock codes from MRI, creating delays for time-sensitive changes (noted on Capterra)
Data querying and reporting interface described as unintuitive by some users
Documentation and user help noted as weak by some reviewers
Enterprise-level pricing and implementation timeline, not suitable for teams needing rapid deployment
Configuration process can be time-consuming and error-prone without training

MRI Evolution is an IWMS/CAFM platform from MRI Software, which expanded in the UK through the acquisition of FSI and Concept. It is used mainly in healthcare (NHS) and higher education, and large estates.

MRI Evolution is better suited to FM directors managing complex property portfolios across hundreds of thousands of square feet than to field-led maintenance teams. Its scope includes helpdesk, PPM, asset management, space and move management, contract management, invoicing, SLA management, BIM integration, IoT, and mobile workforce apps.

Recursos principais

Full CAFM and IWMS capability - helpdesk, PPM, asset management, space management, contracts
Mobile workforce apps and customer engagement apps
Client contract management and invoicing
BIM and IoT integration
SLA management and vendor compliance

Preços

MRI Evolution pricing is custom and requires direct engagement with the MRI sales team. It is positioned as an enterprise platform with a price point to match. Smaller organisations may find the full capability set (and its associated cost) more than they require. There is no public pricing page or free tier.

#3 · Alternative

Planon

4.4Capterra

Large organisations managing complex corporate real estate portfolios where FM directors need space planning, lease management, and sustainability management under one platform, and where a 12-18 month implementation is acceptable.

Prós

IWMS functionality for space management, lease administration, and sustainability
IFRS 16 lease accounting
ESG and energy modules for compliance-heavy organisations
Configurable for complex organisational workflows
Real estate portfolio management

Contras

Implementation typically runs 9-18 months and requires certified implementation partners
Steep learning curve for administrators and power users
High total cost of ownership. Online pricing data places it out of reach for most FM teams
Not built for manufacturing floor maintenance or field service technicians - mobile UX reflects IWMS complexity rather than field usability
Complexity can exceed what many UK FM teams need

Planon is an IWMS provider founded in the Netherlands in 1982. The platform covers the relationship between an organisation and its physical space: maintenance, space management, lease accounting, sustainability, energy management, and real estate portfolio management.

Planon is best understood as a platform for FM directors and corporate real estate teams, not for field maintenance technicians. The implementation weight, configuration complexity, and cost profile make it most appropriate for organisations with 1,000+ employees managing complex multi-site portfolios where the full IWMS investment is justified.

Recursos principais

Full IWMS: space and workplace management, lease accounting, asset and maintenance management
Sustainability and energy management modules with carbon tracking
Smart building technology integration
Pre-configured workflows
Reporting and analytics
Compliance capabilities including IFRS 16 lease accounting

Preços

Planon does not provide pricing details. Online costs from third party sources reflect the enterprise scope of the platform only, so have not been included for fairness. Planon will need to be contacted for a quote directly in order to ascertain accurate costs. Implementations typically require specialist Planon-certified partners and run 9 to 18 months. There is no free tier, no self-serve trial, and pricing varies substantially based on modules selected and user count.

#4 · Alternative

IBM Maximo

4.4G2

Asset-intensive organisations in utilities, energy, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, or heavy manufacturing that manage critical regulated infrastructure and need full EAM. Not recommended for standard commercial FM teams.

Prós

Asset lifecycle management for regulated, asset-intensive industries
Watsonx AI and IoT integration for predictive and condition-based maintenance
Handles regulatory compliance documentation directly: no bolt-on required for NERC CIP, API standards
Configurable for complex, bespoke workflows
Used for national infrastructure

Contras

G2 reviewers consistently cite cost and initial setup complexity as the most significant challenges
UI is dated and requires dedicated training, not intuitive for new users
Implementation consulting fees frequently exceed the software licence cost
Designed for industrial EAM, not optimised for commercial FM, space management, or soft services
The SaaS migration adds subscription complexity for organisations familiar with the legacy on-premise model

IBM Maximo is used to manage critical infrastructure: power grids, oil refineries, water treatment, nuclear facilities and transportation networks. It is not a standard CMMS: it is an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system that manages the complete asset lifecycle, from procurement and commissioning through to decommissioning. Watsonx AI integration adds predictive and condition-based maintenance capabilities.

For facilities management teams in asset-intensive sectors such as utilities, energy, pharmaceuticals and heavy manufacturing, Maximo is designed for those requirements. For standard commercial FM teams, however, it is likely over-specified and over-priced.

Recursos principais

Full EAM: asset lifecycle management from procurement to decommissioning
Preventive and predictive maintenance with Watsonx AI and IoT sensor integration
Regulatory compliance documentation for regulated industries (NERC CIP, API 510/570)
Work order, inventory, and procurement management
Multi-site, multi-asset class management at enterprise scale
SaaS deployment (Maximo Application Suite) or self-managed

Preços

Maximo Application Suite pricing starts at approximately $3,315.15 per month for the Essentials tier and starts at $7,911.84 per month for the Standard SaaS plan covering all core modules. Implementation is reported to routinely add significant additional costs in consulting fees for a mid-size deployment, with timelines of 12-18 months. All plans require a minimum 12-month contract.

#5 · Alternative

Facilio

4.4G2

Commercial real estate and healthcare organisations whose primary requirement is IoT and energy data on top of existing building systems, and that prefer portfolio-based pricing to per-user billing.

Prós

Vendor-claimed deployment of 2-6 weeks
Pricing by portfolio size and site count rather than per user
IoT connectivity across existing BMS and building systems
AI agents for invoice validation and workflow automation
Energy and sustainability data alongside maintenance

Contras

Very limited public review volume on G2 and Capterra - makes independent validation difficult
Platform is English-language only (at time of writing)
Less established brand recognition in the UK than MRI or Planon
Deep IoT and AI capabilities may exceed the immediate needs of teams looking for straightforward work order management
Pricing transparency requires direct engagement with the sales team

Facilio is a cloud-native connected CMMS platform used in commercial real estate, healthcare, and educational institutions across the Middle East, UK, and North America. Its positioning centres on IoT connectivity, low-code configuration, and bringing together maintenance, energy, and sustainability workflows in a single layer on top of existing building systems.

Facilio states that typical deployments take 2 to 6 weeks, without replacing existing building automation systems. It is used across approximately 100 million square feet of space globally.

Recursos principais

Connected CMMS: work orders, PPM, asset management, vendor management
IoT and BMS connectivity across vendor systems
AI agents (including an invoice validation agent) for workflow automation
Low-code configuration for custom workflows
Energy management and sustainability monitoring
Tenant engagement and stakeholder visibility tools
Pricing by portfolio size and site count rather than per user

Preços

Facilio does not publish pricing publicly. Pricing is based on portfolio size and site count rather than per user. Interested teams should contact Facilio directly for a proposal.

Expansive

4.7Capterra

UK leisure and property management teams that want a straightforward CAFM platform without enterprise-scale cost or complexity.

Prós

UK-based platform
Phased implementation, starting with reactive maintenance
Contractor portal
Customisable workflows

Contras

Reporting extracts noted as missing some required fields by at least one reviewer - the new analytics platform is expected to address this
PPM and scheduling side described as more challenging to configure than the reactive maintenance side
Small review volume makes broad independent validation harder
Smaller vendor: less established ecosystem of integrations and implementation partners than Planon, MRI, or Maximo
Not suited to organisations needing deep EAM or full IWMS capability

Expansive is a UK-based cloud CAFM platform. It is newer and smaller than the enterprise players on this list, with customers among UK leisure and property management organisations.

Expansive positions itself on simplicity. The platform covers work order management, PPM scheduling, asset lifecycle tracking, contractor management, KPI reporting, and compliance documentation.

Recursos principais

Work order management and a contractor portal
PPM scheduling and asset lifecycle tracking
Compliance and KPI reporting dashboards
Cost management: budgets, spend limits, quote approvals, invoices
Mobile engineer access for field updates
Phased rollout: start with reactive maintenance, add modules over time

Preços

Expansive does not publish pricing publicly. It is aimed at teams looking for a CAFM solution without enterprise-level investment. Interested organisations should request a demo for a proposal.

Infraspeak integrations

For FM teams evaluating alternatives to MaintainX, integration capability is a critical factor. No two FM operations run on the same tech stack, and no pre-built integrations list can promise to match yours. So instead of hoping your systems are on our list, Infraspeak builds the integrations you actually need.
