Myth 1: CMMS Software Is Too Expensive

Many assume CMMS platforms are built only for large enterprises with big budgets. But modern systems like VistrianMMS are designed to scale. With flexible pricing, customizable modules, and subscription options, teams pay only for what they use.

Myth 2: CMMS Is Hard to Use

Today’s CMMS platforms are built with intuitive dashboards and real-time alerts that keep technicians and managers in sync.

With the right CMMS technicians can access work orders, checklists, and maintenance logs on one screen, eliminating the need for spreadsheets or clipboards.
