Who should stay with Hippo CMMS (Eptura)

Stay with Eptura if you need enterprise asset management with integrations and a vendor-run cloud on a yearly contract. Fixora is the single-site CMMS you own outright.

What Fixora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting Hippo CMMS (Eptura).

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Hippo CMMS (Eptura)'s cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Fixora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Hippo CMMS (Eptura).

Is the math actually right?

That's the product. Next-due is leap-safe, timezone-aware date arithmetic plus a usage trigger compared against real meter readings; labor cost is integer cents rounded exactly once; stock consumption cannot go negative under concurrency. The offline test suite counted at the top of this page ships with the code.

Do I need a cron job for PM schedules?

No. Due status — calendar and usage — is computed live on every page view. Nothing to schedule, nothing to break silently.

Will this run on shared hosting?

Yes. PHP 8.1+ with PDO — present on virtually all cPanel/Plesk hosts. MySQL and SQLite are both supported, and a web installer sets it up in about two minutes.

I already run Fixora 1.0 — what happens on upgrade?

Upload the new files and refresh: the database upgrades itself in place on first boot. New tables and columns are added; existing data is never rewritten.
