What people complain about in Aviation MRO

• MRO software too hard to learn and customize — 6 complaints across 3 products, 3 ideasUsers across multiple MRO products describe the same wall: the systems are powerful but take months to master, with one complaint noting that 'extensive manual reading is required' just to operate them. Customization requires technical expertise that most maintenance teams don't have in-house, and new hires hit a steep learning curve that directly slows down productive work during implementation and onboarding.
• Slow, freezing MRO software during daily use — 4 complaints across 4 products, 3 ideasAcross multiple MRO systems, technicians and ops staff hit freezes, multi-second page loads, and full application hangs when doing basic tasks. One product requires downgrading from a 64-bit to 32-bit OS just to run acceptably. Another logs users out at random, wiping whatever they were working on. The common thread: legacy codebases that can't handle concurrent workloads, and vendors with no real incentive to rewrite core architecture when airlines are locked in by certification and data dependencies.
