Integrates seamlessly, is simple to install, and has responsive internal technical support
It comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. There is no problem with scalability or thresholds. It holds up. We have slightly more than 3,000 users globally. The users are everywhere spanning from sales, product development, cost management, professional services, support, and value management are all covered. In my opinion, it's a 100% uptake. There is no second solution. If you don't utilize it you can't do your job.
Omar Samy - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved resource management and streamlined operations enhance organizational efficiency
IBM Maximo could be improved if they added a comprehensive finance module, as that would make it a more complete standalone application. Currently, if you need specific finance software, you need to purchase something such as SAP and integrate it with IBM Maximo. Coverage in this area would help reduce dependency on additional software. Regarding finance features, I would want to see payment capabilities added to IBM Maximo, particularly for factories making payments with providers and collections. This feature isn't adequately covered in IBM Maximo. Additionally, enhanced finance reporting and managing GL would be beneficial. IBM Maximo covers GL but only at a surface level. It doesn't provide deep account analysis.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface, which is extremely simple and very modern compared to other similar software available."
"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"Preventive maintenance management."
"We were able to scale perfectly.​"
"We were doing all kinds of paperwork for every type of order and to maintain our assets but with the use of the IBM Maximo application, we can automate a lot of the processes."
"The Preventive Maintenance feature, especially in its inspection routines and KPI abilities, is valuable."
"The ability to configure and integrate it with other solutions for ERP."
"The most valuable features of IBM Maximo are the overall power and interface, and there are a lot of different modules that we use that are helpful. Additionally, it's an integrated solution and it has a lot of capabilities."
"IBM Maximo is a very strong and powerful tool in the market…Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"IBM is a big company and they have a lot of products. Level One, the first level of tech support, is the one that is used to stop the tsunami. For everyone, it's always work to get past that."
"The solution is not stable. We can have one day when it is stable and another day it is not. Sometimes it crashes or becomes very slow, and there are times we are not even able to download all the databases. Without the database, we cannot work on that application. These are the small glitches, and stability issues we are facing."
"This solution could improve by integrating or embedding finances, charts of accounts, and invoicing."
"There are always ways to improve and make things better."
"The interface is not very easy or user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"I feel that the interface is a little too complicated with a large number of fields to enter."
"Revision management of file attachments."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to what I've heard and understood, it's on the pricey side."
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"IBM has changed the licensing policy. As I understand now, they are going from a complex way of licensing to a more simple way of licensing."
"​Explore internal processes in order to evaluate the correct number of users in each Maximo module, then evaluate the different offers of pricing and licensing.​"
"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"Where available, concurrent licenses can be more cost efficient and provide more flexibility."
"$USD700 per agent user."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
