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.

Asset management has become streamlined and decision-making is now driven by lifecycle data
The best features IBM Maximo offers are that it is very simple to deploy on OpenShift using Ansible playbooks. It also has excellent support for integration, is simple to configure, and the asset register is very straightforward. Work management and managing inventory are seamless. In terms of integration support, I have used preventive maintenance, work generation, accurate work execution planning, tracking actuals, and I can easily integrate with other tools and systems. IBM Maximo Suite gives me a single place where service cycles are standardized and tied to compliance. IBM Maximo has positively impacted my organization as it has been a very useful tool. It reduced human error by moving away from pen and paper-based scheduling. It saved cost by minimizing unexpected downtime of assets, with approximately 50% of time being saved. We have also reduced overwork among staff by removing redundant information and smoothing task flows. It helps us scale our team without micromanaging small issues.

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."
"When we integrated the Maximo DB with the BI tool, we were able to track and manage the inventory levels in a much more controllable way, and reduced the inventory levels significantly within one year."
"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."
"We have fully used Maximo for maintenance and inventory and purchasing management to manage cement factory operations and maintenance for more than 11 years."
"The large range of configurability of the product is great, since everyone has a different way of doing things."
"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, and additionally, it's an integrated solution and it has a lot of capabilities."
"There are not many enterprise asset management systems on the market and not many that have the categories that IBM Maximo has."
"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"The most powerful features are the database and integration with CMDB."
 

Cons

"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"The standard reports that shipped with the package need to be enriched with more advanced reports, especially for the Inventory Management sections."
"The solution is expensive and is quite difficult within this space."
"Revision management of file attachments."
"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 initial setup was complex, because it is a complex product."
"​Maximo is a big system, so the initial setup is complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to what I've heard and understood, it's on the pricey side."
"Where available, concurrent licenses can be more cost efficient and provide more flexibility."
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."

"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
