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.

Integrated planning has improved document automation but reporting and user experience still need work
There are areas where Infor CloudSuite can improve. I have touched on the pros and key strengths of Infor CloudSuite, but end-user feedback indicates that there are several areas where the user experience can improve. For instance, when it comes to reporting, it comes with a very limited number of reports, and the standard reports are clunky, requiring a technical resource or developer to enhance or make them presentable. Another area is user experience; it takes several clicks to get to the information, and the user interface isn't that intuitive. Compared to other solutions, such as top-tier options such as Oracle or SAP, this stands out as an area needing improvement. When it comes to integration, Infor CloudSuite does offer a great deal of flexibility. It comes with APIs, so you can integrate with any third-party systems you may use. On that front, it's sufficient; however, it does require some specialized resources, as it's not a layman's job, and developers need to help with the integration. This is generally the case for any ERP. The user interface could indeed be better, and there is a steep learning curve for users; it takes time for them to get accustomed to Infor CloudSuite's interface and forms. However, once users adapt, it becomes easier and smoother to navigate. There are great features associated with Infor CloudSuite, such as DataViews and Birst as a business intelligence tool, which can be integrated with the basic product. Implementing Birst isn't plug-and-play; it requires a team of technical resources to execute. Additionally, there is a feature that allows integration with Excel, which can be installed by your IT team.

The product is not user-friendly, and it is very expensive, though it is highly stable
I rate the ease of initial setup a five out of ten. It's not so difficult to set up and configure the product, but it is not entirely easy. We need a set of experienced people to deploy the solution. However, people with experience in Oracle are not difficult to find.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Flexibility is one of the key components, along with ease of use."
"The incident management feature is good because it allows you to keep track of and classify issues."
"The most powerful features are the database and integration with CMDB."
"IBM Maximo has increased our efficiency by 65%."
"They have a real strength of tracking the asset itself along with the condition of the asset, the maintenance of the asset and who has access to the asset, etc."
"There are not many enterprise asset management systems on the market and not many that have the categories that IBM Maximo has."
"The large range of configurability of the product is great, since everyone has a different way of doing things."
"Work order management and scalability enables the businesses' needs to be met."
"It offers a facility to get data quickly."
"Mainly, we pushed back a $7M plant expansion because we were able to increase throughput with our existing facility."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"It is a scalable solution."
"If you are working in the food and beverage industry, I would say it's a perfect solution."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"The whole product is important and valuable to us."
 

Cons

"It's quite reliable, but new versions often are not too stable. They bring in enhancements but they break other stuff."
"Areas for improvement would be the user interface and support for Arabic. They could also be more customer-oriented."
"Inventory management, especially: item cards – I need to be able to track item balance and history back to a given date; inventory financial reports need a lot of enhancement; consignment stock management has an issue – raised with the vendor."
"IBM Maximo can be improved by providing developers with more documentation."
"The pricing model of the solution has room for improvement as well as the after-sales support."
"IBM Maximo can be improved because the user interface is not as modern as newer SaaS tools, and implementation and configuration can be time-consuming."
"The interface is not very easy or user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"IBM Maximo is similar to an ARP. Because it's so massive, you can easily get lost using the application."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"The disadvantages of Infor CloudSuite are related to Absence Management. There are too many setups for users to establish absence plans, formulas, and calculations."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"The price of the solution is not good."
"Customer Service: Infor is impossible, but if you have a good reseller partner, they can handle just about any issues."
"Infor OS is powerful, but the documentation is terrible."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"The product is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"$USD700 per agent user."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"​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.​"
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high, I rate the pricing a nine. The price is very high."
"Where available, concurrent licenses can be more cost efficient and provide more flexibility."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The tool is very expensive."
