Featured Reviews

Jose Pedro Muñoz - PeerSpot reviewer
A very strong and powerful tool in the market preferred by a variety of industries
I rate the technical support a seven out of ten. Three levels of support in IBM. The first one is a fixed level, while levels two and three are very good. Here, level one is not very good, as it takes time to go from level one to level two and from level two to level three. So, level one is of low capacity.
Nadun Gamage - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We can manage, organize, and track incidents, claims, jobs, tasks, preventive and corrective maintenance, locations, and assets."
"Preventive maintenance management."
"The Preventive Maintenance feature, especially in its inspection routines and KPI abilities, is valuable."
"We were able to scale perfectly.​"
"The most valuable feature is the ability to correct maintenance."
"There are not many enterprise asset management systems on the market and not many that have the categories that IBM Maximo has."
"Work order management and scalability enables the businesses' needs to be met."
"​Maximo is very stable. We really do not have problem with stability.​"
"The whole product is important and valuable to us."
 

Cons

"The standard reports that shipped with the package need to be enriched with more advanced reports, especially for the Inventory Management sections."
"Although you can create notifications with Maximo, the configuration and options could be improved."
"The initial setup was complex, because it is a complex product."
"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."
"There are always ways to improve and make things better."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"This solution could improve by integrating or embedding finances, charts of accounts, and invoicing."
"The product is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Where available, concurrent licenses can be more cost efficient and provide more flexibility."
"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"​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."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"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."
"$USD700 per agent user."
"IBM Maximo offers a licensing application, and you have to comply with the license."
"The tool is very expensive."
