Featured Reviews

Antony Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Java Software Engineer at GPA
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.

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

Pros

"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"We are very thankful to have IBM integrated with our own Legacy cloud-based system."
"It is configurable, where you can add extra fields to screens and to the database."
"Provides great flexibility."
"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."
"Has a powerful audit combination that helps achieve high accuracy."
"If it's not the best EAM product, it is one of the best out there."
"IBM Maximo has increased our efficiency by 65%."
"The whole product is important and valuable to us."
 

Cons

"You can get lost using the application"
"The solution is expensive and is quite difficult within this space."
"It's quite reliable, but new versions often are not too stable. They bring in enhancements but they break other stuff."
"IBM Maximo can be improved by providing developers with more documentation."
"It could use some alignment regarding some standards and the tracking of the IT assets. Even though they have all of the information (i.e. where are the assets, who owns the asset, etc.), they were not mapping it to different cyber standards."
"Revision management of file attachments."
"It's not user-friendly. It could use shortcuts for frequently requested services."
"The interface is not very easy or user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"The product is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"IBM Maximo offers a licensing application, and you have to comply with the license."
"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 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 the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"Where available, concurrent licenses can be more cost efficient and provide more flexibility."
"The tool is very expensive."
