IBM Maximo Valuable Features
Work management, optimization, and maintenance indicators are some of the valuable features of the solution.
View full review »The most valuable aspect is the level of flexibility Maximo provides because it is more code-based and more Java-based, so our development team and support partners are able to customize and relatively easily tailor it to our needs.

There are not many enterprise asset management systems on the market and not many that have the categories that IBM Maximo has. It's a platform that has been here for about 30 years. Currently, the shift to having the ability for customers within the space to move from a legacy structure into a more modern microservice structure that's on the cloud is quite valuable. It gives clients a good journey map to a modern hybrid cloud infrastructure or a little more cloud infrastructure.

Maximo has a powerful audit combination that helps achieve high accuracy. For example, if I need to buy parts for maintenance, it requires procurement and therefore contact with the supplier. All the information is in the system, and that reduces human error in companies where parts are a crucial element and managing stock and costs is key. Maximo also controls maintenance schedules. The solution also has many valuable APIs that are easy to integrate with SAP, Oracle ERP, Scaler and more.

The large range of configurability of the product is great, since everyone has a different way of doing things. I also like the interface mechanisms built into the tool. With these, we can talk to just about any external system.

Maximo is a platform where apps can be created to support special processes. It is configurable, where you can add extra fields to screens and to the database.
With that said, our biggest use of Maximo focuses on work and compliance management, and we have configured Maximo to help us manage our compliance activities. In addition, some pockets of the company utilize Maximo for managing work, failures, inventory, etc. beyond just compliance.
