Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 valuable features are the ability to create work orders and preventative maintenance."
"I like the connectivity and interfaces. In V10, it's easy to modify the interfaces and layouts, but it's becoming more complicated in the cloud. IFS is excellent at asset maintenance and incident management. They have specialized modules for IFS that cover incident and asset management and everything else connected to finance. The reporting in IFS is also easy to use."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications in the latest version are the new user Arena interface. It's from Apps 9, but it brings more flexibility in usage, especially around different devices, such as mobile usage, which doesn't restrict you from using a computer. We are it for the HR side, and it's proving quite good. It has a new modern feel to it similar to a standard cloud application which enhances the user experience."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten since it is an extremely scalable solution that can be used for various use cases with thousands of users."
"IFS Applications' best feature is the user-friendly interface that has a .NET Framework application in the front end and an Oracle database and WebLogic middleware."

"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"Revision management of file attachments."
"It's not user-friendly. It could use shortcuts for frequently requested services."
"The solution is not stable. We can have one day when it is stable and another day it is not. Sometimes it crashes or becomes very slow, and there are times we are not even able to download all the databases. Without the database, we cannot work on that application. These are the small glitches, and stability issues we are facing."
"The latest version is slow due to the power it requires."
"Maximo is a big system, so the initial setup is complex."
"The pricing model of the solution has room for improvement as well as the after-sales support."
"Although you can create notifications with Maximo, the configuration and options could be improved."
