Integrates seamlessly, is simple to install, and has responsive internal technical support
It comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. There is no problem with scalability or thresholds. It holds up. We have slightly more than 3,000 users globally. The users are everywhere spanning from sales, product development, cost management, professional services, support, and value management are all covered. In my opinion, it's a 100% uptake. There is no second solution. If you don't utilize it you can't do your job.

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.

Cons

"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"​Maximo is a big system, so the initial setup is complex."
"I feel that the interface is a little too complicated with a large number of fields to enter."
"From that perspective, the UI is quite old-fashioned, and that would be one of my main concerns."
"Many improvements are needed in the customer support service department because of delays in response, which are very costly."
"The pricing model of the solution has room for improvement as well as the after-sales support."
"Because of their competitiveness and their enterprise nature, the small companies are unable to do it."
"IBM Maximo can improve the financial support and financial application, to make it more similar to an ERP as opposed to an EAM. Overall they can improve the financial processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to what I've heard and understood, it's on the pricey side."
"​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.​"
"I do not know about the price of the solution. However, this has been an expensive project overall."

"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."
