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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface, which is extremely simple and very modern compared to other similar software available."
"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."
"Even if we do not look at the full software and we look at smaller use cases within the software, the ROI is often quite substantial."
"The most powerful features are the database and integration with CMDB."
"For some clients we have up to 89% downtime reduction of equipment that generates over 1.2 million euro growth in revenue because we don't spend that much money on downtime and repair costs."
"Reliable, very configurable, and it's all integrated in the same database."
"We were able to scale perfectly.​"
"The Preventive Maintenance feature, especially in its inspection routines and KPI abilities, is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to correct maintenance."
 

Cons

"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"I feel that the interface is a little too complicated with a large number of fields to enter."
"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."
"IBM Maximo is similar to an ARP. Because it's so massive, you can easily get lost using the application."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"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."
"The pricing model of the solution has room for improvement as well as the after-sales support."
"The latest version is slow due to the power it requires."
"The solution is not stable. We can have one day when it is stable and another day it is not."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to what I've heard and understood, it's on the pricey side."
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"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."
"IBM Maximo offers a licensing application, and you have to comply with the license."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"I do not know about the price of the solution. However, this has been an expensive project overall."
"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"$USD700 per agent user."
