Maximo Team lead at Masters United
Improved resource management and streamlined operations enhance organizational efficiency
IBM Maximo could be improved if they added a comprehensive finance module, as that would make it a more complete standalone application. Currently, if you need specific finance software, you need to purchase something such as SAP and integrate it with IBM Maximo. Coverage in this area would help reduce dependency on additional software. Regarding finance features, I would want to see payment capabilities added to IBM Maximo, particularly for factories making payments with providers and collections. This feature isn't adequately covered in IBM Maximo. Additionally, enhanced finance reporting and managing GL would be beneficial. IBM Maximo covers GL but only at a surface level. It doesn't provide deep account analysis.

Has supported tracking asset lifecycles with cost and maintenance visibility
The best feature is the ability to track the entire lifecycle from when the asset enters your organization until disposal. The entire lifecycle can be captured, including costs, depreciation, and any maintenance performed on the asset. All these costs can be tracked, which is the beauty of it. The advanced analytics and reporting tools are highly advanced. Because of the advent of AI technology, integrating it with AI will probably add much more value to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Asset Lifecycle Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are not many enterprise asset management systems on the market and not many that have the categories that IBM Maximo has."
"Has a powerful audit combination that helps achieve high accuracy."
"The Preventive Maintenance feature, especially in its inspection routines and KPI abilities, is valuable."
"They have a real strength of tracking the asset itself along with the condition of the asset, the maintenance of the asset and who has access to the asset, etc."
"The most powerful features are the database and integration with CMDB."
"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"Preventive maintenance management."
"Provides great flexibility."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
"The most demonstrable feature is the asset creation form, which is quite informative."
"The product enables us to track our assets."
 

Cons

"Revision management of file attachments."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex, because it is a complex product."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"Although you can create notifications with Maximo, the configuration and options could be improved."
"It's not user-friendly. It could use shortcuts for frequently requested services."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is easy and one is difficult, I rate the setup process a two since it is very complicated."
"The latest version is slow due to the power it requires."
"The product must improve the approval process of asset transfer and disposal."
"The documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
"The solution’s depreciation calculation setup needs to be improved because it is slightly disintegrated."
"The UI and UX need severe improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"​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.​"
"Where available, concurrent licenses can be more cost efficient and provide more flexibility."
"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 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."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"$USD700 per agent user."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"The product is not expensive."
