Featured Reviews

Antony Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Java Software Engineer at GPA
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.

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to correct maintenance."
"The most valuable features of IBM Maximo are the overall power and interface, and there are a lot of different modules that we use that are helpful. Additionally, it's an integrated solution and it has a lot of capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is asset management maintenance as well as asset management overall."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create work orders and preventative maintenance."
"The large range of configurability of the product is great, since everyone has a different way of doing things."
"The incident management feature is good because it allows you to keep track of and classify issues."
"We were able to scale perfectly.​"
"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"The most demonstrable feature is the asset creation form, which is quite informative."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
"The product enables us to track our assets."
 

Cons

"It's quite reliable, but new versions often are not too stable. They bring in enhancements but they break other stuff."
"The pricing model of the solution has room for improvement as well as the after-sales support."
"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 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."
"You can get lost using the application"
"It needs full-service visibility. There are a lot of things that are hard for users to find out. For example, the Service Catalog is not too friendly. You really have to know what you're looking for."
"This solution could improve by integrating or embedding finances, charts of accounts, and invoicing."
"Initial setup is a longer process because Maximo is bigger and has more processes."
"The documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
"The UI and UX need severe improvements."
"The product must improve the approval process of asset transfer and disposal."
"The solution’s depreciation calculation setup needs to be improved because it is slightly disintegrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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