Featured Reviews

Omar Samy - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
RajneeshThamke - PeerSpot reviewer
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."
"We were doing all kinds of paperwork for every type of order and to maintain our assets but with the use of the IBM Maximo application, we can automate a lot of the processes."
"It can be particularly useful for power line operations, enabling linemen in the field to gather information and send it across the country as well as different parts of the world."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create work orders and preventative maintenance."
"IBM Maximo is the best software for assets management."
"IBM Maximo is a very strong and powerful tool in the market…Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to correct maintenance."
"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"The product enables us to track our assets."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most demonstrable feature is the asset creation form, which is quite informative."
"The documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
 

Cons

"I feel that the interface is a little too complicated with a large number of fields to enter."
"Coding can be complex when customization is required."
"Revision management of file attachments."
"It's quite reliable, but new versions often are not too stable. They bring in enhancements but they break other stuff."
"The initial setup was complex, because it is a complex product."
"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."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"It's not user-friendly. It could use shortcuts for frequently requested services."
"The solution’s depreciation calculation setup needs to be improved because it is slightly disintegrated."
"The UI and UX need severe improvements."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"$USD700 per agent user."
"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"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 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."
"IBM Maximo offers a licensing application, and you have to comply with the license."
"​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."
"The product is not expensive."
