Asset tracking has improved and predictive maintenance supports long-term work management
I think there could be a bit more focus on the UI components. IBM Maximo has had the same UI for many years, and it hasn't really changed. From that perspective, the UI is quite old-fashioned, and that would be one of my main concerns. Additionally, some standard processes would be handy. IBM Maximo is very flexible, but it would be beneficial if they had some standard processes that you could adopt quite easily without having to configure everything yourself. Those would be my two key points.

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 features are the ability to create work orders and preventative maintenance."
"We can manage, organize, and track incidents, claims, jobs, tasks, preventive and corrective maintenance, locations, and assets."
"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."
"We are very thankful to have IBM integrated with our own Legacy cloud-based system"
"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 incident management feature is good because it allows you to keep track of and classify issues."
"The large range of configurability of the product is great, since everyone has a different way of doing things."
"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 documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most demonstrable feature is the asset creation form, which is quite informative."
 

Cons

"The standard reports that shipped with the package need to be enriched with more advanced reports, especially for the Inventory Management sections."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"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 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."
"I feel that the interface is a little too complicated with a large number of fields to enter."
"You can get lost using the application"
"Initial setup is a longer process because Maximo is bigger and has more processes."
"Although you can create notifications with Maximo, the configuration and options could be improved."
"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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"$USD700 per agent user."
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"The product is not expensive."
