Featured Reviews

Jose Pedro Muñoz - PeerSpot reviewer
A very strong and powerful tool in the market preferred by a variety of industries
I rate the technical support a seven out of ten. Three levels of support in IBM. The first one is a fixed level, while levels two and three are very good. Here, level one is not very good, as it takes time to go from level one to level two and from level two to level three. So, level one is of low capacity.

"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."

Cons

"The latest version is slow due to the power it requires."

"Vendor management needs enhancement."
"It's not user-friendly. It could use shortcuts for frequently requested services."
"​Maximo is a big system, so the initial setup is complex."
"The initial setup was complex, because it is a complex product."
"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 solution’s depreciation calculation setup needs to be improved because it is slightly disintegrated."

"IBM Maximo offers a licensing application, and you have to comply with the license."
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
