Asset workflows have become highly customizable and have delivered significant downtime savings
IBM Maximo can be improved by providing developers with more documentation. I think IBM lacks a lot of documentation and hopefully the community who uses IBM Maximo can help if other developers have questions, but we really need official documentation because what is available on the internet is not official and we don't have strong documentation from IBM. I would also note that around usability, we see some lack of real custom needs in the applications of IBM Maximo Mobile. For example, in applications such as inspections, we cannot really sort by specific field and the search or filtering methods are not very clear, making it difficult to easily find what we are looking for.

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

Pros

"Reliable, very configurable, and it's all integrated in the same database."
"Its capabilities let us organize our work."
"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"IBM Maximo is a very strong and powerful tool in the market…Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Provides great flexibility."
"We can manage, organize, and track incidents, claims, jobs, tasks, preventive and corrective maintenance, locations, and assets."
"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 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."

"The product enables us to track our assets."
 

Cons

"Initial setup is a longer process because Maximo is bigger and has more processes."

"You can get lost using the application"
"Vendor management needs enhancement."
"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."
"There are always ways to improve and make things better."
"I feel that the interface is a little too complicated with a large number of fields to enter."

"The UI and UX need severe improvements."
"The product must improve the approval process of asset transfer and disposal."
