Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Provides great flexibility."
"The incident management feature is good because it allows you to keep track of and classify issues."
"We can manage, organize, and track incidents, claims, jobs, tasks, preventive and corrective maintenance, locations, and assets."
"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 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 ability to configure and integrate it with other solutions for ERP."
"The Preventive Maintenance feature, especially in its inspection routines and KPI abilities, is valuable."
"The power management aspect of nlyte provides a comprehensive overview of power consumption and forecasting capabilities. It allows for strategic planning, such as assessing the impact of adding new racks with specific power requirements. This feature facilitates considerations not only for power consumption but also for thermal aspects, including airflow dynamics between hot and cold aisles. In essence, the most advantageous feature of nlyte sfor us lies in its power management capabilities."
 

Cons

"It's not user-friendly. It could use shortcuts for frequently requested services."
"Coding can be complex when customization is required."
"This solution could improve by integrating or embedding finances, charts of accounts, and invoicing."
"​Maximo is a big system, so the initial setup is complex."
"You can get lost using the application"
"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."
"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."
"Areas for improvement include: an enhanced Service Catalog on Mobile; Agent intelligence; better dashboards for KPIs."
"Nylte is quite intricate to use. Training someone to navigate the platform would likely require a substantial investment, ranging from one to two months for basic proficiency, followed by an additional two to three months of consistent use to gain full proficiency. Despite its complexity, I believe there is room for simplification, making it more user-friendly. While there have been improvements, there is potential for further enhancements in this area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"IBM Maximo offers a licensing application, and you have to comply with the license."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"Explore the possibility of using DB2. You will avoid the cost of SQL Server or Oracle licenses."
"​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.​"
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"We currently hold a perpetual license, and our expenditure is limited to support costs. While I recall that the new license model follows a subscription-based SaaS approach, I don't have the precise cost details as we are not actively using it at the moment."
