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.
Nadun Gamage - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is not user-friendly, and it is very expensive, though it is highly stable
I rate the ease of initial setup a five out of ten. It's not so difficult to set up and configure the product, but it is not entirely easy. We need a set of experienced people to deploy the solution. However, people with experience in Oracle are not difficult to find.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were able to scale perfectly.​"
"We are very thankful to have IBM integrated with our own Legacy cloud-based system"
"Has a powerful audit combination that helps achieve high accuracy."
"Work order management and scalability enables the businesses' needs to be met."
"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 are the ability to create work orders and preventative maintenance."
"Its capabilities let us organize our work."
"The large range of configurability of the product is great, since everyone has a different way of doing things."
"The whole product is important and valuable to us."
 

Cons

"It's quite reliable, but new versions often are not too stable. They bring in enhancements but they break other stuff."
"It needs full-service visibility. There are a lot of things that are hard for users to find out. For example, the Service Catalog is not too friendly. You really have to know what you're looking for."
"The standard reports that shipped with the package need to be enriched with more advanced reports, especially for the Inventory Management sections."
"There are always ways to improve and make things better."
"Vendor management needs enhancement."
"The initial setup was complex, because it is a complex product."
"Areas for improvement include: an enhanced Service Catalog on Mobile; Agent intelligence; better dashboards for KPIs."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"I do not know about the price of the solution. However, this has been an expensive project overall."
"$USD700 per agent user."
"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."
"The tool is very expensive."
