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

"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"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."
"Preventive maintenance management."
"​Maximo is very stable. We really do not have problem with stability.​"
"The most valuable feature is asset management maintenance as well as asset management overall."
"The incident management feature is good because it allows you to keep track of and classify issues."
"The ability to configure and integrate it with other solutions for ERP."
"Work order management and scalability enables the businesses' needs to be met."
"The whole product is important and valuable to us."
 

Cons

"​Maximo is a big system, so the initial setup is complex."
"This solution could improve by integrating or embedding finances, charts of accounts, and invoicing."
"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 mobile solution has a lot of room for improvement, especially in geopositioning capabilities, tracking capabilities, and configuration capabilities, in order to let the tech operate online and offline.​"
"Areas for improvement include: an enhanced Service Catalog on Mobile; Agent intelligence; better dashboards for KPIs."
"The interface is not very easy or user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"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."
"Although you can create notifications with Maximo, the configuration and options could be improved."
"The product is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 concurrent user license is much more effective in management and cost-wise, as it is more suitable for maintenance management."
"The price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"I do not know about the price of the solution. However, this has been an expensive project overall."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"​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.​"
"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 tool is very expensive."
