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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to correct maintenance."
"IBM Maximo is a very strong and powerful tool in the market…Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It can be particularly useful for power line operations, enabling linemen in the field to gather information and send it across the country as well as different parts of the world."
"Provides great flexibility."
"IBM Maximo is the best software for assets management."
"It is configurable, where you can add extra fields to screens and to the database."
"We can manage, organize, and track incidents, claims, jobs, tasks, preventive and corrective maintenance, locations, and assets."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create work orders and preventative maintenance."
"The whole product is important and valuable to us."
 

Cons

"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."
"I feel that the interface is a little too complicated with a large number of fields to enter."
"Areas for improvement would be the user interface and support for Arabic. They could also be more customer-oriented."
"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."
"Revision management of file attachments."
"Although you can create notifications with Maximo, the configuration and options could be improved."
"This solution could improve by integrating or embedding finances, charts of accounts, and invoicing."
"You can get lost using the application"
"The product is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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.​"
"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 price of IBM Maximo could reduce, it is expensive."
"You pay for what you get. There are lots of options depending on how you would like to implement Maximo."
"IBM Maximo offers a licensing application, and you have to comply with the license."
"The tool is very expensive."
