There are many good implemented functions in IBM Maximo, but I see these two functions as the most valuable ones from my point of view. My advice to others considering IBM Maximo is that top management should hire internal team personnel who are knowledgeable about the system. A good implementation produces great results. The team should be dedicated to IBM Maximo and have substantial experience. Management should ensure people work through IBM Maximo and resist any workarounds to make it successful at their company. I rate IBM Maximo a 9 out of 10 because of the finance section limitations. However, its cost makes sense due to competitor prices.
To be able to recommend the solution to others, I think it would depend on the type of work they're trying to do. If they are engaged in fieldwork as power technologists, then IBM Maximo could be a suitable option, as I am currently unaware of any other platform or software that offers the same capabilities on such a large scale. However, if there is another software platform that proves to be superior to Maximo, I would strongly recommend using that instead, as accessibility in Maximo is not something I would ever recommend to anyone. It was able to fulfill the tasks we needed to accomplish when it functioned properly and was free of bugs. However, on most days, IBM Maximo operated at a very slow pace and did not update information as frequently as we desired. Therefore, I would describe it as software that had both positive and negative aspects. Overall, I rate the solution a five out of ten.
IBM Maximo is a very strong and powerful tool in the market. But you need a strong team for the implementation of Maximo. I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

This is quite a good solution although I'd like to see a product that is easier to customize. On the commercial side, it should offer a more scalable financial model or an enterprise-level arrangement whereby carrier networks are able to adopt it in a much more economical way. I rate this solution seven out of 10.
My advice to others is they need to have someone who's an expert assist them with the implementation. They cannot do it alone. If they're not familiar with the solution, they need to have an implementation specialist in IBM Maximo. I rate IBM Maximo a nine out of ten. I rated the solution a nine because it's easy to use and very powerful. It has a lot of features and capabilities, and it's easy to configure.

Find people that know how to use it and have experience with it. Learn how to integrate other products, other third-party applications into it. Like any other product, you want to find people that have experience using it and know how to push it beyond what they do. There are all kinds of add-ons to it. I would rate this an eight out of ten.

We are planning on receiving an extended or advanced version of IBM Maximo. It's a nice product and I think it is going to add a lot of value to the region because now they can see all the history. Moreover, they're going to get an automated process. I recommend IBM Maximo to others. I rate IBM Maximo a seven out of ten. However, I have never worked on any of the competitive products of IBM Maximo.

My advice for anybody who is considering Maximo is that it is very comprehensive, provided you like to fill in a lot of information. It collects a lot of data and a lot of analysis can be done. However, in our experience, we find that people don't want to do it. If they are grouping jobs then they don't want to enter a lot of information. In this case, entering the minimum is better. This is the biggest problem that we are facing. There is a lot of work to do and following all of the processes and procedures is time-consuming because of the data entry. I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

They have a preview site where you can log in as a user and try it for yourself. That is a really good way to get a feel for the solution; better than Youtube or whitepapers and things like that. You have a preview site, you log in, and you can try it. I would give Maximo a seven out of 10 because it's good, but it's not too user-friendly, and some of the issues we have come across, the impact to us was a little too much to be coming from a big company such as IBM.
