Amazon SageMaker
Amazon SageMaker is a great tool for developing machine learning models that take more effort than just point-and-click type of analyses. The software works well with the other tools in the Amazon ecosystem, so if you use Amazon Web Services or are thinking about it, SageMaker would be a great addition. SageMaker is great for consumer insights, predictive analytics, and looking for gems of insight in the massive amounts of data we create. SageMaker is less suitable for analysts who do generally "small" data analyses, and "small" data analyses in today's world can be billions of records.

IBM Maximo
IBM Maximo is highly flexible, being able to suit the needs of most of the business that relies on any sort of asset to operate accordingly. Out of the box, Maximo is better suited for companies with large inventories in multiple sites looking for a centralized tracking solution for all of its assets. But, with the proper customization and implementation, it is able to suit small business looking for an efficient solution to track it's inventory as well.

- We like Maximo because it is highly configurable. We have faced challenges in the past where a lot of customizations have been done. This has resulted in a lot of pain when going for upgrades.
- The recent development in the Asset Performance management area and having the capability to analyze the data has got us really excited and we are looking forward to more advanced capabilities in Maximo 7.6.
- We have also enjoyed the capabilities it has provided in the operator log and managing our asset master data.

Cons
Amazon SageMaker
- It's very good for the hardcore programmer, but a little bit complex for a data scientist or new hire who does not have a strong programming background.
- Most of the popular library and ML frameworks are there, but we still have to depend on them for new releases.

- Hard to implement. A high number of resources and manpower is necessary to implement and upgrade IBM Maximo due to its robustness and number of functionalities.
- Version fragmentation. Due to the challenge imposed by a version upgrade, it is common to find systems relying on legacy versions of Maximo which might become a challenge for the support team.
- Unfriendly UI. The excess of functionalities and services available might become a challenge for a starting user. Although it is possible to customize the UI to fit the exact needs of each user, it is important to map exactly what each user needs.

Alternatives Considered
Amazon SageMaker
Amazon SageMaker took the heavy lifting out of building and creating models. It allowed for our organization to use our current system for integration and essentially added on a feature to help all levels of Data scientists and IT professionals in our department and company as a whole. The training was simple as well.

We were using an old software called MPX that had a lot of problems. We wanted to change it and move to a solution that would help us improve. The most used software for asset management in the market was IBM Maximo, so we didn't hesitate to adopt it. We have no regrets.

Return on Investment
Amazon SageMaker
- We have been able to deliver data products more rapidly because we spend less time building data pipelines and model servers.
- We can prototype more rapidly because it is easy to configure notebooks to access AWS resources.
- For our use-cases, serving models is less expensive with SageMaker than bespoke servers.

IBM Maximo
- Maximo has been a bit of challenge to deploy but we know that in the long term integrated asset management will be key to our success.
- We do have a good return on investment when it comes to managing inventory in Maximo.
- We feel that IBM has not done a good job of providing big picture thinking on how we can take strategy across the asset life cycle and execute that in a single system, i.e. Maximo.
