    I can only speak to our organization and it is very appropriate and well suited for our purposes. We use it every single day and I find it to be user-friendly. I am excited about utilizing more of FMX's features. We can't wait to learn more and be able to keep better records for our tenants.

    IBM Maximo Application Suite is especially useful for global maintenance standardization, preventive maintenance, and work order management. It helps us identify opportunities to improve reliability and control maintenance costs. However, I see opportunities to make the system more user-friendly, improve reporting flexibility, and simplify some processes that currently require too many steps. I will give an example: in our industry, without a taxonomy, it's almost impossible to standardize, so it depends a lot on the ability of the person who is working with the system and how familiar or used to it he is. Also, we can have as many job plans as we want, but the PM implementation- that's the one that, without an initial guide or experience, is difficult to implement.

    • Usually, we have problems with the mobile apps. For about seven out of ten customers, we need to use third-party mobile applications. It’s been a rollercoaster — Anywhere was terrible, then Maximo Mobile for 8 was pretty good, and now with Maximo 9, it’s problematic again. So it’s been ups and downs. But the good thing is that the architecture is open, so we can use third-party applications or even develop our own add-ons. Still, IBM could do this better.

    IBM Maximo Application Suite has provided a solution to our desire to consolidate the multiple applications serving the layers of the Procurement process we has been accustomed to using. By consolidating applications, licensing and software costs are reduced, and the overall headcount to support the various applications was able to be minimized.

    I have regularly contacted IBM Support to report issues and raise requests for issues we face during project implementations. The response from them has overall been good and to the point, and they get back to us within a day or 2 and guide us through the process of fixing it or providing an interim fix of the product

    As a computerized maintenance management system i do not have experience of any other system. The only experience I have is for Maximo and it works excellent for me. I am using many modules available in Maximo and all of these modules are almost fulfilling all of my business needs.

    • The real ROI on Maximo comes from time savings in processes that can be automated or enhanced within Maximo.
    • Increased uptime (based on a good maintenance plan).
    • Since it offers a wide variety of fields for applications, the interface is not as user-friendly in some cases.
