Additional Details
Hippo CMMS subscription pricing is determined based on the number of users. A user is anyone that needs to log in and access Hippo' s core features. Users include managers, owners, technicians, and supervisors. Maintenance requesters are not users.
Price is also determined by required features. We have pricing plans for complex operations that require deeper functionality and plans for simple operations that are new to CMMS.
I find that Hippo [CMMS] is really well suited for any scenario. Most CMMS are geared toward manufacturing or industrial use, Hippo [CMMS] works as well for a school or church as it would for a factory. The ease of use for the requestor makes it an ideal platform for any institution.
IBM Maximo Application Suite is well suited for organizations looking for an application to track their end-to-end procurement and supply chain process. It can also be used for billing services, but that would mainly be for services provided as part of a work order, not voluminous customer billing. IBM Maximo Application Suite allows us to have one application where someone from procurement can input contracts and details, someone from any various department can create a requisition and superiors can use automated workflow to approve a purchase order, and someone at an operations location can receive and store materials. Subsequently, someone in the field can submit their hours and material used and it be approved via automated workflow for an invoice to be created. Payment functionality is possible, but we did not implement this aspect of IBM Maximo Application Suite. To note, throughout the process, interfacing can be set up to send transactions to your general ledger. As far as interfacing, IBM Maximo Application Suite also offers tools and configuration to set up endpoints. We have been able to set up REST APIs and request/responses without heavy involvement from developers. This is a nice bonus if integrating with multiple applications.

Completed work order reporting can be improved. It seems harder than it should be to get the data I need.
I would like to streamline the work order closing procedure. I feel like it takes longer than it should to open various screens and add labor, mark tasks complete, change status, etc. It is a minor inconvenience, but just waiting a few seconds opening up a new window is time-consuming with many WO at a time.
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.
IBM MAS is the leader in the EAM space. They continue to evolve with the newest technology to stay on the forefront of cutting edge asset management. Their continued international growth and market share demonstrate the effectiveness of the product, its ease of use, and the return on investment of new functionalities.
The IBM Maximo Application Suite is well known for inventory management solutions. This solution is in use by many corporations but mostly I have seen its use in Ports, defense and aerospace industries. Some of the benefits are 1. asset tracking is amazing 2. Maintenance cost is less 3. Reduced inspection costs 4. Less downtime 5. It allows customization 6 Simplify data management 7. Highly adaptable
I've used Hippo for several years now. I'm sure other programs have been developed since I did my comparison testing. But Hippo has always done everything we needed it to do. It's very reliable. My guys don't doubt whether or not it's doing its job. The calendar view, ease of use and floor mapping set this program apart from others.
Support is good (since we are business partner and do have direct contact with product development). For customers it might be sometime difficult to address real bugs ("work as designed syndrome") and/or additions, improvements or ideas. Creating them is quite easy, but track them in terms of follow-up can be done better.
Implementation of IBM MAS as a service provider has been easy. The functionality in the OEM space has been the best of its class with all related modules and application subject to maintenance
Ease of end-user to put in a task that they would like to have completed. Hippo is really easy to use and to complete tasks. If a person putting in a task includes their email or phone number we can get ahold of them to ask and questions and it lets them know progress of their task.
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.
