IBM
Maximo has performed well for my client in procurement, particularly in contract tracking and management. It provides an easy-to-use central hub for all relevant employees and contractors to find MSAs and SOWs and to see dashboards of contract status and expiration. It is integrated with other front-end solutions to help with information intake.

MaintainX would work best for any organization that has work orders with multiple steps to complete (especially for repeated work orders) and multiple employees to manage. It would also be especially good for businesses where the work schedule is variable or if the same steps need to be completed regularly

Cons
IBM
  • 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.

  • Missing some functions, but the team is always on top of innovation so if I don't see it today, it may be there tomorrow.
  • Wish there was a simpler way for operators to complete inspections rather than having to create work requests.
  • Pricing is confusing and the way that they have their billing set up is strange.

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.

EMaint was limited as to what it could do on the mobile side. MaintainX was built on a mobile platform and is a mobile-first system, with full functionality on both mobile and desktop. MaintainX has increased our usability for all of our technicians.

  • It has helped not only my team, but the management of our company to see what we do and how we are doing maintenance.
  • Our inventory is a lot to work on, but MaintainX has changed the way we used to inventory and makes it easier for the team to check out or put away parts.
  • Having QR codes around our building for requesters and maintenance to scan has helped out when trying to decipher where the problem is.
