IBM Maximo Application Suite vs. NEXGEN Asset Management

It’s really good for organizing all your assets and managing your field technician teams. The new features, like the assistant and remote assistant, are also really good. On the other side, for the second part of the question, what’s less appropriate, for example, for network scanning, there used to be a part of the product that handled natural discovery. Now IBM has discontinued that, so we have to use two different products now to scan the IT environment, which is not so efficient, I would say.

It is very easy to use and everyone knows about it. It integrates quite easily with most everything. Our clients have not complained about it and seems to be well suited to the manufacturing sector where we work, but for small mom and pop shop it's a bit much, we would recommend a more simple product to those clients

The mobile platform has improved a lot in the 5-6 years we've been involved. In my opinion, NEXGEN Asset Management has targeted making mobile devices as user-friendly and useful as possible for field users. NEXGEN University has been a great tool to educate the use of these mobile platforms.

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.

Nexgen is much more widely use and required less upfront investment in training. it was also less costly than Upkeep. The marketing was about the same for both, but it seemed like a simple decision as one of our key people had used nexgen previously and had good things to say about it
