    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.

    The app is best suited to managing audits of assets and financial reporting, supporting asset control, and serving small businesses, but less suitable for large businesses that rely heavily on online operations. Limited to real-time businesses, but probably better for physical-based or physical asset tracking.

    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.

    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.

    The application is best of its class in Asset Life Cycle Management with powerful features for EAM, Predictive Analysis and Health. The data from Asset maintenance brings together a whole new picure for Asset Health and monitoring the life cycle of the asset starting from deployment until end of life

    Well, it's effective enough for managing asset depreciation, tracking, managing business, and sometimes reporting. It helps us save time by avoiding errors. However, the UI can become complex, and reporting can be clunky. It may take some time to get used to, so it's not always for beginners. Also, not intuitive enough for the modern era in the subject of integration and cloud-based management.

    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

    Rather lackluster. Our account manager generally works with Sage's support team and oftentimes finds herself frustrated with a lack of understanding from the support team. Additionally, when IT is attempting to update the system (which from my understanding is a bear of epic complex proportions) they often times find themselves frustrated and at a loss for what needs done.

    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.

    Sage was overall a much simpler product to understand. Our users were able to wrap their heads around how it worked and the learning curve was very short. Meanwhile the other products we looked at seemed so complicated for what were needing. I am glad that we chose Sage in the end.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • 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.
