IBM Maximo Application Suite Erfahrungen

This application is used in order to manage the assets of our company more effectively. Entity,Inventory,Purchasing and Used in Service Management.

Very useful software, no negative side.

This has replaced several systems meaning you can find a wealth of detailed information in one place. It is easy and quick to produce reports and categorise information. Everything is precise and you can tailor the pages you view to your needs, sharing them with whoever needs to see them. Creating your own queries is also very useful.

Unable to view jobs planned in preferred order however I believe that this is a company limitation rather than the application itself.

creating a ticket in Maximo was easy enough. I created hundreds of tickets a week

some required fields I could have done without .
There did seem to be a log out issue where I would constantly have to log back in daily.
The search feature is overly complicated and doesn't work at times.

Maximo is great because you can track and analyze a lot of data with one program.

When I was a calibration technician it took a lot of time to set each calibration up.

Immediate access to colour utility prints. Access to job initiators pictures of site. Real time upload of images. Accessible via toughbook on site and via desk top when office based.

Will not work with apple products. Log ins will expire for no apparent reason and is laborious to reinstate. Could be slightly easier to use, needlessly complicated for site based work.

This software is loaded with tons of tools to manage inventory, and general work flow in the industrial environment. We use it for logging and taking repair work orders, handling of parts orders and fufillment and job scheduling.

The interface is really hard to use. There's so many options and hidden menus that you can get lost easily. Setting up your home page takes a long time but once it's set up i's easy to use.

User Friendly, Highly Configurable, Maximo Mobile, Feature rich in terms of Enterprise Asset Management, Integration Capabilities

1) MAS license uplift for existing Maximo user licenses need to be kept minimal
2) To Prebuilt the Asset Parameters to be monitored for Predictive purpose based on different industry verticals

The program is very robust. It is deep in that you can drill down and be very specific as to the type of reports you can generate. It's PM capabilities allow you to create a huge database.

The program is not particularly user friendly. It requires a good deal of training for both data entry and to generate reports.

Good customization capabilities using application designer and data base configuration
Easy to integrate with other systems with MIF.
Very intuitive user interface

Deployment can be complex
Good consulting skills are key to success.
Licensing model could be complicated.

It's simply the best! IBM seeks to have the best CMMS product available and they have that and they continue to make it better all the time!

I think the licensing scheme is confusing and hard to understand. I think it's a road block to asset owner's looking for the best CMMS.
I think the cost is prohibitive. I realize it's an expensive product to produce and maintain but I also believe it's severely overpriced.

Requires asset owners to lean heavily on implementation partners who do not fully understand the product (as an end user) and as a result they are not able to help match the customer needs with the product ability.

Once you learn the complexity, you can work with it.

COmplexity, user interface, speed.

At the time of purchase we bought Maximo from PSDI. The product at the time allowed us to standardize on a distributed platform while saving costs at an enterprise level. As some of the main players from PSDI moved to IBM after the purchase, the support model stayed the same. IBM did bring a bit more scalability to the tool while leveraging various partners for bolt ons and integration.

As Maximo changed hands the licensing model changed along with it. With all of the good IBM brought to the table, per user costs did rise.

So scalable & covers everything.

None - it proved to be a myth that it's complex.

Maximo can be used across domains. It also come with variety of addons and industry solutions provide options to choose best fit solution. IBM keep Maximo up to date with Market trends. Maximo is very easy to configure and tweak as per business need.

Maximo Licence Cost is on higher side compare to other EAM product.

Architecture is very Modern and make use of latest technologies
Most of the Industry Based solution available
IBM Support for Product issues
Very Flexible in Customisation as per Needs
Excellent Integration Framework

Licencing needs to be made more flexible as it is now.

ease of use, easy to teach.

configuration can be difficult if not familiar with the product, or how to fit the product to the end user business practice.

Maximo can be customized quite a bit to fit different needs for different users. This allows you to set different priorities and Maximo will fit your specific requirements. Maximo is also very powerful, and can handle inventory and workflow management.

The learning curve for Maximo can be quite stiff. Also, in order to customize to its fullest capacity, Maximo will require a lot of hands on work from your IT team. It can be quite a handful to get up and running.

This product give me the tools needed to get our maintenance department on track with our work orders, preventative maintenance, and purchase orders. Our support rep is amazing! We are still building our maintenance program, and this product makes it so much easier to make the transition.

I do not have any negative comments at all. I can't really find anything that I dislike about the product. This product will do more than we will ever use. This product can support all of our needs at present and in the future.

Highly configurable. Extensive out of box functionality. Constant updates and upgrades.

High complexity. Expert advice required for successful implementation.
