This program is great to track equipment or machinery especially at multiple locations. Can be also used to work with vendors.

I would recommend Maximo to organizations with the patience and budget for long-term returns. It is not an easy platform to learn at first, but if you invest the time, it pays you back tenfold. It is not for people looking for a simple solution; this is a tool built for serious asset management.

  • IBM Control Desk support is not the best, and if it is present, its assistance is minimal.
  • The importance of documentation is something that IBM Control Desk has also slightly ignored, and it facilitates learning.
  • Conservative in integrating with some other extensions or software.

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

Never had a good beginning from the start. We are just dreading using this because we paid for it.

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

eMaint was by far most the most comprehensive and customizable solution we looked at. The eMaint team was also extremely responsive and available during the selection process. The product training and conferences were very helpful for new user orientation and best practice learning. The customizable reports also allowed us to provide data to management in an easy to digest format

SAP Plant Manager. We’re working a lot in critical infrastructure, so in Europe it’s not allowed by law to put asset data in the cloud, especially when it’s connected to geolocation. SAP is moving to the cloud, and IT is a cloud-only solution. So that’s the advantage of Maximo, and that’s why we’re sticking with it.

Cognos on its own is a great BI tool, but integration with Maximo is complex and could be better
