Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Industrials | Asset Performance vs. IBM Maximo Application Suite

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.

• Extensive asset tracking and management. IBM Maximo is extremely capable of handling all sorts of assets so you can track every detail and part of the lifecycle of an asset inside an organization.
• Highly customizable. If the broad array of possibilities inside IBM Maximo still isn't suited for your specific application, it is possible to customize it to a very high degree so it can fit the needs of your organization.
• Preventive maintenance and services. With IBM Maximo, it is possible to schedule all sorts of preventive maintenance for your equipment, maximizing the uptime of your systems and machinery and minimizing unforeseen events.

• 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.

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 expected, good content and instructions

Implementation of IBM MAS as a service provider has been easy. The functionality in the OEM space has been the best of its class with all related modules and application subject to maintenance

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
