    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.

    Cons
    IBM
    • The interface is not friendly, and it took a lot of time for our team to get comfortable with it.
    • Sometimes updates can led to unexpected lag and downtime.
    • It has many useful modules and features, but it is not well known, and I only recently found it after I was actively searching for it.

    The IBM Maximo Application Suite is well known for inventory management solutions. 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

    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

    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

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