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.

Cons
  • 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

Alternatives Considered
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.

I have never used anything other than Oracle SCM Cloud, so I am not sure about similar products in the market. Having said that, I still feel that it is definitely a value-added product for any manufacturing organization. It is cloud-based so it can be integrated with any modern other cloud-based systems if we have the middleware.

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