IBM Maximo performs great when it comes to managing assets but it takes a bit of time and effort to learn

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use IBM Maximo for asset management and inventory control across our multiple departments, but it didn't start that way. We initially deployed it at one plant for maintenance scheduling, and within half a year, it had become a vital operation for us. We currently use it on a daily basis to track office assets and warehousing inventory, and to directly integrate with newly developed procurement workflows.

Pros

Greater visibility across our assets.
The preventive maintenance plan is very customizable.
The responsive support team fixed a critical issue within the software just a week after reporting it.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

flexible layout and flawless asset management integration

Cons

sql knowledge is essential for reporting, so non-IT teams find it useless
ibm upgrades sometimes cause disruption as they affect maintenance and production times
not being able to print work orders in bulk significantly lowers our efficiency

Likelihood to Recommend

I absolutely recommend Maximo if your business falls into a highly regulated sector or just needs a robust asset management and maintenance solution. Maximo's industry specific modules and flexibility helps it to satisfy the needs of all kinds of companies including our very own.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

IBM Maximo helped us to understand different levels or stages of our work ground management. We got a client in the industry related to assembly line production, It gave us a perspective on how to automate many details on different equipment thus reducing very boring manual work. It alerts and issues in the line of equipment. We have created a metaverse point of view on the basis of findings from Maximos EAm and CMMS systems.

Pros

Mainteinance Management cycle Tracking
Performance Tracking
OpenSource Deployment Capability
Data Cognition

Cons

Documentation need more improvement for self developer
Integration between suites can be improved.
It needs A lot of effort to learn, very difficult for beginners
Pricing of licenses are too high

Likelihood to Recommend

It is only suited for very large-scale industries and with a proper workforce to check up on it creates magic but for small-scale beginners, it is not recommended. It is unnecessary for a small-scale industry with limited property to have such a capable auditor watching. This can be done manually. The pricing is also not suitable for small-scale industries anyway. Also learning or hiring this software-specific dev is difficult.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As consultant I work at different customers within a various of industries like; Infrastructure, Oil & Gas Industrie and others. What I try to achieve is the optimal usage of Maximo within these companies. This takes time because of the changemanagement process you have to apply within these companies. When implementing a part of module and/or application of Maximo I look at it how it works out of the box and what the information need is of the company process. This means that most of the time we optimize the look and feel and handling within Maximo to make it easier to use in the day to day business. As now I'm working on the implementation of Scheduler and I have managed to customize this with additional configuration with Automation Scripting of Maximo. It still is not ideal the standard out-of-the-box solution of Scheduler, but I can manage it with the customer. What I would like is to be part of the next optimization of Scheduler. Because planning the work is one of the missing pilers within a lot of companies.

Pros

Promotion of the new Maximo Application Suite

Cons

Better support gold partners
Make it easier to communicate with the development departments
Give more insights of developments coming so we can inform our customers.

Likelihood to Recommend

The basics of Maximo is well thought about, but moving forward and looking at the new and existing industries the requirements are changing and do we need to also look at the basics of Maximo. Also, with the industries involveld to digital twin and more detailed asset management I think this are things to think about.
