Standard contract
Customer reviews
Automation has improved asset insights while pricing and market support still need to grow
What is our primary use case?
We are reselling IBM Maximo as well. I find the automation products to be the most valuable features.
What is most valuable?
I find the automation products to be the most valuable features. When it comes to their reporting and analytics capabilities, I find them to be superb.
What needs improvement?
IBM Maximo could learn from its competitors by going aggressive to market, probably looking at price discounting, and emphasizing orientation and training and services to the end customer directly from IBM. Those three things can help. They should promote it more in my opinion.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been dealing with IBM Maximo for eight years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I usually do not recommend SAP products instead of IBM Maximo; the customer bought from SAP directly instead of buying IBM Maximo from us. They went ahead with SAP modules and modernization and improvisation there.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
SAP has advantages over IBM Maximo in that it was for one customer who was using HANA . IBM Maximo is expensive, and it is not a very well-known product in India. People have not heard of it. We tried selling it to Pune Metro, and they wanted to integrate with SAP, but the price that was quoted was very high.
I assess IBM Maximo's integration with IoT and AI as an excellent product to work with from a future-wise and technology-wise perspective. However, it is very difficult to sell in India because of the price point and no known expertise on the feature level at IBM, along with SAP in competition, which has its own tool to provide this kind of solution for asset management.
What other advice do I have?
IBM Maximo's asset tracking feature is difficult to sell in India because of price. It is not popular in India because of price and IBM not pushing, so it is not very easy to sell. We tried pushing it to some of the people who are running metro, but we did not get any big success. My overall rating for this review is 6.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Modern, Easy-to-Use Interface with Asset Management and Monitoring in One Place
Comprehensive Asset Management with Easy Setup
Asset workflows have become highly customizable and have delivered significant downtime savings
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for IBM Maximo is as a technical consultant, so I help companies to use IBM Maximo .
A quick, specific example of how I've helped a company use IBM Maximo is that it is quite generic, so we help companies to add customization in workflow processes, for example, organization and how to use the asset or location application.
In addition to my main use case, I do install IBM Maximo environment for the clients.
What is most valuable?
The best features IBM Maximo offers, in my opinion, are agility and the fact that we can customize the application to adapt to the business of the client.
The agility and customization features help my clients specifically. For example, we have a client at the airport of Nice in France who had the need to adapt the mobile application of IBM Maximo, and we were able to do it very fast compared to other solutions.
I have seen specific metrics or outcomes from these improvements. For some clients we have up to 89% downtime reduction of equipment that generates over 1.2 million euro growth in revenue because we don't spend that much money on downtime and repair costs.
What needs improvement?
IBM Maximo can be improved by providing developers with more documentation. I think IBM lacks a lot of documentation and hopefully the community who uses IBM Maximo can help if other developers have questions, but we really need official documentation because what is available on the internet is not official and we don't have strong documentation from IBM.
I would also note that around usability, we see some lack of real custom needs in the applications of IBM Maximo Mobile. For example, in applications such as inspections, we cannot really sort by specific field and the search or filtering methods are not very clear, making it difficult to easily find what we are looking for.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM Maximo for four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
IBM Maximo is very stable in my experience, as we have zero downtime, especially since we switched to cloud, and we have technical solutions to avoid any downtime in the production environment.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would say that IBM Maximo's scalability is very good.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for IBM Maximo is very helpful and they respond very quickly.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the customer support a nine.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we used Carl and we switched to IBM Maximo because we didn't have the possibility to add simply and without a lot of customization our business rules to the previous application. Now we use IBM Maximo because we can add our business logic directly and without really having a lot of cost of development or customization.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for IBM Maximo is that the licensing process is very intuitive. We have app points and the users or the clients buy a certain number of app points that suits their business need. For example, if they have a thousand users or thousand concurrent users, they will need to buy around 300 app points.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with IBM Maximo for some clients, where we have saved up to 93% downtime of equipment and 1.2 million euro for one client on return on investment.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing IBM Maximo, we evaluated other options including Infor and SAP.
What other advice do I have?
IBM Maximo in their last version includes mobility functionalities which can use the offline mode for technicians that do not have internet connection, and that is really helpful for them. Additionally, we can build workflow processes very fast that suit the business rules for the companies.
I would advise others looking into using IBM Maximo to really use only the application that they need. IBM Maximo can be really complicated if we want to use all the functionality of it. However, if we can be small and only use what we need, it is awesome, and if we need more complex scenarios, then we have to teach them to the user before we deploy it.
I would rate this review an overall 8 out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Asset tracking has improved and predictive maintenance supports long-term work management
What is our primary use case?
I am using IBM Maximo for asset management and work management. As part of the asset tracking, the work and maintenance regimes occur on the asset, and as part of that, the asset gets tracked. Asset tracking and predictive maintenance are all part of the standard asset management capability.
What is most valuable?
Flexibility is one of the key components, along with ease of use. The ease of installation depends on how you set your solution up and whether you're going for Windows or Linux. If you know what you're doing, it's fairly simple. However, if you're a new user to the product, I'd rate it a seven. If you understand the product and you've got your design set up, then it's probably looking at about an eight or nine.
What needs improvement?
I think there could be a bit more focus on the UI components. IBM Maximo has had the same UI for many years, and it hasn't really changed. From that perspective, the UI is quite old-fashioned, and that would be one of my main concerns. Additionally, some standard processes would be handy. IBM Maximo is very flexible, but it would be beneficial if they had some standard processes that you could adopt quite easily without having to configure everything yourself. Those would be my two key points.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM Maximo for more than five years, probably closer to ten.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability depends on and comes down to your setup and your implementation. You're not so much talking about the product itself, but rather your infrastructure and how that's been set up. I would probably rate it an eight or nine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I do not report directly from IBM Maximo. Instead, I pull the data into the data lake and do the reporting from there.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with both IBM Maximo, and I am currently in the process of implementing IFS.
What other advice do I have?
IBM Maximo released AI components in their latest version 9.1, so I cannot comment on that at this point in time. The AI components are still brand-spanking-new and have only just been implemented in version 9.1, so there hasn't been much uptake of that at this point in time. My overall review rating for IBM Maximo is an eight out of ten.
