IBM Maximo performs all the routine tasks of an IT team. Thus it helps in freeing up the IT team and involve them in more urgent tasks.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Aviation & Aerospace | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2018

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

Maximo is customizable and adaptable to your business needs. I enjoy that there are many aspects that can be used from Maximo straight out of the box and that it can also be used with add-ins. There are different options for reporting which is great for analyzing various data points.

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

Sometimes there are too many "clicks" involved in getting scheduling done (although this could be a training issue more than it is an issue with the software).

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our big project now is getting the Materials Management module set-up. We have never taken a formal inventory of our materials before, so we haven't been monitoring Total Cost of Ownership. I believe the module is really going to help us get on track.

**Official Response:**

> Thank you for the feedback, we continue to work to streamline the processes throughout Maximo including Scheduling working closely with our users.   There are always opportunities to increase training for end users to help improve use of tools and gain more acceptance.

  ### 16. Technical Support Specialist testing for upgrade

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Monica R. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2018

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

New clean design and organization of portals. Although, it will take our end users a lot of time to learn the new setup.

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

With the clean new design, you now need to open and scroll down the left panel to get to common portals.

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Preventative maintenance for our HVAC and all Public Works equipment, as well as having a record of all of our assests, work orders and labor reporting.

**Official Response:**

> Thank you Monica! 
As an FYI, Scrolling of the modules in the side-navigation panel was always a possibility. As part of the IoT18 reskin, type sizes were increased and click targets made larger in some areas. This may have increased the height of the navigation to require scrolling for a small number of users who have access to dozens of modules. Most users are not effected. Let us know if that help. Thanks again for the inputs as we continue to work on enhancing the experience and effectiveness of Maximo!

  ### 17. Supervisor's Hands on Experience

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

The simplicity of the maximo workscreen. The ease opf use for the user.

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

We currently have a very custom version of Maximo. There are a lot of steps to cpmplete a task, so we end up using lots of work arounds

**Recommendations to others considering IBM Maximo Application Suite:**

Don't tweek it. Use it out of the box then customize it

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is the cmms. It tracks the data so we can work more efficiently

  ### 18. Occasionally frustrating, but better than other database apps

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2017

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

This app is very tailored to running a maintenance shop. It's really good for keeping up on your PMIs and helping you with inventory maintenance

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

The search on this is absolutely terrible. Old Boolean style searching and half the time it can't find things because a part number is incomplete in the system. I'm not sure how to fix it, but I feel like it could be so much more user friendly

**Recommendations to others considering IBM Maximo Application Suite:**

As compared to other inventory database apps, this one is decent. Though, they need to work on their search functions.

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has helped us to make sure we have the inventory we need when we need it. I can even look at the inventory of other facilities if we don't happen to have the part I need right this moment.

**Official Response:**

> Thank you for the feedback, this helps as we continue to invest in all areas of Maximo including the search capabilities. We have made some improvements including type ahead, exact match and advanced search capabilities, and will continue to look at how we can improve this going forward.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2017

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

It's fairly easy to use, customized to my company, & usually doesn't have bugs.

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

There is a major learning curve - it's not always intuitive & clearly designed by people who aren't experienced in the roles it's designed FOR.

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I spend the majority of my day working through Maximo. It's our operations, materials, & procurement management online platform. 

**Official Response:**

> Thank you for the input, and glad to see such broad use for your organization.  Maximo is a very extensive product and provides capabilities that cross many users and roles within and organization.

  ### 23. IBM Maximo at its maximum performance.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** André B. | PDG, Professional Training & Coaching, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2016

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

Maximo Asset Management by IBM combines asset management with maintenance management. From a single system, companies can monitor and manage the complete lifecycle of their enterprise assets, including facilities, communications, transportation, production, infrastructure, and more. This centralized functionality ensures that users have visibility and control over active conditions and processes, while increasing productivity and reducing downtime.

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

Maximo is a very "all inclusive" software that can be used for whatever your business needs are; flexible enough to adapt to your company; and meets industry best practices to help establish process standards. Maximo UI is very easily configurable to provide a look that suits your needs and allows your legacy process workflow to be automated.

**Recommendations to others considering IBM Maximo Application Suite:**

Continue in this direction, I think that establishing in France is a good thing. Maximo can be very complex during initial implementations and some upgrades.

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When looking at software of this nature, consider having all your processes and related data in a single database. There will always be some integration necessary, however, consider Maximo as an ERP system that can manage most, if not all, of your needs.

  ### 24. Powerful product but bloated and non intuitive.  Also expensive.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rod M. | Senior Digital Delivery Analyst, End User Device Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2016

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

My current organization used Assyst and this is MUCH better and more capable. We use it for management of Incidents, Service Requests and Changes which works great.  You can attach documents and notifications work great, as well.

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

 It is not very intuitive, however, and is very expensive between the implementation and custom development (Maximo developers are expensive!).  There are cheaper products (or free) out there, that's for sure, that will give you the same functionality.  As well, we are looking for ways to dynamically update IT assets (workstations, servers, routers, etc) but there appears to be no way to do that.  Reporting is also very limited without springing for the extra reporting module.

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Management of IT Incidents, Service Requests and Changes.

  ### 25. Complex system with lots of customization, but performance is sub-par

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2016

**What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

Customization: Data sets and usage can be customized to all ends. 

Web app interface for our asset dictionary and software dictionary is clean and organized.  Great setup for managing life cycle of various components within our systems.

**We use this system in relation to a few other IBM systems, Maximo being a fundamental piece.

**What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?**

Performance.  The scope of our use of Maximo is vast - many hundreds of users, and hundreds on hundreds of data sets for anything you can think.  We also have scripting engines tied into some of the details to help automate some of our processes.  With that said, one would hope the system would continue to function in a speedy manner.  In peak times, we see a degradation in speed that can be frustrating at times.  




**Recommendations to others considering IBM Maximo Application Suite:**

Ensure you use the tool to its potential.  There are so many sets of data you can customize and pull.  Which in itself can cause issues if your users are not properly trained.  Ensure they know how to use the system to provide proper data for whatever you want to capture/track, etc.

**What problems is IBM Maximo Application Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Asset management, asset dictionary, software dictionary and availability, knowledge management.  This allows us to track deployment of various hardware pieces, and to plan for timely upgrades when appropriate.  This definitely aids in our asset life cycle for our computers.  

It is also a tool we use to manage our software dictionary and track/update software titles when appropriate.

**Official Response:**

> Thank you for your comments.  Performance is a critical area for us and there are many best practices published that should help with tuning your environment appropriately to reduce degradation during peak usage.  If you have specific concerns please contact support to get more information.
