I like IBM Maximo Application Suite for its very rich functional coverage, including work orders, preventive maintenance, inventory, and the asset register all in one platform. The configurability without code using Application Designer, automation scripts, and workflows is another standout, as it makes it easy to adapt the software without needing Java customizations. The modern, containerized architecture on OpenShift is quite appealing, especially with the availability of the wider suite, like Monitor, Health, and Predict, for further expansion when needed. I particularly value the automation scripts because they allow me to update business rules quickly, which simplifies migrations and upgrades. Additionally, the Application Designer is a crucial tool for tailoring screens to fit customer needs, and the MAS operators on OpenShift make installation and updates more standardized and repeatable.

Installation and upgrades with IBM Maximo Application Suite require solid OpenShift expertise, which many Maximo teams do not have yet, so there's a real learning curve. The AppPoints licensing model also takes time to understand and size correctly. Additionally, the documentation can be scattered across versions, making troubleshooting slower. The initial setup is demanding, as it involves having a properly sized OpenShift cluster, storage, certificates, and the MAS operators before you can even configure Manage. For a team without container experience, the first installation requires real effort and planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
