IBM Maximo Application Suite Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Ability to track and manage work orders so you understand what is happening at your facility.

Re-using and duplicating job plans takes away the tediousness of writing equipment specific maintenance procedures.

Nachteile

Very powerful for building and tracking maintenance KPI's but can take training and experience to use to it's full potential.

Vorteile

Comprehensive asset management solution: IBM Maximo Application Suite offers a range of capabilities, from asset lifecycle management to maintenance and repair operations, that help organizations optimize their asset performance, minimize downtime, and reduce costs.

Nachteile

Implementation and maintenance costs: The cost of implementing and maintaining IBM Maximo Application Suite, including the software itself and any associated services, can be substantial. Additionally, the initial implementation and ongoing maintenance and upgrades may require significant resources.

Vorteile

1. Highly customizable.
2. Runs in a virtual environment.
3. Made by IBM, so it'll be around for the foreseeable future.

Nachteile

1. Very busy UI.
2. Screen-to-screen navigation is clunky (browser back button breaks)
3. The search is more complicated than it should be, nearly unusable.
4. Our company's "Quick Guide" is 45 pages long—that's saying something.
5. Need multiple IT developers and DBA's to run the software at an enterprise level.

Vorteile

Capable and has amazing industry verticals which set Maximo apart from all competitors. The addition of HSE manager was a great value and the recent Supply Chain functionalities enhancement were spot on. Overall, when it comes to having an out of the box product with deep industry understanding, Maximo is the way to go.

Nachteile

##Product 1: The product lacks standards business processes, just like SAP, Maximo must ship with standard business process. Stressing on the same point, I'd rather spend time and money understanding the standard business process and using it as a starting point than having the absolute freedom to create whatever because this is where "replicating legacy systems" starts.

##Product 2: It is difficult to justify Maximo investment compared to Oracle EBS or SAP! unless you really need a specific industry vertical, Maximo is one system which require million integrations. Hence, Maximo must ship with, not only the excellent MIF capability, but also with free integration adapters to major systems from Oracle and SAP. The cost of maintaining a custom integration between Maximo and those systems is just to high compared to integrations between Maximo and less demanding systems.

##Vendor 1: If IBM is not able to provide a fully integrated ERP system, then they have to make the product more appealing by reducing the cost of getting up and integrated with the existing ERP system. Not only by offering a generic way to integrate but also to provide a set configurable integration adapters with business cases.

##Vendor 2: The licensing scheme has to be revised to become more flexibly, every product has weaknesses compared to competitors and if IBM cannot offer a full ERP then they must take it easy and compensate somewhere else.

Vorteile

Maximo is one of IBM's masterpieces, with true comprehensiveness to manage enterprise assets. It is powerful and versatile, and it's easy to use. It's by far the only end-to-end asset management software on the market. It can serve as a centralized database for your equipment, and it will help monitor and manage your assets. If you have a lot of equipment, Maximo is the way to go. It can help you keep track of everything, and it has all of the tools you need for managing, maintaining, and servicing your equipment.

Nachteile

I find the product's ease of use to be its best feature and also the most frustrating. The user interface is confusing when attempting to learn how the program functions; modules have similar features, but not all of them are intuitive. I switch between browsers depending on which one works best for different tasks.

Vorteile

I have been using Maximo for about 2 years and have been very happy with the ease of use and the reports it generates. I have been using Maximo to track our equipment and work order requests. I have found the maintenance history reports to be helpful in predicting equipment failure. I also use it to track employee time and generate reports on individual employee work habits. It would be nice if it could compare time worked from day to day, but it does not so far.

Nachteile

Maximo has many features that can be useful to businesses, but it may also be confusing for some users. The software is expensive, and much of its cost may be due to its advanced feature set.

Vorteile

What I like the most is: traceability, functionalities, conectivity. If you feed the software with good information, it will be a powerful tool for your company. You can keep track of a lot of things in one place. Perfect for maintenance management. Everyday I learn something new about it.

Nachteile

What I like the least would be the ease of use, interface is not very friendly for user, in my opinion. When you learn two or three things you start understanding how every module works, because it's similar, but some things don't really make sense at the beginning. And some functionalities work better from one browser to other, so I keep changing browsers (from Edge to Chrome, for example)

Vorteile

Nachteile

How heavy it is sometimes for my browser, it becomes so slow it is annoying. Also managment requires lot of study and support from IBM.

Easy to integrate with other systems with MIF.

This tool provides ITService management ticketing tool Options with low cost. It has features at par with competitive tools, providing Incident, problem, change modules.

Nachteile

service level reporting module can be improved

Vorteile

This software is ideal for companies with a lot of assets to keep track of. I use the tool to run reports on the status of changes made to our trains but I know it has the capacity to do so much more.

Nachteile

It isn't all that user friendly but with the right teacher it is easily navigated. The software can be slow at times but then I deal with a lot of data which may be why

It sometimes takes time load, causing lagging. Also don't like how quickly it times out

Nachteile

Need focus more FMEA analysis and enhance product to handle important Reliability concepts,the way SAP is coming as a single platform for enterprise giving customers to re think on having separate infrastructure for Maximo.

Vorteile

Tracking of work orders and service requests is great, also assigning job codes to preventative maintenance plans and labor hour tracking.

Nachteile

Ability to make changes or customizations to software

Vorteile

Configuration from front end. Ease of use. The envirosphere associated with the product.

Nachteile

Just so much to learn for any individual, and both training and documentation are difficult to manage just because of sheer volume.

Vorteile

I dont have any feature I liked about the product. This might be a good solution for software engineers who are dealing with design of workflows etc but this is not a product for final user.

Nachteile

User interface is really really bad. Its user interface does not encourage you to use it. Even filling a simple from for raising a ticket is becoming a headache.

Vorteile

Ability to capture data on Work Orders. Notes, labor, materials, purchasing, invoicing and attachments. We also utilize routes, condition monitoring, and meters.

Would like to know more about Asset Heath.

Vorteile

Highly configurable. Extensive out of box functionality. Constant updates and upgrades.

Nachteile

High complexity. Expert advice required for successful implementation.

Vorteile

Maximo can be customized quite a bit to fit different needs for different users. This allows you to set different priorities and Maximo will fit your specific requirements. Maximo is also very powerful, and can handle inventory and workflow management.

Nachteile

The learning curve for Maximo can be quite stiff. Also, in order to customize to its fullest capacity, Maximo will require a lot of hands on work from your IT team. It can be quite a handful to get up and running.

Vorteile

I like how organized it is, how easy it is to use the QBRs to fit our company's results. Projetech is a fantastic company. Everyone is so very helpful; they are very organized, and they follow up quickly to see that your issue is resolved in a timely manner. I have never worked with a more organized support group than Projetech.

Nachteile

I have not used the software long enough to have a least.

-Enterprise level allows for large scale asset tracking across multiple branches of the company
