This has improved traceability and accountability, efficiency and reporting.
This has improved traceability and accountability, efficiency and reporting.
Pros
This has replaced several systems meaning you can find a wealth of detailed information in one place. It is easy and quick to produce reports and categorise information. Everything is precise and you can tailor the pages you view to your needs, sharing them with whoever needs to see them. Creating your own queries is also very useful.
Cons
Unable to view jobs planned in preferred order however I believe that this is a company limitation rather than the application itself.

it was a useful ticket creation system
Pros
creating a ticket in Maximo was easy enough. I created hundreds of tickets a week
Cons
some required fields I could have done without .
There did seem to be a log out issue where I would constantly have to log back in daily.
The search feature is overly complicated and doesn't work at times.

i enjoy maximo, its alot easier to use the the last two systems i have used in utilities. i feel like mentioned in the cons for my team an interated system for a planning tool would be better for my role.
Pros
- easy navigation
- main information needed very easy to see
- everything needed is in one place.
- saving options are easy so things are no lost
- easy to add and view attachments
Cons
- not always good to use with planning, a planning tool intergrated with maximo would be good for my role.
- freezes quite alot
- only one person can amend at a time so if you have amended something it will not let you save it.

Maximo seems to be a very powerfull tool to keep track of work orders preventative maintenance and equipment, just make sure that your IT group can make maximo work for you. Remember the KISS principle. More powerfull and custimizable is not always better.
Pros
Maximo has many features that are customizable to fit your needs. This is great if you want to be able to prioritize your work orders for safety or energy savings.
Cons
It is easy for work orders to get lost if you dont write them correctly. Work orders separate from engineering orders and even if you change them from one to the other they get lost in maximo purgatory. When imputing a charge code in the work order screen it gets overwritten when the assigned group gets put in. This is extremely frustrating.

It could be a lot less complex. This is to be used by operatives in the field who are not always the most computer savvy.
Pros
Immediate access to colour utility prints. Access to job initiators pictures of site. Real time upload of images. Accessible via toughbook on site and via desk top when office based.
Cons
Will not work with apple products. Log ins will expire for no apparent reason and is laborious to reinstate. Could be slightly easier to use, needlessly complicated for site based work.

Overall it's a powerful software that can easily handle a company's inventory and workflow management. I would however offer an in depth training to employees using the software.
Pros
This software is loaded with tons of tools to manage inventory, and general work flow in the industrial environment. We use it for logging and taking repair work orders, handling of parts orders and fufillment and job scheduling.
Cons
The interface is really hard to use. There's so many options and hidden menus that you can get lost easily. Setting up your home page takes a long time but once it's set up i's easy to use.

we are able to view all job details in one place therefore do not need 6 other systems open to gather all of the information before the job goes ahead as we did previously.
with updating permits in real time it has saved money on fines. overall apart from afew negative things listed Maximo is a good buy.
Pros

* easy to view all information
* easy to see notes added by the office with regards to customer information so nothing is missed whilst out on site.
* we can update pictures to the teams
* pin point locations of digging.
* attach gas drawings to the job so the teams are digging safely.
Cons
* maximo has a tendancy to freeze
* if teams are in a bad signal area it can cause permits to not be updated in time.
* alot of the time i need to reset my password
* on a small screen it sometimes looks to much for the teams out in the field.

One of the more complex CMMS systems on the market today.
Pros
The program is very robust. It is deep in that you can drill down and be very specific as to the type of reports you can generate. It's PM capabilities allow you to create a huge database.
Cons
The program is not particularly user friendly. It requires a good deal of training for both data entry and to generate reports.

Administrator and End User
Reviewed on 2016/09/02
Pros
It's simply the best! IBM seeks to have the best CMMS product available and they have that and they continue to make it better all the time!
Cons
I think the licensing scheme is confusing and hard to understand. I think it's a road block to asset owner's looking for the best CMMS.
I think the cost is prohibitive. I realize it's an expensive product to produce and maintain but I also believe it's severely overpriced.
Requires asset owners to lean heavily on implementation partners who do not fully understand the product (as an end user) and as a result they are not able to help match the customer needs with the product ability.

Maximo in the Utility Space
Reviewed on 2016/08/30
Pros
At the time of purchase we bought Maximo from PSDI. The product at the time allowed us to standardize on a distributed platform while saving costs at an enterprise level. As some of the main players from PSDI moved to IBM after the purchase, the support model stayed the same. IBM did bring a bit more scalability to the tool while leveraging various partners for bolt ons and integration.
Cons
As Maximo changed hands the licensing model changed along with it. With all of the good IBM brought to the table, per user costs did rise.

The software is fairly complex out of the gate, so self training for meaning full use is hard and slow going. Add-on modules with additional licensing costs and some level of customization are more than likely required to get meaningful functionality which drive up costs and the need to have experienced developers involved in start up.
Pros
This software is widely used throughout the client base that we serve. The software is fairly robust, and can accommodate most facility management program needs.
Cons
The software is not very user friendly, partly because of the complexity and depth of possibilities when trouble shooting issues.

We are not currently using maximo any longer. We evaluated the program but decided to go in a different direction. By all means, give it a test run and see if it fits your needs.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
