Avis clients sur Maximo

Its one among best product for EAM

Avantages :

It talks its real life use as product it gives in depth functionality for managing enterprise assets. It has also added lots of industry and domain specific add on and kept the versions upto date with technology. Its in Gartner magic quadrant as leader for over decade now proving its brand and industry recognition.

Inconvénients :

Maximizing has Streep Learning curve

6+ Years. Procurement, Work Order Processing, HSE Module, RCFA, Defect, Scheduler

Commentaires : Maximo allows for quick navigation and isolation of critical plant issues through Work Order hierarchies and linked modules. This CMMS gives the user a quick centralized software for all maintenance and procurement tasks. None of the information or processes are daunting, and it does not require a master computer user in order to handle the flow of the program. Maximo is growing and updates are continuing to come out making this CMMS considerably easier as time progresses be it Bug Fixes and improvements, to new use cases such as Maximo Graphical Scheduler and RCFA modules etc. Prices are low, and upkeep of the software and customer service is high!

Avantages :

I am all for turn key evolutions. Maximo CMMS offers turn key availability for a digital world. The CMMS Software can do anything and everything for a maintenance facility all in one combined platform. The out of the box settings and modules are quick and effective, and easy to navigate. Maximo's ability to link between various modules for documentation purposes is vital in proper communication and trending.

Inconvénients :

User UI interface capabilities and modifications are limited. It takes an act of Congress to get the module layouts changed as they are controlled internally by another entity. This should be a user level ability to customize their interfaces and placements of blocks etc. But that is just being picky.

Maximo is a complex system with many usable functions; however, needs simplifying for end users.

Commentaires : We mostly use the work order tracking. History of assets are the greatest benefits. We would like to move more into enterprise asset management with it tho.

Avantages :

1. The variety of functionality makes it valuable for many different user's needs. 2. It is fairly simple to reconfigure, and hide or create fields.

Inconvénients :

1. Having to buy the functions individually makes it cost prohibitive to roll out new functions for testing and for a smaller groups of users. 2..There is a lot of white space with small font on the interface. Not good use of the space. 3. There is no way to make changes to records in the list view; a user has to enter each record individually, which is time consuming. There should be a way to see all the searched for records and make changes with find and replace similar to Excel in a spreadsheet format. 4. Sorting should also be able to be done with column x, then column y, then column z. I could give more feedback, but haven't the time right now. Sorry.

Overall the best Enterprise Platform, yet still struggles with ease of use for many.

Commentaires : The best enterprise level system, capable of scaling up to ANY demand put upon it.

Avantages :

Scalability and options. As previously stated the options seem almost endless, and for the most part are easily configured, and reconfigured to fit needs of the user. This is taking into consideration the user is database savvy and understands the data sets structure. The common everyday user typically doesn't require this level of use, and slowly IBM is getting a better GUI with the ongoing development of the Work center platform and Maximo-x.

Inconvénients :

Some end users still find the overall system intimidating, and therefore struggle with use. Making the system more user friendly, i.e. WorkCenters, solves part of that issue. The other is the need for an overlay that helps, and/or limits use. A product like Rules Manager enables that capability and has been a lifesaver with MaxAssist, and Rules Manager to keep people in focus of the task at hand.

I've working in the work order maintenance, inventory controls, and administrative roles.

Commentaires : It makes it easy to monitor and react to all operational functions here at work. We have 700 users connected through Maximo. It improves plant and departmental efficiencies across the board.

Avantages :

I like how versatile and (relatively) easy it is to use. It tracks all historical data for trending and analysis. We use most of the applications, which allow cross-training and effective working environments.

Inconvénients :

Some of the customizations and configurations are difficult to implement. We have made several modifications, as the out of the box system needed a lot of work. Sometimes it runs slower than it should, and printing out of Maximo can be painful as well.

Maximo is a very complex software package.

Avantages :

It allows the user base to customize both inside and outside the software environment. It covers many use cases that most organizations have.

Inconvénients :

It doesn't have a great on boarding process for new users or those who do use the software and want to utilize another aspect of the program.

My only use so far is printing out POs to match invoices.

Commentaires : It works great for what my needs are. Looking forward to learning a lot more.

Avantages :

Our company will soon be utilizing more of Maximo that will make paying invoices much easier than our current accounting system.

Inconvénients :

My knowledge of Maximo is very limited because I have not been trained on anything but creating a PO and printing them.

It is not flexible enough for the end user

Commentaires : Work order tracking.

Avantages :

There is not any feature that is a stand out compared to products I've used in the past. I do like the users home page with favorite applications but that is hard to get set up. I do like being able to see other facility's inventory.

Inconvénients :

Hard for the end user to customize views. The Work Order Tracking page need to allow the user to customize the columns. The left Tool bars are not intuitive. I do not like having separate "Action Items". These are really Work Orders. I do not like having to track both.

Maximo is a powerful configurable tool that has a ton of depth and features.

Commentaires : Ability to schedule, maintain, track, document, budget, analyze, report, etc maintenance and asset tracking operations.

Avantages :

The ability to use its tools to greatly configure maximo far beyond its out of the box capabilities.

Inconvénients :

The initial difficulty of setting up including setting up the websphere environment feels like it was designed to convince you to pay IBM or one of their partners to do it for you, or use their SaaS solutions instead.

Maximo is a great software, very user friendly

Avantages :

The software is very easy to use, it's very user friendly. Someone who's never used the software before could easily learn and use this the first day.

Inconvénients :

The cost, always the cost. I hate buying software, but if I have to buy software, it better run as well as MAXIMO

Not easy to navigate

Avantages :

Holds several items to choose from Holds several items to choose from and will be easier to upgrade if the company would get information from there employees to help improve the system.

Inconvénients :

Hard to navigate Holds several items to choose from and will be easier to upgrade if the company would get information from there employees to help improve the system.

Maximo is the best CMMS software, but it does come at a price.

Commentaires : Maximo enables our customers to track anything and everything they could possibly need.

Avantages :

You can build anything with Maximo and integrate it with just about anything else. I always tell people to think of Maximo as a platform, not a CMMS. It's a platform that someone (IBM) has already built almost everything you need for a CMMS, but if you think it's missing something, you can easily and quickly add it.

Inconvénients :

Maximo's user interface still has some catching up to do with more modern web apps. IBM is currently working on newer "Work Centers" to replace "Start Centers" with added functionality, but it has not been fully implemented yet. Setup and configuration can still be complicated and require the help of consultants.

Highly functional and basic use for WOs is very easy, more technical abilities requires training.

Avantages :

Being able to download to excel is great, tracking of previous work is easy, nice that it is a one stop shop of purchasing/inventory/maintenance/safety/environmental reporting.

Inconvénients :

The search engine function is cumbersome, unless you know exactly what something in inventory is called/named in the system it is almost impossible to find on a generic search. Perhaps this is only because of how it was set up locally or maybe I just need some user tips from power users. Either way, that is the most frustrating part for me when finding parts.

37 yrs in generation equipment engineering & maintenance

Avantages :

Ease of use, reporting, mobility, cause codes, corrective action codes, linear asset management, ease of constructing bill of materials, integration of supply chain, compatible units, integration to field design tool

Inconvénients :

Having multiple interfaces to integrate with financials, no standard integration to data historians or payroll system, no standard integration to prioerty accounting system to map asserts, having to enter time in multiple systems, no standard integration to P6

My experience with Maximo as an end user dates back to the early 90's with version 3.0.

Commentaires : Regimented and disciplined work management processes and quantifiable data for analysis.

Avantages :

Although Maximo has robust capabilities and functionality to support all aspects of operations, maintenance, and engineering in a very broad set of industries, I believe the configuration tools are what sets Maximo apart from the competition.

Inconvénients :

The ability to configure Maximo to meet just about any EAM business challenge is sometimes a double-edged sword in that the ease of use design features are sometimes lost in the complexity of sophisticated application configurations.

We use Maximo for multiple Federal customers

Avantages :

The software can be tailored to fit any special requirements. We have tailored our product to even except customer surveys.

Inconvénients :

The software is very expensive and you have to have a Maximo expert in house to manage the product and customization's.

Maximo implementer for 14 years - great product!!

Commentaires : My career has been completely focused on this product for the last ten years.

Avantages :

the flexibility and functionality of the software allows us to configure and modify the software to meet the needs of the organization.

Inconvénients :

The cost of the product is too high, being in this industry for over 10 years, It is one of the biggest concerns for the end users - the maintenance and per user licensing is too expensive.

Maximo is a powerful tool and can do so much to help your company maximize it's full potential.

Avantages :

Ease of use compared to other similar software. User friendly. Powerful, yet not overwhelming. Many features and functionalities. Great work management and asset management tool

Inconvénients :

Reporting is not as user friendly. The 2013 excel version in 7.6 is not as clean as we'd like. Can be expensive to customize. It's best use use out of the box version.

A very positive experience. Maximo allows us to do a lot more than we were able to before.

Commentaires : An enterprise solution that helps create standards across our organization.

Avantages :

It fits our industry very well and seems to be compatible with other software. End-users seem happy with what it has to offer.

Inconvénients :

Licensing costs are a little high compared to some of their competition. I think that IBM could do a better job at negotiating license fees than what I have experienced.

Maximo is a very useful tool for work order tracking and asset management

Avantages :

I love that it can be tailored to meet our needs and you don't need to stick with the "out of the box" Maximo. I also love its reporting capabilities, which again can be tailored for our specific needs.

Inconvénients :

The search function in Maximo is horrible. You have to type your criteria in EXACTLY as it appears in Maximo or you don't get any results. If there any typos or errors in Maximo your search will yield no results. It really needs to be more user friendly.

This is most closely aligned with ITIL methodology. Very sophisticated tool and easy to use.

Commentaires : It has been easy now to implement all ITIL policies into our IT infrastructure services

Avantages :

Its easy to use navigation and its very close alignment with ITIL policies. This is fast to use and have very fine customization ability.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes, it becomes too complex to learn the navigation. Also, it requires too much admin control.

I find Maximo to be a valuable tool in my position as a purchasing agent.

Commentaires : It makes my job easier.

Avantages :

I like that it is easy it is to locate data and create spreadsheets of that data. I also like that I can switch from one module to the next easily, and can view related work orders and purchase requisitions.

Inconvénients :

I really don't have any issues with this software. I would like to have a field in the invoice module that shows who needs to approve the invoice.

Icon usage would be an upgrade over single line wording to navigate.

Avantages :

Quick reference to my recent work, easily search for history of various jobs performed, quick in and out for work order writing

Inconvénients :

Overall clutter in several tasks. Could be simplified with usage of icons. Have to navigate through multiple steps to get to one description.

Pretty Good Asset Management Solution

Commentaires : Once you get the hang of it and learn what you need it to do, it handles everything it needs too. That being said, getting up to speed with it was a bumpy ride

Avantages :

It is pretty full featured, it takes care of anything you need it to. From PMs to job plans to spare part management, it can handle what we need it to for our plant.

Inconvénients :

It has a steep learning curve, it's hard to learn. It can also create duplicate entries easily

It is very powerful, but can be big and cumbersome to use and manage. The install had challenges.

Avantages :

Maximo is flexible and has the ability to configure each piece of the system to meet the needs of customer. There are also better APIs now to integrate other systems.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes it takes a lot of work to do little things in the system. To enter one thing it takes many clicks. I understand the the complexity of the system is what leads to this, but sometimes users want something more simple. I see that the work centers are being introduced to address this.
