"Maximo Streamlines Compliance Activities/Issues with Anywhere and Spatial."

3.5/5

What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?

Maximo has significantly improved work management for our field employees and compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?

We have been unable to get Maximo Anywhere and Maximo Spatial working. We had made some strides in getting Spatial working, but then that got broken with a Maximo update to the product. IBM doesn't seem to support the Anywhere and Spatial products like they do the main Maximo product. Currently bugs in both products are delaying/preventing a rollout.

Maximo now has a Cognos offering, but little is shared about how that can be integrated with our existing Cognos implementation. In fact, I have been unable to get information from Maximo, and the Cognos team differs to the Maximo team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would like to further enable the field with mobility and access to our GIS/PODS data, but the Anywhere and Spatial products are not working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great all-in-one solution"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Maximo Application Suite?

Maximo has helped enable our business to have an all-in-one solution for Asset Management and Tools Calibration. Similarly, Maximo is one of the few (if not the only) EAM system which is compliant with the FDA 21 Part 11 (electronic records and digital signatures). Coming from a medical device industry, this has been paramount for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Maximo Application Suite?

In order to fully tap into all of the capabilities Maximo offers, you need to add various other "bolt-ons" or additional solutions offered by IBM. Would really like to see these included in the base Maximo offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
