User Testimonials
	IBM Maximo Application Suite	NEXGEN Asset Management
Likelihood to Recommend	I would recommend Maximo to organizations with the patience and budget for long-term returns. It is not an easy platform to learn at first, but if you invest the time, it pays you back tenfold. It is not for people looking for a simple solution; this is a tool built for serious asset management. Incentivized CS Caleb Szydlo Senior Frontend Developer Read full review	In my opinion, this product was designed for water/wastewater application, and my recommendations would be to other utilities. But, NEXGEN Asset Management has developed versatility in its modules to accommodate multiple industries. NEXGEN University has been a great tool to help me educate end-users with deployment. Also, I have been able to use the knowledge base articles to resolve small issues and educate myself on the functionalities incorporated within the software.

Pros	Extensive asset tracking and management. IBM Maximo is extremely capable of handling all sorts of assets so you can track every detail and part of the lifecycle of an asset inside an organization. Highly customizable. If the broad array of possibilities inside IBM Maximo still isn't suited for your specific application, it is possible to customize it to a very high degree so it can fit the needs of your organization. Preventive maintenance and services. With IBM Maximo, it is possible to schedule all sorts of preventive maintenance for your equipment, maximizing the uptime of your systems and machinery and minimizing unforeseen events. Incentivized Pedro Henrique de Almeida Intern Read full review	Preventive maintenance scheduling Vertical asset hierarchies by class and location Allows customization of asset attributes through User Defined Fields Allows multiple editing of work orders, service requests, and inspections to populate commonly used fields quickly. Offers timely and helpful support assistance. DM Deena Malone-Collom CMMS Administrator Read full review
Cons	IBM Control Desk support is not the best, and if it is present, its assistance is minimal. The importance of documentation is something that IBM Control Desk has also slightly ignored, and it facilitates learning. Conservative in integrating with some other extensions or software. Incentivized CN Charlie Ndogo Cost Accountant Read full review	Am currently having issues with getting PM's to generate Customer service is great 75% of the time, but there are more difficult issues on the occasion that it takes me a while to hear back on, and I have to check-in Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	IBM MAS is the leader in the EAM space. They continue to evolve with the newest technology to stay on the forefront of cutting edge asset management. Their continued international growth and market share demonstrate the effectiveness of the product, its ease of use, and the return on investment of new functionalities. Incentivized Jess Williams, PSM I, A-CSPO Product Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	The IBM Maximo Application Suite is well known for inventory management solutions. This solution is in use by many corporations but mostly I have seen its use in Ports, defense and aerospace industries. Some of the benefits are 1. asset tracking is amazing 2. Maintenance cost is less 3. Reduced inspection costs 4. Less downtime 5. It allows customization 6 Simplify data management 7. Highly adaptable Incentivized Muhammad Imtiaz IT Business analyst Read full review	It is super easy to use and very easy to share, the only downside is you need to invest in training people for it just like any other software, I advise using a mix of in-person hands on training and web tools, because the web tools dont seem to be adequate for everyone Incentivized Dave Bevington Director of Automation Read full review
Performance	Depends on DB tuning, Query builds etc Incentivized Jan-Willem Steur Senior Product Design/Development Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I have regularly contacted IBM Support to report issues and raise requests for issues we face during project implementations. The response from them has overall been good and to the point, and they get back to us within a day or 2 and guide us through the process of fixing it or providing an interim fix of the product Incentivized Nivin George Senior Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
In-Person Training	As expected, good content and instructions Incentivized Jan-Willem Steur Senior Product Design/Development Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	Implementation of IBM MAS as a service provider has been easy. The functionality in the OEM space has been the best of its class with all related modules and application subject to maintenance Incentivized Nivin George Senior Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	SAP Plant Manager. We’re working a lot in critical infrastructure, so in Europe it’s not allowed by law to put asset data in the cloud, especially when it’s connected to geolocation. SAP is moving to the cloud, and IT is a cloud-only solution. So that’s the advantage of Maximo, and that’s why we’re sticking with it. Incentivized RK Rastko Kadijevic Regional Business Developer Read full review	Nexgen is much more widely use and required less upfront investment in training. it was also less costly than Upkeep. The marketing was about the same for both, but it seemed like a simple decision as one of our key people had used nexgen previously and had good things to say about it Incentivized Dave Bevington Director of Automation Read full review
Scalability	Cognos on its own is a great BI tool, but integration with Maximo is complex and could be better Incentivized Jan-Willem Steur Senior Product Design/Development Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	A Significant improvement in Tracking and Managing Assets with a History of PM Work Orders, Asset transfers, and maintenance costs linked to procurement and inventory usage Record accurate labor work hours with proper people management while not missing any schedules and appointments With the Cost Management and Budgeting application, it has allowed budget controllers to make timely and proper decisions in preparing budgets, booking costs, track commitments and over commitments, and make deliverable forecasts Incentivized Nivin George Senior Consultant Read full review	Decrease travel time by reviewing groups of work orders for scheduling multiple jobs at one location. Improved work order completion rate by giving us an effective work status review tool. Improved communication between all parties by having updated information in one location (on the work order).
