IBM Maximo Application Suite vs. Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM

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.

Oracle Agile is great for companies that need a way to manage their products and work with various resources in their department from developers, to PMs and UX designers. This is a great way to keep track of feature requests and shippable versions of the product. Implementation and user friendlessness is an issue with this tool so companies that have the budget for consulting or for additional resources to help implement and maintain will need those resources as it is necessary. Training resources should also be factored in by any institution wishing to implement this.

• 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.

• The overview page is dated as this UI has been in the works for many years - a very 'engineering dashboard'
• Unable to copy, paste, and modify workflows . Need to create from scratch
• Ongoing support for Oracle Agile is in question with the movement to Cloud technologies

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

As expected, good content and instructions

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.

In simple words Oracle Product Hub cloud is easy to set up and configure, we don't have to depend on anyone to set it up. It's that super easy. But to operate them we need to have proper training and needs to complete the essential certifications. But compared to others it's easy and will help in the business a lot more than others.

Cognos on its own is a great BI tool, but integration with Maximo is complex and could be better

• The gains provided by Oracle agile PLM have manifested themselves mostly in terms of time, since by being able to better organize and schedule our work we have been able to expand our ROI significantly, gaining around 900% of the investment made monthly, which leaves our ROI at 9g.
