Frequently asked questions
Where is my data hosted, and how does each tool handle DSGVO compliance?
osapiens HUB runs on ISO 27001-certified servers in Germany and France, ensuring full DSGVO compliance and EU data residency. IBM Maximo offers flexible deployment (on-premise, private or public cloud), but its SaaS public-cloud option may use multi-tenant environments with shared infrastructure, which can complicate strict DSGVO requirements for some European buyers.
How do the pricing and implementation timelines compare?
osapiens HUB starts at €29 per user per month with a freemium tier for up to five users; implementation typically takes 2–4 weeks. IBM Maximo begins around $164 per user per month, requires custom licensing, and can take 6–18 months to deploy, especially for large enterprises.
Which tool is better for SAP users?
osapiens HUB includes a certified SAP PM/SD/MM connector with real-time bidirectional sync, making it a strong fit for SAP-centric maintenance teams. IBM Maximo also integrates with SAP but is not natively optimised for it and often requires additional middleware.
Who should choose osapiens HUB, and who should stick with IBM Maximo?
osapiens HUB suits European SMEs (10–2,000+ employees) that need fast, DSGVO-compliant maintenance software with SAP integration. IBM Maximo is designed for large enterprises in asset-heavy industries (utilities, oil & gas, transport) that require deep asset lifecycle management, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and can handle longer rollouts and higher costs.
Can I migrate existing Maximo data to osapiens HUB?
Yes, osapiens offers migration tools and services to transfer asset registers, maintenance histories, and master data from IBM Maximo. The process is typically completed within the same 2–4 week implementation window.
