We too are on 7.6.0.8. Currently, we find the MAS concurrent licensing (named user licensing fits us a whole lot better) model to be prohibitively expensive, so we await IBM's decision to offer named user licensing on MAS.
So, pros: the new mobile software looks great, optimistic about having access to other areas of Maximo like Transportation and Scheduler
cons: PRICE, new licensing model (you REALLY have to look at that to see how it affects you), new technology (e.g., OpenShift, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Kibana), replacements for Work Centers & Mobile customization tools are fully built yet

Subject: Maximo Versions
Hi Everybody,
I'm interested in finding out how many, IF any of the companies or organizations you're working for are planning in the near future on moving to version 8.4 MAS.
Right now the Org I'm with is on 7.6.0.8 and IBM has come to us with their options of upgrading to 7.6.1.2 or MAS 8.4.
We haven't found any of our company peers locally even interested in 8.4 yet so checking for a wider berth of groups here that may have it under consideration.
And any specific pros/cons?
Thanks.
