From the Comparison Chart Between Maxisys Ultra and MaxiIM IM608:

Autel IM608 key program is better than Autel Ultra. If you're main to key programming, and hope has an advanced key programmer, then IM608 is best.
Maxisys Ultra could program the ECU of Benz and BMW, and have ECU coding function is a powerful ECU programmer and most advanced diagnostic scanner. And IM608 only could ECU code, could not program ECU of cars.

Maxisys Ultra has the scope built into it. IM608 has add-on scope, but it is very good.
Ultra also has an internal power supply. It has a rechargeable battery. When you unplug the VCMI, it stays ON so you can run a scope to it.
The scope is very quick and shows up on the monitor almost instantly. Pretty darn good for being wireless.
Ultra has a Topology map, scan vin, repair assist, Split-screen display, im608 does not.
As in Ultra vs IM608? If so then NO. Different tools for different requirements. MaxiIM is a key tool with standard diagnostics – Ultra is an advanced Scantool with MB/BMW ECU Programming including a 4 channel scope.
