"Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"The product is quite flexible."
"There tends not to be a massive weakness in the product itself, as weaknesses can quickly be resolved in the next patch or the next release."
"IFS Applications' best feature is the user-friendly interface that has a .NET Framework application in the front end and an Oracle database and WebLogic middleware."
"The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are the dashboards, ease of use, and flexibility."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is a stable solution."
"All of the features are valuable, depending on where you implement them. I've done implementations in 60 countries, across 86 different companies and groups, and each company has a different reason for why they want to use it. Every single feature that I've implemented has been successful, and for some companies, where they didn't use the functionality, they have moved to external products or they've integrated into other applications."
"Our data is much more manageable than before."
"It is a scalable solution. There are more than 5,000 end users in my organization."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is its simplicity of accounting and receiving reports. The solution is similar to Microsoft Excel, and that similarity is good. All the functions of Microsoft Dynamics are user-friendly."
"The initial setup is easy - because it stands on Microsoft offerings, it's simple and intuitive to use."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"We would like to see AI-driven CSI functions built into the tool that would allow us to quickly tie our improvement goals to metrics and activities, so Assyst will suggest the next steps to help us get closer to our goals."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"I have seen that one of the areas that my company has identified for improvement might be the rental management capabilities within the solution."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"For a big company like us with millions of transactions, the scalability isn't enough."
"The performance and virtual machine backup is not good with this solution and need improvements."
"In Thailand, the support here could be better. The process to get an answer is too long."
"It could be more stable."
"The solution's event management can be improved."
"The solution is not best suited for larger-scale businesses."
"Any request that had come from the website had to go through an e-form which was then plugged into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. There was no direct data capture. That was the pain point, where clients had to build e-forms, and that caused delays in transactions and getting information."
"In the next release, I would like to see a quality check module - Navision doesn't have one, and the industry very much requires it."
