Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, BMC, Freshworks and others in IT Asset Management."IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications in the latest version are the new user Arena interface. It's from Apps 9, but it brings more flexibility in usage, especially around different devices, such as mobile usage, which doesn't restrict you from using a computer. We are it for the HR side, and it's proving quite good. It has a new modern feel to it similar to a standard cloud application which enhances the user experience."
"All the modules are valuable in their own right, but everything has to go through the ERP. IFS has done an excellent job integrating the various modules to complete these processes. My expertise is in the finance module, but I have used the other verticals. It's an all-around good product."
"The solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications are their intuitiveness and ease of use. The navigations are also straightforward, which makes it easy to train users. The feedback I always receive is that it is very user-friendly."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness."
"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"Sometimes from the sales perspective, clients don't always fully understand how large a task or a project they're getting involved in when they decide, "We're going to switch across to IFS." They could probably do a little bit more, maybe around preparing people for these projects."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"I'm a business analyst, so I do a lot of customer-facing work. I take calls from businesses I have to troubleshoot. One thing that bugs me is the error messages you get from IFS. If I get an error message, I have to dig to find the cause because, often, the error message doesn't precisely describe the problem. It'll hint about where the problem lies, but you have to work to find the root cause. It doesn't help in my situation. You expect an error message to point to the field or what is causing the issue."
"We have upgraded to the latest version right now. We have issues with the quality. We tried to enroll in their Evergreen program which was meant to help us adopt any service update or anything that the tool’s providers come up with."
"The next version has already been released, and some of the technical things are a little bit behind the curve in development. This is specifically security, maintenance, security role maintenance, and creation. This is in their new product, called IFS Cloud."
"There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
