Find out what your peers are saying about ServiceNow, BMC, Freshworks and others in IT Asset Management."The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"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."
"I like the connectivity and interfaces. In V10, it's easy to modify the interfaces and layouts, but it's becoming more complicated in the cloud. IFS is excellent at asset maintenance and incident management. They have specialized modules for IFS that cover incident and asset management and everything else connected to finance. The reporting in IFS is also easy to use."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"When it comes to financing, the solution has helped us to concentrate finance functions like accounting processes in one system. This includes about 70 internal entities around the world."
"The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"It is stable and scalable."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"It would be ideal if, in the future, the product could incorporate IoT and blockchain elements. We'd like to explore more of these types of features going forward."
"IFS uses Crystal Report mostly, which isn't too user-friendly. Developing reports isn't easy and requires a lot of dev time. Since SAP bought it, Crystal Report has become more complicated to use on IFS. You have a dashboard for reporting that is good, but it's incomplete. Most of our clients use Power BI or some additional tooling for BI."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The technical support my company receives from the implementation partners of the solution is not that great."
"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."
"IFS Applications can improve the reporting capabilities and increase the speed of feedback time in the IFS Applications. This would help with the overall performance of the solution and provide better experiences for customers."
"The support provided by IFS Applications has room for improvement. I'm based in Poland, and when my company had an issue, finding people from IFS to give my company the support it needed was difficult."
"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 technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
