"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."

"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"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 user interface can be improved. When you're clicking through the screens, there are some icons or symbols that really need updating and would be more useful and noticeable if they are aesthetically pleasing."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"The integration is a bit complex, and post-implementation support services need to be improved. They have a service center based out of Sri Lanka. The support aspect is good, but the response time is a little slower than we anticipated. In the next release, it would be better if Warehouse Management could be improvised. They have a product line that's a data warehouse management system, but it's still premature and requires a bit of enhancement."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"Technical support could 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."
