Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"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."
"The product is quite flexible."
"One of our favorite features is the "Info-Zone", which provides operational intelligence in flight and in context to guide both business users and support teams to productivity."
"The solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"The best feature is the maintenance module, which is essentially an industry-specific workflow designed with a manufacturing module as per industry standards. It's very precise and specific without having complex functionalities. It's straightforward. Field Service Management is definitely a wonderful product that IFS has developed because it caters to field services. The energy and utility sectors can answer their business needs using the software."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"The most valuable feature for us is the integration between the HR Payroll and Financials modules"
"PeopleSoft is a good core system. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good."
"Very stable in terms of performance and scalability."
"The PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"Job data is a valuable feature."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"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."
"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."
"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 CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"I would like to see it become available again in Mexico."
"I'd like PeopleSoft to be like on the cloud and more mobile-friendly. If I try to access it from a cell phone, it's a bit difficult, so it would be great if PeopleSoft could improve these features."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"The UI and user experience are not great, and it's not as feature-rich as today's systems. Furthermore, our implementation does not include all the components we need, like payroll or some other functions."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
