Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"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 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."
"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."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten since it is an extremely scalable solution that can be used for various use cases with thousands of users."
"What I like about IFS Applications is that it's easier to use and implement than SAP. I also like that the IFS Applications team is more flexible than the SAP team."
"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 breadcrumb approach to navigation in PeopleSoft is good. nVision is also a good supplement."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is ERP application information."
"The customizations allow us to come up with a lot of complex labor rules. In the Philippines, there's a lot of different kinds of rules you need to be in compliance with. The solution offers up a lot of flexibility and customization that is perfect for our region's requirements."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."
"The synchronization of business processes, and the software, streamlined the shared service departments to run 40% leaner."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."
"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"PeopleSoft can improve by having proper connectors. It's very difficult to change some interfaces with the other systems."
"This solution could be improved by lowering the cost of support."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
