"The product is quite flexible."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"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."
"Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution."
"Dynamics AX provides a lot of functionality."
"Almost all of the features that we use are efficient. Live master planning successfully handles all of our company's requirements."
"If anyone is familiar with Microsoft products then they can handle it easily."
"We're using the solution for financial modules, specifically focusing on consolidation, financial configuration, management reporting for warehousing, sales. Most of the features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are good. The overall structure and functions are great. The solution is stable. The initial setup is straightforward."

"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."
"I have seen that one of the areas that my company has identified for improvement might be the rental management capabilities within the solution."
"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."

"Technical support could be improved."

"Change management could be better."
"The UI has room for improvement and can be more user-friendly."
"The general speed of the solution needs improvement."
"Our version has performance issues so it gets stuck and is slow."
