Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."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."
"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."
"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."
"Having a young talented programmer, during the six years of use, we were able to save around 75 000 EUR preparing simple modifications using customization rather than ordering them in IFS / Partner."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications are their intuitiveness and ease of use. The navigations are also straightforward, which makes it easy to train users. The feedback I always receive is that it is very user-friendly."
"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."
"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"ERP Cloud's most valuable features are general ledger, accounting, expense management, and procurement. These four functions are crucial."
"The best part of Oracle ERP Cloud is that everything can be found in a single place."
"I like that Oracle ERP Cloud has a lot of ready-to-use products, making it easy to adopt."
"Oracle ERP Cloud is a stable solution."
"The product has good functionality."
"I use Oracle ERP Cloud for implementation support."
"The solution is scalable and very stable. You don't need to worry about the underpinning infrastructure."
"Built-in business intelligence has real-time reporting features that are quite handy."
"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."
"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"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."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness."
"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 have had concerns about the security and flexibility of the application. The approach with Oracle ERP Cloud should be more holistic rather than user or computer-based."
"One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database."
"I would like to see Oracle improve the automation of data entry."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"It should be built with less complexity and more ability for clients to add screens."
"Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production."
"The tool must enable users to customize the reports."
"The expenses mobile app calculates different mileages than the URL version."
