We performed a comparison between IFS Cloud Platform and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"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."
"I like the connectivity and interfaces. In V10, it's easy to modify the interfaces and layouts, but it's becoming more complicated in the cloud. IFS is excellent at asset maintenance and incident management. They have specialized modules for IFS that cover incident and asset management and everything else connected to finance. The reporting in IFS is also easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"S4HANA is relatively stable."
"It's reliable and the performance is good."
"It seamlessly integrates with all the SAP Business Suite products such as IoT, AI, Analytics and all other SaaS solutions. The product is very robust and comprehensive."
"The solution is flexible, has a lot of functionality, and has the ability to deliver more security than other comparable solutions."
"The functionality of SAP S4HANA is very good when comparing it to others, such as Oracle, Microsoft, and other ERP solutions."
"A user-friendly UI with good documentation."
"SAP S/4HANA dominates around 70 percent of the ERP market in Chile, and I believe this isn't merely coincidental. I've always maintained that if someone believes SAP S/4HANA lacks a certain functionality, they haven't explored it thoroughly. However, there's a widespread lack of understanding regarding its full potential and how to configure it."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA is the innovational process. We are able to receive more efficiency or accuracy than previous versions."
"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."
"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."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"This product would be improved by adding more reports."
"In an upcoming release of SAP S4HANA, chain management should be easier."
"There should be an easier way to migrate customers from all versions to SAP S/4HANA."
"The common issues being raised right now by the end users are mostly related to the usability."
"SAP S/4HANA needs to bring a feature that allows a great quantity of data compression"
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"A virtual machine could exist to make everything available on a single deployment."
"The theory-side of the solution needs to be improved."
