Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"Some of the strengths are Enterprise Management Solutions and the series of Management solutions which is number one in Gartner's report and has been for the last five years."
"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 product is quite flexible."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"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."
"Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution."
"I like that one system covers everything."
"Order to cash and procure to pay process: They are valuable features because of their integration and flexibility."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution has other core processes that can be implemented with customers according to their needs."
"On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly."
"Valuable features include expense management and the accounting suite of products."
"The most valuable features are the financial-related capabilities."
"It is scalable."
"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."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"The support provided by IFS Applications has room for improvement. I'm based in Poland, and when my company had an issue, finding people from IFS to give my company the support it needed was difficult."
"The initial setup was a little complex."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"Needs more real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA."
"E-Business Suite's user experience and interface could be improved."
"HRMS analyzers should be automatically updated to be the most recent because Oracle support always asks for the latest version of the analyzer output."
"They should have a nicer way to handle very high volumes of data because we deal with really high volumes, and sometimes, we end up with performance issues."
"Not user friendly."
"A downside of Oracle E-Business Suite is its interface because it's less user-friendly than the latest cloud solutions. As an organization, Oracle now has more interest in cloud applications, so nowadays, it doesn't focus much on Oracle E-Business Suite, an on-premises solution, so this is another downside."
