Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"The product is quite flexible."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"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."
"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 functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"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."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"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."
"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."
"We have upgraded to the latest version right now. We have issues with the quality. We tried to enroll in their Evergreen program which was meant to help us adopt any service update or anything that the tool’s providers come up with."
"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."
