"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."

"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."
"The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"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."
"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."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"It would be ideal if, in the future, the product could incorporate IoT and blockchain elements. We'd like to explore more of these types of features going forward."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"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."
