It's very precise and specific without having complex functionalities. It's straightforward.

"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
