Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"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."
"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"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."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"We like the web portal or interface, which is great. The user experience is much better than the current traditional SAP landscape."
"The ability to access and analyze data in real-time has significantly improved our reporting efficiency."
"SAP S4HANA Cloud is one of the best products in enterprise solutions, especially in manufacturing, retail, logistics, wholesaling, and distribution."
"S/4HANA Cloud is very stable."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of SAP S/4HANA Cloud are the ease of use from the cloud, CapEx analysis report, and everything being connected together well."
"SAP S4HANA Cloud is stable, and its computational power and speed have improved in later versions."
"S4HANA Cloud is reliable and accurate. Our existing team also has expertise in SAP, so it was simple to migrate to the cloud solution. S4HANA Cloud has advantages because we don't need to maintain the infrastructure, and there aren't any huge upfront costs."
"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 solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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 CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"There have been some pain points in moving from SAP to S/4HANA, but the company seems to be staying on top of those issues."
"It's a huge software, and they need to make it look less complex and more user friendly. They need to work on user stories and user experiences."
"The price is mainly suitable for larger companies, even then, there may be other, cheaper solutions. Additionally, this solution is the result of multiple acquisitions leaving room for there to be issues with performance."
"The solution could improve by adding a planning model, such as BPC. Additionally, if we need to make changes in the profit center it has to be done manually. It is not connected to the cost center."
"The pricing is way over any of the other ERPs, and the bank integrations are not perfect. There are a lot of costs for other implementations and integrations with Salesforce and other systems. Rather than being a fully-fledged system on its own like most of the other ERPs, it relies too much on developed integrations by the implementation partner."
"I'd like to share my experience during the migration from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA in the cloud. My primary challenge in this migration was the requirement to open a ticket for every request during the project phase, not during operational or post go-live phases. Despite this, I must acknowledge that overall, SAP has proven to be very reliable. To clarify the issue, after migrating to SAP S/4HANA, I opted to host my SAP solution on the private cloud by converting the license to SAP Cloud. The drawback I encountered during the project phase was the insistence on opening a ticket or service request for any issue or query I had within the project's activities. Looking ahead, I hope that SAP streamlines and simplifies this process for future customers, making it more user-friendly and efficient than my experience."
"When it comes to the SAP PM material's module, it would be nice to see the inclusion of predictive analytics."
"It's not easy to facilitate the solution between us and SAP, so we have had to leave those issues open."
