Pros
"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."

More Agiloft Service Desk Suite Pros →

"What I like about IFS Applications is that it's easier to use and implement than SAP. I also like that the IFS Applications team is more flexible than the SAP team.""Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution.""The most valuable feature is the distribution module.""Having a young talented programmer, during the six years of use, we were able to save around 75 000 EUR preparing simple modifications using customization rather than ordering them in IFS / Partner.""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.""IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations.""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.""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."

Cons
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."

More Agiloft Service Desk Suite Cons →

"The user interface can be improved. When you're clicking through the screens, there are some icons or symbols that really need updating and would be more useful and noticeable if they are aesthetically pleasing.""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.""Aspects of HR and payroll could be better.""There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP.""Customization needs to be improved.""The solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness.""I have seen that one of the areas that my company has identified for improvement might be the rental management capabilities within the solution.""IFS Applications can improve the reporting capabilities and increase the speed of feedback time in the IFS Applications. This would help with the overall performance of the solution and provide better experiences for customers."

  • "Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
  • "Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."
  • "Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."

They have one licensing model, but if you want to have a module-specific license, they provide component-based licenses. Unlike SAP and Oracle, it doesn't have different levels of licensing. It's one level of licensing."
  • "There's an additional yearly cost for support."
  • "There are varying license levels that you can purchase."
  • "IFS Applications are competitive in terms of pricing compared to other vendors, such as SAP, Oracle, and Epicor. They are generally cheaper, especially for licensing costs."
