Project Executive at GT Services LLC
Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product
Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.
Thangaraj Ramasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Arcwide
Has supported project management and business customization through strong modular flexibility
The cloud feature in IFS Cloud Platform is predominantly valuable, especially the enterprise asset management module, which IFS has very good business into, along with strong finance, project management, and supply chain management modules; these are the major modules that are performing well with IFS, and the cloud options along with user-friendly customizations for any technical developments are additional advantages. The integration of IoT with IFS Cloud Platform is performing well, enabling us to integrate with predominantly any third party through the standard inbuilt connectors that are readily available, and if we need to customize the integration, we can certainly do that too.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product paid for itself within the first six months of use, and after about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"Because this product is infinitely customizable and easily developed, we are using it for other applications."
"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."
"The solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"Our ROI is 4.5 times our investment in 18 months."
"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products."
"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."
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"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."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"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 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."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"Pricing is comparatively or sufficiently higher than maybe all other IT solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."
"The pricing of the solution may appear to be expensive for smaller companies with only tens of users; however, for larger and mid-size industrial companies, IFS is able to win deals and the pricing is competitive in the market."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"I consider it to be a well-priced solution compared to other mid-range or high-end ERP solutions."
"IFS Applications is expensive software, but it's on par with SAP and Oracle. It's for large enterprises and government entities and not for small and medium-sized enterprises. 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."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."
"We pay for a license to use the solution, which is not very expensive."
