Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"When it comes to financing, the solution has helped us to concentrate finance functions like accounting processes in one system. This includes about 70 internal entities around the world."
"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."
"The best feature is the maintenance module, which is essentially an industry-specific workflow designed with a manufacturing module as per industry standards. It's very precise and specific without having complex functionalities. It's straightforward. Field Service Management is definitely a wonderful product that IFS has developed because it caters to field services. The energy and utility sectors can answer their business needs using the software."
"The solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"All the modules are valuable in their own right, but everything has to go through the ERP. IFS has done an excellent job integrating the various modules to complete these processes. My expertise is in the finance module, but I have used the other verticals. It's an all-around good product."
"The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"There's a moderate amount of scalability available."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is that it fulfills our requirements. We haven't had any issues with performance."
"Technical support is very good."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics AX are field services and the vendor collaboration portal. Both of the features are very good."
"Almost all of the features that we use are efficient. Live master planning successfully handles all of our company's requirements."
"The installation is extremely simple, and I have had no problems with it."
"The response time of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the manufacturing module. It addresses our product costing for tuna canning."
"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 solution's initial setup process was complex...The technical support my company receives from the implementation partners of the solution is not that great."
"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 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."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"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."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"If I had to add something in the next release, it would probably be a mobile application for a sister application of Dynamics 365; not the ERP but the Dynamics 365 HR solution. It would definitely help if we could have Microsoft or a Microsoft partner introduce a mobile application for it."
"The support here in Turkey could be better. However, the international support is good."
"It could be more scalable and stable. It would also be better if the interface were more integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem because 2012 is not really integrated."
"The database requires a huge CPU and memory resources."
"The integration could improve for the future."
"There should be the capability for users to enhance the application by using a low-code or no-code product from the Microsoft family."
"They should include some modules related to solving customer problems or resolving support tickets from our customers — like a help desk for ERPs."
"The user interface could be better."
