Robust, customizable, and modern

IFS is a very large and complex software, and implementation of IFS can be challenging and may lead to a difficult lengthy project. It can take between 12 and 24 months in some cases to deploy. I have found that not all clients are fully aware of how big the task is that they're undertaking when they make a decision to move to software like this. Companies need to be more aware of the complexity of an ERP implementation project and while I fully recommend moving to IFS, it is not easy and does require business change when adopting an ERP solution. New features are a difficult ask - I work across multiple industries and everyone would probably choose a different feature. Maybe BIM in Construction or Customs link-ups for importers/exporters.

I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."

"There tends not to be a massive weakness in the product itself, as weaknesses can quickly be resolved in the next patch or the next release."

"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."

"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."

"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 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."

"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."

More IFS Cloud Platform pros

"The solution is easy to setup."

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."

Cons

"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."

"We have upgraded to the latest version right now. We have issues with the quality. We tried to enroll in their Evergreen program which was meant to help us adopt any service update or anything that the tool’s providers come up with."

"IFS uses Crystal Report mostly, which isn't too user-friendly. Developing reports isn't easy and requires a lot of dev time. Since SAP bought it, Crystal Report has become more complicated to use on IFS. You have a dashboard for reporting that is good, but it's incomplete. Most of our clients use Power BI or some additional tooling for BI."

"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."

"There are some stability issues."

"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."

"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."

"I have seen that one of the areas that my company has identified for improvement might be the rental management capabilities within the solution."

More IFS Cloud Platform cons

"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."

"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I consider it to be a well-priced solution compared to other mid-range or high-end ERP solutions."

"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."

"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."

"There are varying license levels that you can purchase."

"The additional cost that comes with the solution includes the overhead of the people who are trying to fix the tool issues. These people are trying to reproduce the issue and report it to the technical support and testing with them which is huge. It is the cost of quality in the end."

"It is better to buy implementation services from IFS than from partners"

"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."

"The product is reasonably priced."
