Featured Reviews

Brendan Fisher - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"The product is quite flexible."
"There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products. This makes the UI a little bit easier to understand."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"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 demonstrable feature is the asset creation form, which is quite informative."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product enables us to track our assets."
"The documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be improved."
"The integration is a bit complex, and post-implementation support services need to be improved. They have a service center based out of Sri Lanka. The support aspect is good, but the response time is a little slower than we anticipated. In the next release, it would be better if Warehouse Management could be improvised. They have a product line that's a data warehouse management system, but it's still premature and requires a bit of enhancement."
"Documentation-wise, they need more."
"Sometimes from the sales perspective, clients don't always fully understand how large a task or a project they're getting involved in when they decide, "We're going to switch across to IFS." They could probably do a little bit more, maybe around preparing people for these projects."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"The solution’s depreciation calculation setup needs to be improved because it is slightly disintegrated."
"The UI and UX need severe improvements."
"The documentation of the solution needs to be improved. It would be helpful. Additionally, more analytics would."
"The product must improve the approval process of asset transfer and disposal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to SAP, the pricing for IFS Applications was very affordable. People using the solution would find that it's worth the money."
"We pay for a license to use the solution, which is not very expensive."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"I consider it to be a well-priced solution compared to other mid-range or high-end ERP solutions."
"There are varying license levels that you can purchase."
"There's an additional yearly cost for support."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"The product is not expensive."
