Featured Reviews

Thangaraj Ramasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rajendra Karad - PeerSpot reviewer
Platform excels across departments but requires more focus on integration and IT management features
Kaseya's focus is on something else and is not aligned to the business model we are into, and the enhancements which we are expecting are not happening on their platform or their products. The enhancements are very limited. Multi-tenancy was lacking in Kaseya Vorex. Tenancy was not 100% there in Kaseya Vorex. The IT Asset Management feature was very limited. The Service Desk was also limited because it is not a full-fledged ITSM; it was a professional service automation platform. Integrated communication tools were somewhat lacking in Kaseya. Multi-channel collaboration integrations were not there. The Service Desk was not in complete compliance with the ITIL framework.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"The product is quite flexible."
"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 solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution."
"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 most valuable features of IFS Applications in the latest version are the new user Arena interface. It's from Apps 9, but it brings more flexibility in usage, especially around different devices, such as mobile usage, which doesn't restrict you from using a computer. We are it for the HR side, and it's proving quite good. It has a new modern feel to it similar to a standard cloud application which enhances the user experience."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
"Kaseya Vorex is a comprehensive platform with a service desk, project module, CRM, and a complete finance model with auto billing."
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if, in the future, the product could incorporate IoT and blockchain elements. We'd like to explore more of these types of features going forward."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"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."
"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."
"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are varying license levels that you can purchase."
"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."
"Compared to SAP, the pricing for IFS Applications was very affordable. People using the solution would find that it's worth the money."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."
"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."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"There's an additional yearly cost for support."
"The product is reasonably priced."
