We performed a comparison between IFS Cloud Platform and Microsoft Dynamics AX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"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."
"One of our favorite features is the "Info-Zone", which provides operational intelligence in flight and in context to guide both business users and support teams to productivity."
"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."
"The product is quite flexible."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications are their intuitiveness and ease of use. The navigations are also straightforward, which makes it easy to train users. The feedback I always receive is that it is very user-friendly."
"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 overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"Supply Chain Management is an excellent feature."
"AX is nearly a Tier One product, so implementations are long, but there's a lot of flexibility. Also, the ability to handle different issues found in larger organizations."
"The most valuable feature for us is the manufacturing module. It addresses our product costing for tuna canning."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics AX is that it fulfills our requirements. We haven't had any issues with performance."
"The performance is good."
"Flexibility is the best feature. Because we have the source code, we can develop our ideas. It enables us to develop new functions."
"The most valuable feature I've found is the UI functionality."
"It is easy to use, and it has a great UI. It has very well-structured modules. In terms of setup and configuration, they're logically placed, which makes it easy for any user to pick up information and learn more about the system, rather than just be plain key users of that business operating system."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"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."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"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."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"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."
"The on-premises and desktop versions are not user-friendly."
"The solution in general just needs a few quality improvements."
"The older version of Microsoft Dynamics AX that we are using is not as scalable as the newer version."
"The product needs improvement in procurement planning. It also needs to include a production scheduling feature."
"The manufacturing module in GP is quite basic, and those who require more advanced manufacturing capabilities often turn to third-party modules or tools."
"There is room for improvement in the licensing model and associated costs of this solution."
"It needs better financials and reporting from the system, not through Excel."
"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."
