Thangaraj Ramasamy

Consultant at Arcwide

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.

Executive Consultant at Gemini Solutions Group

Streamlines collaboration across teams and has a straightforward setup process

The platform initiates a series of processes to complete the sale, which may involve ordering equipment, providing services, and tracking necessary activities. The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team. Compared to my experience working with HubSpot, which excelled in presales and marketing but lacked integration with ERP and post-sales processes, NetSuite CRM+ stands out for its ability to streamline collaboration and information sharing across teams. It facilitates post-sales engagement by effectively providing visibility into the bill of materials and assigning responsibilities. The platform is not highly customizable like Salesforce. However, it offers sufficient flexibility for our requirements. I can easily create different views and reports and add widgets to my home screen as needed. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"We applied the ISO 20000 standard using Assyst."

"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."

"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."

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

"Apart from the pressures of meeting 14 go-live dates, this has been a very positive experience and has led to a streamlined and effective business."

"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."

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

More IFS Cloud Platform pros

"The fact that you have all your products with NetSuite CRM+, and you have the ability to add those from the beginning of a lead to a quote to an opportunity, means the whole process flows well compared to using other CRMs in the market."

"We use the product for standard CRM functions like email marketing, account management, scheduling customer profiles, and marketing materials, and for integration with the Suite Commerce."

"Very scalable solution that provides customer relationship management, sales, and marketing functions. It's very straightforward to set up, and it supports multi-subsidiary organizations."

"The feature that has been most effective in improving sales performance is its alignment with the ordering team."

"NetSuite CRM+ helps us provide customer support and track schedules for field service."

Cons

"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."

"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."

"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 are some stability issues."

"Customization needs to be improved."

"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."

"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."

More IFS Cloud Platform cons

"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly."

"What could be improved in NetSuite CRM+ is its UI, because it's ugly. When you compare it to the Salesforce UI, the UI in Salesforce, particularly its reporting, looks better."

"The product needs to improve the warehouse management feature."

"NetSuite's field service automation should be updated. We should be able to fully automate the assignment of service orders to technicians."

"The product or service could be improved by incorporating AI functionality to provide intuitive assistance."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced."

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

"Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."

"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."

"We pay for a license to use the solution, which is not very expensive."

"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."

"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."

More IFS Cloud Platform pricing and cost advice

"Compared to other tools, you have to pay for the NetSuite CRM+ module itself. You will pay a recurring fee regardless of how many users you have, then you will pay a fee per user, per month. Its cost is not a licensing cost per user, but a module cost and a user cost."

"It ultimately depends on the features and functionalities required for your specific use case."
