"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"All the modules are valuable in their own right, but everything has to go through the ERP. IFS has done an excellent job integrating the various modules to complete these processes. My expertise is in the finance module, but I have used the other verticals. It's an all-around good product."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"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."
"The solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"We can install the bundles based on our needs."
"It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us."
"It's integrated into everything well so you can navigate and use it in a very simple way."
"It is a very solid product for finance and procure-to-pay processes."
"We use it for the projects we do in the telecom industry."
"The most valuable feature in NetSuite ERP is the user interface."
"NetSuite ERP is a user-friendly cloud-based solution that posts into the GL in real time. You can see your profitability at the order level."
"I would say that the solution is highly configurable."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"The next version has already been released, and some of the technical things are a little bit behind the curve in development. This is specifically security, maintenance, security role maintenance, and creation. This is in their new product, called IFS Cloud."
"The solution could be more stable."
"It would be great if they offered localization for Central America."
"The solution is not user-friendly and it is complex to use."
"Additionally, adding advanced modules such as AI components or customer service modules could help the system become more scalable."
"If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex."
"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways."
"In NetSuite ERP, they should focus on offering better customization options."
