Integrated planning has improved production scheduling and now reduces downtime and costs
The biggest friction point I have run into with IFS Cloud Platform is user adoption, which has been the biggest challenge, as different users in the organization need to get accustomed to the new processes after years of using spreadsheets and legacy systems, requiring training and a mindset shift, along with challenging data migration and process standardization. My advice to someone considering IFS Cloud Platform with a similar workflow is to spend sufficient time understanding and standardizing their business processes before implementing it, as the technology is very powerful, but the real value comes when processes, data, and teams are all aligned. I would rate my overall experience with IFS Cloud Platform as a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is quite flexible."
"Field Service Management is definitely a wonderful product that IFS has developed because it caters to field services."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
 

Cons

"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"The initial implementation was more complex than expected."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The technical support my company receives from the implementation partners of the solution is not that great."
"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 are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"The biggest friction point I have run into with IFS Cloud Platform is user adoption, which has been the biggest challenge, as different users in the organization need to get accustomed to the new processes after years of using spreadsheets and legacy systems, requiring training and a mindset shift, along with challenging data migration and process standardization."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"The product has a security flaw."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."
"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 additional cost that comes with the solution includes the overhead of the people who are trying to fix the tool issues. These people are trying to reproduce the issue and report it to the technical support and testing with them which is huge. It is the cost of quality in the end."
"There's an additional yearly cost for support."
"There are varying license levels that you can purchase."
"Compared to SAP, the pricing for IFS Applications was very affordable. People using the solution would find that it's worth the money."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The pricing is moderate."
