Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 4, 2025

Oracle WebCenter and IFS Cloud Platform are competitors in the enterprise software domain, each with unique strengths. IFS Cloud appears to have the upper hand due to its extensive ERP capabilities and favorable ROI, appealing for full-scale business integration.

Features: Oracle WebCenter is recognized for its content management, portal capabilities, and user interface, making it a suitable choice for organizations focusing on digital experience. IFS Cloud Platform stands out with its ERP, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), and Field Service Management (FSM) functionalities. The platform's user-friendly interface, strong analytics capabilities, and integration flexibility make it a compelling option for various industries.

Room for Improvement: Oracle WebCenter could improve on integrating better with non-Oracle products and simplifying deployment to match cloud-based solutions. Documentation and user interface might also be enhanced for ease of access. IFS Cloud, while comprehensive, could benefit from streamlining some of its complex functionalities. Further enhancement in customization flexibility and reducing system complexity might improve user adaptability.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle WebCenter traditionally relies on established deployment practices, supported by thorough documentation. In contrast, IFS Cloud leverages its cloud-based delivery model, adding flexibility and scalability, ideal for businesses needing swift adjustments. Both platforms provide extensive customer support, but IFS Cloud's focus on customer education may provide an advantage in facilitating smoother deployment transitions.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle WebCenter's specialized content management can lead to higher initial costs, while IFS Cloud Platform is often seen as delivering better ROI through its comprehensive functionality against less financial commitment over time. The extensive features and adaptability of IFS Cloud make it an attractive investment option when considering long-term benefits and total cost of ownership. Specific pricing details are typically customized based on organizational needs.

Robust, customizable, and modern

IFS is a very large and complex software, and implementation of IFS can be challenging and may lead to a difficult lengthy project. It can take between 12 and 24 months in some cases to deploy. I have found that not all clients are fully aware of how big the task is that they're undertaking when they make a decision to move to software like this. Companies need to be more aware of the complexity of an ERP implementation project and while I fully recommend moving to IFS, it is not easy and does require business change when adopting an ERP solution. New features are a difficult ask - I work across multiple industries and everyone would probably choose a different feature. Maybe BIM in Construction or Customs link-ups for importers/exporters.

Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products

WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten since it is an extremely scalable solution that can be used for various use cases with thousands of users."

"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."

"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."

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

"There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products."

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

"The product is quite flexible."

More IFS Cloud Platform pros

"Integration within the solution is very good."

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

Cons

"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 CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."

"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."

"I'm a business analyst, so I do a lot of customer-facing work. I take calls from businesses I have to troubleshoot. One thing that bugs me is the error messages you get from IFS. If I get an error message, I have to dig to find the cause because, often, the error message doesn't precisely describe the problem. It'll hint about where the problem lies, but you have to work to find the root cause. It doesn't help in my situation. You expect an error message to point to the field or what is causing the issue."

"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."

"The solution's reporting tools still require improvement."

"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."

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

More IFS Cloud Platform cons

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."

"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."

"Its functions need more stability."

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."

"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

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."

"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."

"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."

"There are varying license levels that you can purchase."

"Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."

"The product is reasonably priced."

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

"There's an additional yearly cost for support."

More IFS Cloud Platform pricing and cost advice

"The price needs to be lowered."

"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."

"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."
