Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"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."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"The product is quite flexible."
"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 PeopleSoft interface is very good."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I would rate scalability a nine out of ten."
"Very stable in terms of performance and scalability."
"It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features."
"The new version of this solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of PeopleSoft is the functionality that allows the ability to find all the data about employees that are needed."
"Peoplesoft is the best payroll software in the market."
"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."
"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."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support could be improved."
"If there is another release, they should look at going to mobile computing to stay competitive."
"The solution could have better processes and automation, or features that allow for a paperless environment."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"Parsing of CVs is productive but accuracy can be improved."
"I would like for the initial rollout process to be completed faster so that it can be implemented in a more efficient manner."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
