Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"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."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"What I like about IFS Applications is that it's easier to use and implement than SAP. I also like that the IFS Applications team is more flexible than the SAP team."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The vulnerability management feature is what I used the most. It is a good SaaS product. It is easy to use. It has a nice UI where you can see all the assets and vulnerabilities."
"Qualys VM's best features are vulnerability management and customizable scoring."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"It is a simple solution that makes scanning easy. You just give it a scheduled task, and it will do everything for you."
"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."
"The most valuable features are vulnerability detection and the scanning capability to enable identification of vulnerabilities across our network."
"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."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"Improve the API speed."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"Improve the user interface."
"Make some minimal dashboard improvements."
"Could use additional security for the app."
"The customer support is very bad."
