Pros
"Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution.""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.""The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users.""The most valuable features of IFS Applications are their intuitiveness and ease of use. The navigations are also straightforward, which makes it easy to train users. The feedback I always receive is that it is very user-friendly.""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.""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.""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.""We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."

"The Sage Accpac solution has definitely been the most valuable because the finance features are excellent.""The most useful aspect of Sage CRM is the capability to keep track of each staff member's communication and bill processing activities.

Cons
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications.""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.""Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it.""The support provided by IFS Applications has room for improvement. I'm based in Poland, and when my company had an issue, finding people from IFS to give my company the support it needed was difficult.""An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex.""IFS Applications can improve the reporting capabilities and increase the speed of feedback time in the IFS Applications. This would help with the overall performance of the solution and provide better experiences for customers."

More IFS Cloud Platform Cons →

"Its user interface could be better.""I would like Sage to improve their UI.""The scalability of this solution depends on whether you have a team that can configure it for scale.""Sage CRM doesn't have a dashboard for dynamic reporting.""From an improvement perspective, the ability to make modifications to the product needs to be more user-friendly.""Sage CRM would benefit from improving its interaction with email communication sites and social media platforms in order to gather more leads.""With regards to monitoring the transaction with alerts, it could be better."

  • "Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."
  • "Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."

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."
  • "There's an additional yearly cost for support."
  • "There are varying license levels that you can purchase."
  • "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."
  • More IFS Cloud Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We have a yearly license."
  • "We pay for eight core modules and 20 user licenses and this costs us $1500 per year."
  • "From an African perspective, the solution is relatively expensive."
  • "Though my company has to have a perpetual license per user, there is a need to make annual payments towards the costs attached to the support my organization receives from Sage CRM's technical team."
