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.

Real-time analytics have streamlined workforce scheduling and improved service level decisions
I thought Verint Open Platform was really great overall. I think there were just a few small things here and there that I would maybe change. I thought it would be really helpful if I could pull up a list of agents specifically, not just based on their teams. If I could just type their names and hit tab and then they would come into some scheduling timeline, that would be beneficial. This would be especially helpful if I needed to add unplanned absence from our sick line. We had agents that would call or email our sick line, calling out sick for the day, so it was a bit of a manual process. But other than that, I thought it was great. Probably the main improvement would be pulling agents up in more of a list format. Perhaps this has been fixed since my time using the product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 feature to us was the capability to quickly identify the tickets we have open with people and follow up them."
"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."
"IFS Cloud Platform has impacted my organization by allowing our team to spend less time reconciling data and more time executing business operations, as resources are utilized more effectively, reducing waste and improving productivity, while also resulting in reduced downtime and lowered maintenance costs, allowing management to make informed decisions based on actual data rather than historical reports."
"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"The product is quite flexible."
"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."
"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."
"Most things work great out of the box, and we do not have many customer complaints about features not working."
"The companies that implemented the Quality Bot saw operational gains, an increase in NPS, an improvement in quality, and more assertiveness in identifying which agents were not performing at their best."
"Verint Open Platform has positively impacted my organization by increasing the productive time of my team and making real-time tasks easier to manage."
"Since using Verint Open Platform, I have seen a reduction in manual work, with almost a 70 to 80% uplift from the manual effort and other WFM tools when we transitioned to Verint, which represents a very significant uplift and reduction in manual work."
"Verint Open Platform has made the work much easier for the RTAs and for the schedulers who update the schedules from scratch and download the raw data while checking the adherence for agents."
"It really streamlined a lot of our processes, especially our Realtime Analyst processes."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"Customization can only be done by IFS and not by the clients themselves."
"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."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"Technical support could be improved."
"When it comes to AI, I feel that is the area where we expect something more from IFS Cloud Platform."
"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."
"The initial setup or implementation was a little more complex than I expected."
"Support leaves a bit to be desired, and I think it is an area for improvement that Verint has in the support part."
"One improvement needed for Verint Open Platform is that the upgrades need to be scheduled, and there is a need for application improvement in terms of latency, as real-time takes time to refresh the screen."
"I think there were just a few small things here and there that I would maybe change."
"One thing that sometimes customers complain about is the lack of support in Portuguese since I am based in Brazil and the customers that I support are mostly in Brazil."
"To improve Verint Open Platform, I would recommend adding a section that creates easier options for the rostering part, such as work patterns and work events including training, breaks, lunches, and meetings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is better to buy implementation services from IFS than from partners"
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."
"There's an additional yearly cost for support."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"Compared to SAP, the pricing for IFS Applications was very affordable. People using the solution would find that it's worth the money."
