ICT Manager at a legal firm with 11-50 employees
Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use
The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.
Thangaraj Ramasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Arcwide
Has supported project management and business customization through strong modular flexibility
The cloud feature in IFS Cloud Platform is predominantly valuable, especially the enterprise asset management module, which IFS has very good business into, along with strong finance, project management, and supply chain management modules; these are the major modules that are performing well with IFS, and the cloud options along with user-friendly customizations for any technical developments are additional advantages. The integration of IoT with IFS Cloud Platform is performing well, enabling us to integrate with predominantly any third party through the standard inbuilt connectors that are readily available, and if we need to customize the integration, we can certainly do that too.

"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"The solution is quite stable, and we've found it to be reliable and free from bugs and glitches that affect its usability."
"Our ROI is 4.5 times our investment in 18 months."
"Some of the strengths are Enterprise Management Solutions and the series of Management solutions which is number one in Gartner's report and has been for the last five years."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"Our client has benefited as follows: Reduced transaction time, better visibility, easier tracking, more control on business and automation, and better agility with the ability to move swiftly as times and market conditions change."
"There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products. This makes the UI a little bit easier to understand."
"IFS Applications' best feature is the user-friendly interface that has a .NET Framework application in the front end and an Oracle database and WebLogic middleware."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
 

Cons

"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"There are some stability issues."
"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"The integration is a bit complex, and post-implementation support services need to be improved. They have a service center based out of Sri Lanka. The support aspect is good, but the response time is a little slower than we anticipated. In the next release, it would be better if Warehouse Management could be improvised. They have a product line that's a data warehouse management system, but it's still premature and requires a bit of enhancement."
"The customer service is not good as expected but we can say its fair."
"We have had an issue that we don't get proper after-sale service when we get technical glitches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"It is better to buy implementation services from IFS than from partners"
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"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."
"Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."
"We pay for a license to use the solution, which is not very expensive."
