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.

JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The enterprise management solutions within the solution are very strong."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"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."
"The solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"Apart from the pressures of meeting 14 go-live dates, this has been a very positive experience and has led to a streamlined and effective business."
"Prior to using the IFS site, it was quite difficult for us to track, access, and extract the inventory available to us, and once we started using IFS, it introduced us to a way to track and monitor the inventory, which from a user perspective is extremely useful for us."
"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 financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"The solution has very good stability; there aren't any bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"We have been satisfied with how it works and how stable and reliable it is."
"A global system with a local presence and intercontinental communication, it provides us with a common language, product, and customer base."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
 

Cons

"There are some stability issues."
"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."
"We have had an issue that we don't get proper after-sale service when we get technical glitches."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness."
"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."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"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."
"The solution's reporting tools still require improvement."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"The user interface in JD Edwards World is very crude; I press a button to get to the application, unlike EnterpriseOne, which offers a more finished experience with dashboards."
"JD Edwards World is very outdated and not really supported anymore."
"JDE World is more stable than JDE EnterpriseOne. For JDE EnterpriseOne, the Integrity part will generate some errors; since they have low Integrity, we get some duplicate records in the accumulator table."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a license to use the solution, which is not very expensive."
"I consider it to be a well-priced solution compared to other mid-range or high-end ERP solutions."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"Compared to SAP, the pricing for IFS Applications was very affordable. People using the solution would find that it's worth the money."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."
"There are varying license levels that you can purchase."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The pricing of the solution may appear to be expensive for smaller companies with only tens of users; however, for larger and mid-size industrial companies, IFS is able to win deals and the pricing is competitive in the market."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
