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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IFS Applications is very user-friendly and easy to deploy, and it's suitable for small and medium enterprises."
"There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products. This makes the UI a little bit easier to understand."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"Pricing Matrix: Allowed us to implement a very complex go to market pricing model, allowing us to tailor pricing to individual customer requirements and implement an automated pricing model that maximized gross profit in a very competitive environment."
"IFS Applications is based on industry standards that are using a multi-tier deployment model, making it much easier to integrate IFS Applications with other enterprise software packages, while its modern, easy-to-learn user interface offers many features for filtering, searching, and navigating."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is deceptively simple but remarkably powerful."
"Creating a streamlined process from sales through to completion of projects has made an immense difference to our operations."
"WORKetc is a great tool; complex and useful; maybe even too complex with a lot of customized options."
 

Cons

"There are some stability issues."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"The initial setup or implementation was a little more complex than I expected."
"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."
"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."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"The CRM was shaky and although this improves in Apps 10, there is room for improvement."
"We are waiting for a new UI design, and also I think that not having a mobile version is a weakness."
"The UI needs to move forward to a refreshed version but this is in the works."
"It just feels that the current UI is a bit old school."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There are varying license levels that you can purchase."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."
"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."
"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."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Compared to SAP, the pricing for IFS Applications was very affordable. People using the solution would find that it's worth the money."
