"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."
"Having a young talented programmer, during the six years of use, we were able to save around 75 000 EUR preparing simple modifications using customization rather than ordering them in IFS / Partner."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications in the latest version are the new user Arena interface. It's from Apps 9, but it brings more flexibility in usage, especially around different devices, such as mobile usage, which doesn't restrict you from using a computer. We are it for the HR side, and it's proving quite good. It has a new modern feel to it similar to a standard cloud application which enhances the user experience."
"It provides our management a real-time view of operations."
"Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP has integrated the best features from various sources. For instance, it incorporates the strengths of HCM from PeopleSoft, PPM from another source and CRM from Salesforce."

"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."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."

"The tool must enable users to customize the reports."
"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution."
"The initial setup can be somewhat complex."
"The database is outdated and quite rigid."
"If you go for the real-time process, the patch of work and the time to update the product will be too much."
"The solution's new analytics information, dashboard, and flexibility of reporting could be improved."
