Find out in this report how the two IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"The best feature is the maintenance module, which is essentially an industry-specific workflow designed with a manufacturing module as per industry standards. It's very precise and specific without having complex functionalities. It's straightforward. Field Service Management is definitely a wonderful product that IFS has developed because it caters to field services. The energy and utility sectors can answer their business needs using the software."
"IFS Applications is an all-in-one solution for finance, accounting, and production."
"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."
"All the modules are valuable in their own right, but everything has to go through the ERP. IFS has done an excellent job integrating the various modules to complete these processes. My expertise is in the finance module, but I have used the other verticals. It's an all-around good product."
"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."
"The financial posting controls are quite handy. The user interface is really friendly, highly flexible, and pretty intuitive for end users."
"With Jira Service Desk, the simplicity of setting up a quick form and getting the service desk running quickly is very helpful."
"A good organizational tool."
"The product is not lacking anything that a QA will want to use."
"The most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."
"Allows customized processes for our service contracts."
"The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good."
"JIRA Service Management is a very user-friendly solution."
"JSM's best feature is the integration with other Jira products."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"Sometimes from the sales perspective, clients don't always fully understand how large a task or a project they're getting involved in when they decide, "We're going to switch across to IFS." They could probably do a little bit more, maybe around preparing people for these projects."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The next version has already been released, and some of the technical things are a little bit behind the curve in development. This is specifically security, maintenance, security role maintenance, and creation. This is in their new product, called IFS Cloud."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"Customization needs to be improved."
"There are certain digital features that need to be incorporated, such as IOP."
"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."
"What needs to be added in Jira Service Management is the user screen. You'll find it very weird if this is your first time using the solution. The user-friendliness of its interface needs improvement."
"I think the performance can be better."
"There is room for improvement in support."
"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."
"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
