We performed a comparison between IFS Cloud Platform and PeopleSoft based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"Feature-wise, I like the way it provides inventory details...It is a stable solution."
"I like the connectivity and interfaces. In V10, it's easy to modify the interfaces and layouts, but it's becoming more complicated in the cloud. IFS is excellent at asset maintenance and incident management. They have specialized modules for IFS that cover incident and asset management and everything else connected to finance. The reporting in IFS is also easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"When it comes to financing, the solution has helped us to concentrate finance functions like accounting processes in one system. This includes about 70 internal entities around the world."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"PeopleSoft is scalable."
"PeopleSoft is a good core system. They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good."
"PeopleSoft has been fairly reliable for us. We haven't had any issues with stability."
"It is a customizable product. We can customize it based on our needs, which is one of the features that I like about PeopleSoft. As far as financial accounting is concerned, the user interface is very good. You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."
"The time system is what we get the most benefit from."
"The most valuable feature is IDE."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it."
"An area for improvement would be transactions, which can be tedious to complete as the process is very complex."
"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."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"IFS Applications is not robust enough to handle high-volume transactions, so it's not suitable for larger enterprises."
"It would be ideal if, in the future, the product could incorporate IoT and blockchain elements. We'd like to explore more of these types of features going forward."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved."
"An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"I would like to see a better UI."
"On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
"The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this."
