We performed a comparison between IFS Cloud Platform and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Some of the strengths are Enterprise Management Solutions and the series of Management solutions which is number one in Gartner's report and has been for the last five years."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"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."
"The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."
"Qualys VM's most valuable feature is automatic detection."
"The integrations for this solution are very good. I use a different product for virtual patching of vulnerabilities and Qualys integrates well with that product."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness."
"There should be some improvements in the predefined templates in IFS Applications."
"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."
"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 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."
"Sometimes we face a problem with accessing the tool and not getting an expected result. From a technology point of view, they need to look into this."
"The ability to manage user accounts and give rights to the operator to know about abnormalities of applications is something that needs improvement."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"Sometimes the scanning can get overwhelmed and start to drag when a lot of users are trying to scan at once."
"Endpoint stability and fault resolution could be improved."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."
