Performance of IFS Cloud Across Market Features

IFS Cloud Likes & Dislikes

1. Extremely customizable with different levels of complexity (from simple custom fields, to custom pages, to custom events and workflows) allowing tailoring 2. Strong user community that values sharing best practices and solutions to common issues; about 80% of the corner case issues have been discussed in the community forum with solutions provided. 3. Easy integration with outside services using industry-standard protocols (REST) 4. Evergreen product with 2x yearly major feature releases 5. Robust migration tool options, from simple user-accessible excel integration to capable multi-part migration jobs, all using the standard business rules to ensure data integrity

Flexibility, broad offerings, cloud based, evergreen.

IFS is a highly flexible and agile ERP solution, and its standard business processes comprehensively cover all typical business requirements. Where minor user-specific needs arise, they can be easily addressed using standard configuration tools, without the need for complex custom development. If more complex requirement emerge, they can be implemented using the infrastructure provided by IFS, either by IFS itself or with the involvement of external partners.

The training delivery methodology is inconsistent and a bad experience. The actual training classes themselves are okay, but the IFS Academy construct is a high friction experience i.e. Why is it a different credential than other IFS accounts? Why are virtual classes that are just recordings given a short completion window? (This is relevant because a typical experience is users buying courses they intend to take in the near future when they have a quiet week, using unspent budget at year end; they get stuck having to request the course be unlocked again when it times out in 30 days)

It's too flexible and teams don't understand the impact of decisions made.

It is a very flexible system, which is a significant advantage; however, this flexibility can sometimes make it difficult to harmonize business processes across different countries. IFS is one of the best ERP solutions; however, it is not as widely known as some of its competitors. As a result, when hiring new employees we typically need to provide initial training on the application. The standard REST API documentation is sometimes not sufficiently clear, which can cause challenges on rare occasions when integrating IFS with other tools.
