IFS Cloudのレビュー

IFS Applications is Perfect

良いポイント:

IFS Applications can be added into Microsoft Excel as an add-on and creates a separate tab of its own on Excel. All the reports that have been generated through IFS is customizable and transferrable to Excel as well.

改善してほしい点:

There are not much cons but sometimes generating a report takes some time and if there is a slight connection lost, it becomes too slow and there is no stop/execute button to stop the action.

Great solution for a Small / Medium Business

製品を使ってみた感想： This solution really brought us some challenges but opportunities as well, we are currently evaluating its permanence in the company, so far so good.

良いポイント:

It really works very well processing POs, monitoring assets, performing daily reports, we were also amazed how well it integrated with our other solutions.

改善してほしい点:

Sometimes when preparing analytic reports, accessing old data can be challenging. Another improvement opportunity is that permission's workflow, it really does not make much sense, and we need to manually create one for every situation.

Consider everything during implementation

製品を使ってみた感想： I think IFS is a great tool for mass producers but if you custom manufacture anything then this is not the software for you. IFS works best for a standard product list with very little change. There is NO method for archiving information like a product option, customer, supplier, etc. so once something is entered in the system it is there forever and available as a selection. If your business has very little variables then this is probably the right system for you.

良いポイント:

Good training options, support response if fairly quick. Once you learn to 'think like IFS' navigation is pretty easy.

改善してほしい点:

Inflexible configuration and really only geared towards specific business types. Our custom manufacturing makes it really difficult to use many modules of the software adequately. There are a lot of things our implementation team either didn't adequately consider or configured incorrectly and we've been paying for it for a decade. Nothing is easily updated or changed and options in a drop down (or list of values) cannot ever be archived. No workflows exist in the system and permissions setup is a complete nightmare.

IFS CLoud

製品を使ってみた感想： existing software, mainly used by long standing employees as we integrate to a different system

良いポイント:

Ease of access - Transferring manual data to produce freight rates was a simple process

改善してほしい点:

Pricing per/consignment - found that it was too expensive compared to other services

IFS - One Platform ERP System

製品を使ってみた感想： Managing tax reporting and customer credit management.

良いポイント:

This product provides ease of navigation and user friendly. It's robust in functionality and connectivity of multiple modules.

改善してほしい点:

I have been a user and a consultant for this product and so far I like all its features

IFS user since 2008

製品を使ってみた感想： As with any ERP, the best way to evaluate is to talk to other companies that use it. Make sure that you talk to the users, not just the IT department or the ERP owner.

良いポイント:

Most of our departments are using it across the company. Financials, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Sales, Logistics, Engineering, etc. Good integration options and nice programming interface. Lots of development resources to continually make improvements. Last major version seemed like the biggest one so far.

改善してほしい点:

Like many ERPs, the user interface has lots of things that users will ignore or IT has to hide. If you have a weird process that isn't the norm in the industry, it will take more work to implement it. Support has room to improve.

This management system offers a wide variety of features and support to streamline supply chain inefficiencies

良いポイント:

The ability to track, locate and edit multiple stock sites within our warehouse. The ease of the search feature when searching for specific items, for example: tracking maintenance work orders not only by who the mechanic was who performed, but down to the minute by minute tracking of progress.

改善してほしい点:

Search queries take long at times, and when they do take too long there's no "cancel" feature. This prompts several people to simply hard-close the program and reopen instead of waiting for the program to load. At times the program also freezes if too many features are accessed at once.

Overall IFS Application Satisfaction

製品を使ってみた感想： In my 3 years, I've never advocated an ERP system. IFS is something I would endorse. It is a strong system with extensive capabilities that can be adapted to practically any corporate setting.

良いポイント:

IFS makes reporting simple and may be done in a variety of ways, including using the incorporated Excel export tool. Second, may utilize the Business Analytics functionality to create complicated states and feed specialized views nightly to avoid affecting your production environment while compiling and running complex SQL queries. Third, users may generate rapid reports using a set of built-in tools that are simple to use and understand, requiring no IT professional to be operational in an efficient manner.

改善してほしい点:

Very few customization choices, no employee self-service access, no automatic approval routines in the system, and a user interface that is difficult to use. If require a manual to download a report, something is plainly wrong with the UX design.

Not Built As HRIS

製品を使ってみた感想： There better options (value for the money) at the market.

良いポイント:

Our company is using one of the IFS modules as HR management SW - storage of emplyoee data across the division (12.000+ employees). The system is built for larger organizations, allows to keep history data, create multiple business entities and give access to different people for each entity.

改善してほしい点:

Very low customization options, no employee self service access, no automated approval flows in the system, very user undfriendly interface. If you need a manual to be able to download a report, something is clearly wrong when it comes to UX design.

IFS User Review

良いポイント:

Once you are comfortable working in IFS it is very easy to navigate.

改善してほしい点:

I don't know if IFS was the right choice when we selected an ERP, but after the time and money invested it is what we're 'stuck' with. Our product and processes are so specialized and IFS doesn't really work well outside the box.

IFS Applications

製品を使ってみた感想： I would definitely recommend IFS!

良いポイント:

IFS Applications software is very intuitive and very easy to use. There is so much functionality available in the software and the great thing is, if a field is missing on a certain screen, it is easy enough to create the field that either references another field in the database, or is a free form field allowing you to enter whatever data you want into it.

改善してほしい点:

I really cannot think of anything that I do not like about the software. Occasionally, there is some data that I would like to see on a certain screen, but if it is not there, it is easy enough to add it.

Robust/Adaptable

製品を使ってみた感想： I've never recommended any ERP system in my 25 years. I would recommend IFS. It is a solid system with a very powerful functionality and can be tailored to fit to almost any business environment.

良いポイント:

Overall, IFS is a powerful system with a great deal of functionality. It is fairly easy to use, and to customize to specific company and user requirements.

改善してほしい点:

The English used in the package at times is difficult to follow/understand. Customer support is well... Customer support and finding third party consulting firms is challenging, at least in the US.

IFS has been a great experience

製品を使ってみた感想： I would certainly recommend IFS to other customers.

良いポイント:

We like the flexibility as well as the stability. IFS support has been great to work with. When we have worked with R&D, it's obvious that they care about the customer.

改善してほしい点:

While it does not do everything the way we want it to, IFS is interested in making improvements so that it does.

Consistently difficult for end users

良いポイント:

The software has a wide range of features and it's proven possible to integrate it into our systems for proficiency testing; services are now tied to prepayment. But the best thing about it is ceasing to use it for the day

改善してほしい点:

As set up at this company, the user interface is appallingly hard to use and frequently generates incomprehensible error messages. Today's was "External projects must have an activity sequence" - on a pre-posting form that had _no space for an activity sequence_. That seems completely typical.

Bad advices from consultants

良いポイント:

Many functionalities that seem to do exactly what we want. IFS looks intuitive and together with the system manual you will be able to make some small steps yourselve.

改善してほしい点:

Often bad advice is received, where the IFS consultants don't even know how their own system works. This ends up in our company investigating and testing ourselves how some functionalities work. Handling of bugs by IFS is not customer friendly, and even if they admit that there is a design mistake in their software it will be unlikely for them to solve it. Another big disadvantage is the lack of a large online, open community.

IFS - interface with 17 countries

良いポイント:

IFS was a great software choice if you have multiple countries that you need to consolidate. The reporting module allows you flexibility to create reports.

改善してほしい点:

There was a longer learning curve with IFS than software I have used in the past. When you are dealing with multiples entities there are many steps that you need to go through.

The best for high volume information processing

良いポイント:

User friendly Open database structure Ease of interface and integration Ease of automation Unlimited user-configurations and customized reports Availability of a wide array of features

改善してほしい点:

Extremely costly to buy and maintain Slow customer support ticket processing Unavailability of local support

One stop shop application

良いポイント:

Includes everything from opportunity to product delivery. When implemented properly, there is no need for outside programs to encompass all aspects of your business.

改善してほしい点:

Not always user friendly, too many times if you don't have real good knowledge of the areas you are working with, you don't know how to solve problems because you don't know where the missing/invalid data resides.

IFS is a very robust software.

良いポイント:

The vendor relationship is very good. I really enjoy the various user group meetings that are held. The product is fairly straight forward.

改善してほしい点:

Our original implementation was rough. I don't feel like the consultants really understood our needs in order to help us move to our first ERP.

I'm a new user, I've been using IFS since 6 month.

製品を使ってみた感想： It really is a gold mine for a business. Every department can work on a single software to achieve all the goals of a company.

良いポイント:

What I like the most about this sofware is that there are so many possibilities, Very complete software.

改善してほしい点:

However, what I don't like about this software is that it is not easy to learn and to use at first. For exemple, you need to create pick list, then print pick list, then keep the pick list number and go in the print manager to finally get the pick list... it is not efficient.

A review from a Network Admin

良いポイント:

Once it is setup, it runs pretty smooth! I like that is a web base application

改善してほしい点:

If I had one wish, I wish IFS could be either a SQL base or Oracle base product.

IFS review

良いポイント:

its ability to capture data and have historical records. I

改善してほしい点:

the most trouble I had is searching for past data. once I got more experience it is easier.

IFS user Payroll

良いポイント:

User Friendly, When help is needed they are available

改善してほしい点:

There is nothing I do not like about the product. Easy to use.

製品を使ってみた感想： Our company has used IFS Applications for four years now. The user interface is unintuitive, arduous to use and navigate. When our company first switched to IFS we quickly realized as users the software was not even on par with an alpha release and it has not become better over time. The IFS company will not repair shortcomings of the software unless be pay them a hansom sum.

Nice product and very user-friendly

良いポイント:

The product is very user-friendly, and having loads of feature for power sectors. The most important thing is that it is easy to customize and easy to learn for users.

改善してほしい点:

They take too much time for resolving issues and doing customization.
