Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"The solution overall is very versatile and flexible, especially compared to other products."
"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."
"The workflow of the solution is very good."
"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 main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"The most valuable features of IFS Applications are their intuitiveness and ease of use. The navigations are also straightforward, which makes it easy to train users. The feedback I always receive is that it is very user-friendly."
"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."
"Really scalable business application suite with good technical support and straightforward patching."
"I like the automation and integration features of Oracle E-Business Suite."
"The system is reliable and the backbone of financial and other core systems in many organizations worldwide."
"It was easy to set up the product."
"On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly."
"Has good dashboard and drill-down features."
"Oracle EBS adapts to our business rules, so we don't have to change them, whereas SAP is rigid. We need to change our business rules to implement SAP. Oracle's reporting is also excellent and it's easier for our technical team to customize the solution compared to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and other products."
"You can group them into the BIs, which is business intelligence. You get your own key performance indicators and build your own reports or you could have your own screens, and it changes in real time."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation and user-friendliness."
"There were initial difficulties when I started using the application."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The technical support my company receives from the implementation partners of the solution is not that great."
"IFS Applications can improve the reporting capabilities and increase the speed of feedback time in the IFS Applications. This would help with the overall performance of the solution and provide better experiences for customers."
"I'm a business analyst, so I do a lot of customer-facing work. I take calls from businesses I have to troubleshoot. One thing that bugs me is the error messages you get from IFS. If I get an error message, I have to dig to find the cause because, often, the error message doesn't precisely describe the problem. It'll hint about where the problem lies, but you have to work to find the root cause. It doesn't help in my situation. You expect an error message to point to the field or what is causing the issue."
"The simplicity of the user experience needs to be improved tremendously."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"In the future, Oracle E-Business Suite could improve by having a better UI. Competitors are providing much better interfaces."
"Oracle E-Business Suite's stability could be improved as they have a lot of bugs that need to be fixed."
"The deployment of the Oracle E-Business Suite was simple. I have done many deployments and I find it simple, but for others, it might not be easy."
"It would be great to see Oracle E-Business Suite become less dependent on the SAO solution, which is an integration solution for Oracle platforms."
"Earlier when our organization was small they chose Oracle because in the telecommunication industry everybody was using Oracle. Our company has grown to a size where our particularly billing phase has created some challenges and now we are looking at alternate solutions. There is not a billing engine or module that you can buy from Oracle that can be added to this EBS solution to fix our problem. They should add a billing module or engine to the solution."
"It's very dependent on integration with other products,."
