Brendan Fisher - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, customizable, and modern
IFS is a very large and complex software, and implementation of IFS can be challenging and may lead to a difficult lengthy project. It can take between 12 and 24 months in some cases to deploy. I have found that not all clients are fully aware of how big the task is that they're undertaking when they make a decision to move to software like this. Companies need to be more aware of the complexity of an ERP implementation project and while I fully recommend moving to IFS, it is not easy and does require business change when adopting an ERP solution. New features are a difficult ask - I work across multiple industries and everyone would probably choose a different feature. Maybe BIM in Construction or Customs link-ups for importers/exporters.

We're able to customize the business rules with code and to integrate it with middleware applications to manage the rules externally. The interactions with social networks can’t be managed with it.
Siebel's most valuable feature is the web interface. As far as CRM's go, it's a very flexible solution, and we're able to customize the business rules with code and to integrate it with middleware applications to manage the rules externally. In our case, we've integrated all our BSS and OSS applications with Siebel using TIBCO v5.6. The application itself contains complete functionalities needed to manage the interactions with clients -- quotes, opportunities, and offers. Also, we can register the interactions with our clients. We have another instance of Siebel CRM (7.8) and in that case we have integrated also with Tibco BW 5.9 and we are currently using other products from Tibco for developing the BPM processes related (Tibco iDecisions as BPM).
