Not every Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System does not cover all the industry verticals and all the functionalities and requirements for a specific industry as built-in features. Although IFS Applications does not completely cover all the requirements and all the industry verticals, it can be implemented for any industrial company with minimum configurations and customization, which is very good when implementing an ERP system. Since it supports web and mobile versions of the application as well, the users ind it easy to use.

  • The biggest drawback I have been facing while using the platform is that there must be no compromise on security. There is a need for a few changes in security and data control which helps businesses to trust Ramco ERP more.
  • Data migration is a bit of hard work along with the reports that are not giving expected results, which need improvements.

It supports mobile versions an has several mobile applications for specific areas with Android, IOS and Windows versions.

Microsoft AX, QAD (in continuation of our previous ERP), Sage X3 was an out of the box ERP that was part of initial RFP. We have chosen IFS based on the compromise between costs & budget, functionality, technical features, and feedback from similar customers that gave their feedback. The project manager team and qualification level of technical or consultant teams were differentiating factors too. Finally IFS application was named in the Gartner’s mid-market ERP Magic Quadrant, along with SAP, and helped us to finalize our choice

We were using Quickbase instead of IFS Cloud before. Due to cost as a concern we shifted to IFS Cloud. Now we are migrating all our systems from Quickbase to IFS Cloud slowly. We are under UAT as of now. We are planning to go Live Next Year. I am not aware honestly about the pricing, but I have heard that IFS Cloud is more affordable than Quickbase if we consider the functionality and the support they provide.
