IFS Applications vs. Ramco ERP vs. SYSPRO

Order to cash processes and scenario are implemented natively in IFS. An HR module exists for career management also (objectives, comportments, training, mobility) but may be improved in terms of workflow validation (e.g. training to validate by a manager) or reporting.

It provides a complete real-time solution on the go, if possible. Complete with all the features. I would definitely recommend this
to other businesses to have in their ecosystem for a complete understanding of
cloud-based digitization of business operations. Best choice for transforming the cloud-based organization into digital transformation.

Almost, since day one Syspro has been saving us time and making us more productive as a whole. We have been able to grow our revenue exponentially with keeping our personnel needs at nearly the same level. Syspro is a great system for an organization that has multiple needs like Distribution and Manufacturing and/or multiple locations.

• It supports the web version in most later versions.
• It provides various mobile versions of the applications as mobile apps to cater various areas.
• IFS Applications allows easy configurations of the application without going for costly customization.
• It covers almost every areas of an industrial company so any other third party applications are minimum.
• It allows safer and easier built-in options for integrations capabilities.

• I am pretty much impressed by their unified solution for every problem, workflow-based approach, and real-time optimizing engine in memory.
• Interference of Ramco ERP is the reason for choosing it.
• It is a completely cost-effective and reliable ERP solution.
• The best feature that helps me to keep working on Ramco ERP is that it easily integrated with other existing software very easily.

• If you are a small or medium business, SYSPRO is a great fit due to its flexible design. If you perform warehousing and inventory management Syspro performs these functions very well.
• SYSPRO has been around since 1978 and it shows in its development and support. I have been through several re-sellers for our support function, however we have now moved to SYSPRO corporate for our technical support and development/customizations. SYSPRO corporate supports their customers VERY well.
• The SYSPRO interface is highly customizable and nicely laid out. Even with the basic implementation, you can still get off the ground and run without performing too many modifications.
• SYSPRO forms and reporting templates are easy to customize/modify.

• Handling massive volumes of data can be improved.

• 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.

Incentivized

• We have been using 6.0 and the security is not so good.
• The program is a bit difficult to learn for rollout
• The Learning Channel could be improved - downloadable mp4's would be nice to include in the program vs moving back and forth to the learning channel. Since the program is difficult to learn, it would be nice to be able to utilize the learning channel within the program. Also, the learning channel is pretty complicated to use.

The system is very difficult to use, overly complex, and difficult to learn. It also has limitations that are hard to overcome.

I have
been using this software for some time where I have changed my organization
setup with the help of Ramco ERP and it leads to being the best choice, as it has
all the features that are needed to be the best. All the processes are very streamlined, easy to
use, and the real-time inventory stock update is amazing.

I've heard many reports from our users stating how difficult Syspro is to use and navigate. From an average standpoint, the Syspro Administrator has to invest a lot of time in setting up the user for success. Once the groundwork is applied, SYSPRO's overall usability becomes fair easier to the average user.

We have been unable to get answers to our questions, solutions to our problems, and they don't seem interested in working in the construction industry.

The support team is best in their respective tasks.
They are very supportive and responsive to the messages, listen to the problem
carefully, and provide a solution on the go. If it is not possible, they will
respond after time with the workable solution.

IFS Applications is based on Agile Technology which allows organizations to reconfigure user interface as per user requirements and make it user-friendly. Other applications are lagging on many fronts like User Interface, Online help document availability, Implementation methodology, and post-implementation expenses.

We evaluated 8 of the top vendors 16 years ago before we selected Syspro and frankly, none of them came close to meeting all of our needs at a reasonable price point. We still look back at that process and think it was one of the best decisions we have ever made.

• Reporting is now centralized and managed. Previously, reports were outside the information systems and there was a risk of incoherence.
• Accounting controls are now in place on the overall processes, including production, which helped the company to reduce closing periods or to produce more easily official mandatory accounting files yearly.
• Interfaces between the CRM forecast tool and IFS helped to keep the tools in sync, and to decrease the processing times prior to production launch.

• Support team is great; it helps me where I am stuck.
• It has a very intuitive nature and is very well designed on modernized UI to have the best workflow.
• I am very much satisfied with their services and features they’re offering.

• Significant returns regarding our ability to quickly process orders - both direct entry, EDI and web orders.
• Significant returns through giving us the ability to serve configurable products to our customers - We used the product configurator to accomplish this.
• Simplifies the shipping process and makes it easy for us to process shipments.
• Significant returns in terms of automation and cutting down on expense.
