IFS Applications vs. Sage Fixed Assets

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.

To me, the best use case for Sage Fixed Assets are: 1. you run a Sage based ERP. or 2. you have an ERP that is limited in its Fixed Asset abilities. We have not done any integration per se, but if we did, it would be fairly easy given the fact that Sage uses SQL tables.

In our organization, the IFS Applications is being used in most processes starting from Business Opportunity processes to Sales Order delivery processes where the IFS Applications helps us to raise procurement requests for SCM, Production schedules for the Shop Floor, Supplier invoicing, Customer Invoicing. Additionally, the Payroll process is completely automated where travel requests to employee attendance is being directly captured in ifs cloud.

Of all the software we use, Sage is one of the easiest to use. The simple interface makes the whole fixed asset process easy to understand and when new users are onboarded, they have no trouble learning the product. The product also performs well speed and stability wise, making for a great user experience overall

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.

Rather lackluster. Our account manager generally works with Sage's support team and oftentimes finds herself frustrated with a lack of understanding from the support team. Additionally, when IT is attempting to update the system (which from my understanding is a bear of epic complex proportions) they often times find themselves frustrated and at a loss for what needs done.

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

[I believe that] Sage is nowhere near as good as Oracle. Oracle is easy to use and administer and the features are much better. The system is cloud-based so there are fewer issues with on-prem or virtual servers.
