I have experience with multiple ERP software and I must say that iScala is the fastest system to work in so far. It doesn't have the same fancy shell like some others but at the end of the day the most important thing is the functionality and here is iScala outstanding.

User documentation of IFS Cloud is very well organized, and easy to follow. So, the time taken for the key business users to be trained is comparatively less. The integration with other well-suited third-party applications for HR and Payroll has been standardized and easy to setup, because of the REST APIs.
