"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup.""Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing.""It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects.""The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN.""The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies.""The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards.""The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations.""The best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle.

Cons
"Improvements could be made regarding user-friendliness and transitioning fully to a web version. Features like forex reconciliation and a cash flow planning module could enhance the solution.""The reporting Module should be improved and a drag and drop functionality should be added.""The build-in dashboard and reporting customization should be improved."

"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details.""Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention.""From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU.""From a technical perspective, LN needs to work on customization and integration. It's fairly expensive for many clients to migrate from a customized private solution to the cloud. Infor needs to improve the cloud solution to make the migration from the on-prem customized solution faster and smoother. Otherwise, many clients will find it difficult or expensive to do.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
