A superb platform for low-code development, but needs to improve its pricing and support
It was a customized solution like a VPN. We used some open-source tools and some paid tools. But we mostly had custom-developed tools. As for why we switched from Accela, this is a very important question because that was a legacy system, and it was running for 11 years. Of course, we reached a point where we wanted to scale our applications, and we had a legacy system that could not support scaling and required more time to implement any applications. That was one of the reasons we chose a low-code platform. We evaluated multiple solutions in the market. As part of the bidding, Accela was the lowest with more features.

Integrated planning has improved document automation but reporting and user experience still need work
There are areas where Infor CloudSuite can improve. I have touched on the pros and key strengths of Infor CloudSuite, but end-user feedback indicates that there are several areas where the user experience can improve. For instance, when it comes to reporting, it comes with a very limited number of reports, and the standard reports are clunky, requiring a technical resource or developer to enhance or make them presentable. Another area is user experience; it takes several clicks to get to the information, and the user interface isn't that intuitive. Compared to other solutions, such as top-tier options such as Oracle or SAP, this stands out as an area needing improvement. When it comes to integration, Infor CloudSuite does offer a great deal of flexibility. It comes with APIs, so you can integrate with any third-party systems you may use. On that front, it's sufficient; however, it does require some specialized resources, as it's not a layman's job, and developers need to help with the integration. This is generally the case for any ERP. The user interface could indeed be better, and there is a steep learning curve for users; it takes time for them to get accustomed to Infor CloudSuite's interface and forms. However, once users adapt, it becomes easier and smoother to navigate. There are great features associated with Infor CloudSuite, such as DataViews and Birst as a business intelligence tool, which can be integrated with the basic product. Implementing Birst isn't plug-and-play; it requires a team of technical resources to execute. Additionally, there is a feature that allows integration with Excel, which can be installed by your IT team.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can develop features in very little time."
"The Accela's most valuable features are visual inspection and workflow."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It offers a facility to get data quickly."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities."
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"The stability of the solution is perfect. I rate it a ten out of ten."
"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
 

Cons

"The tool's performance becomes slow with usage. Its deployment is also complicated."
"I would like to see integration with analytics and the Power BI dashboard."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"As far as pricing and licensing are concerned, more licenses are needed when companies grow with Infor CloudSuite."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"Infor OS is powerful, but the documentation is terrible."
"For the quality department, there is a module called quality, and I feel it has to be a little bit simplified."
"It required more time than I had with it to learn it well enough."
"The price of the solution is not good."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we chose Accela, it was affordable. But with new solutions in the market, we can see cheaper ones with the same features."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
