Full Stack Developer - TAMM OS/ Accela at Department of Health Abu Dhabi

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.

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."

"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."

"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."

"The stability of the solution is perfect. I rate it a ten out of ten."

"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."

"Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live."

"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."

"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."

"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."

More Infor CloudSuite pros

Cons

"I would like to see integration with analytics and the Power BI dashboard."

"The tool's performance becomes slow with usage. Its deployment is also complicated."

"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."

"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."

"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."

"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."

"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."

"The price of the solution is not good."

"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."

"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."

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."

"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."

"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."

"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 pricing is not built on a standard model."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
