Strong ability to customize, but require improvements to their BOM configuration

In the next release, I would like to see improvements to their BOM configuration. Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems. The solution also needs better capabilities of the features it has. I am looking for it to have modeling, project planning, and MES capabilities as well as a built-in CAD tool.

Advanced forecasting and analysis capabilities

In terms of improvements, we can add new features that customers are demanding, such as service and quality improvements. For instance, we could have a model to predict the expected quality, which can be imported and developed as a new feature. We can improve quality features, and there is room for enhancement. Additionally, we can also improve service-related features by adding new functionalities. Each department has its workflow. But there is a hierarchy for pricing, and managers should be approached in such cases. So, there can be a more stabilized way of having a single point of contact to approach at any time. It is already there, but some more enhancements would be good. Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle. Some more workloads need to be done to integrate those tools, and we can have some enhancements on integration. ION is a very good tool, and we use web services already. The old system of using RESTful APIs has been eradicated, and the super approval trial is good. So, this tool is a refined way of working with services where it integrates any third-party tool. But, some of the older versions may need additional adjustments to integrate properly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I love that Aras has a utility or tool that you can use online to extend Aras."

"The most valuable features are the ease of workflow configuration and customisation development."

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

"It is a very scalable solution."

"Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities."

"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."

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

"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 offers a facility to get data quickly."

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

Cons

"Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems."

"Better Manufacturing BOM management would be valuable."

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

"The solution's support service could be better."

"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."

"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."

"The price of the solution is not good. In Europe, it's difficult to find people who already know Infor, which was a problem during implementation."

"They could include marketing automation for the product."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."

"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."

"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 pricing is not built on a standard model."

"It is a cost-effective solution."
