Optimize talent management with modular features but needs better reporting
There are difficulties regarding the reporting part. While we have some reporting functionalities, they are not powerful or deep. For instance, the coverage report on a specific effective date provides data effective on the day of the report, which is a significant limitation. Additionally, the available APIs, both inbound and outbound, are not well-developed, preventing the creation of accurate interfaces with other systems. There is also a need to review the reporting infrastructure to build a data lake that would allow customers to access data regardless of the effective date of the information. Moreover, the silos between the different modules need to be removed. Ideally, one would want a report that provides information at the same time from performance and compensation.

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

"The tool provides a lot of options."
"The most valuable feature is you can customize every type of payroll calculation that you have."
"The support team were friendly and work in a systematic way. When contacting support you are able to add a level of priority to your case which is always respected by their team."
"The solution has a great payroll engine."
"Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions."
"The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature."
"Stability of this solution is very good, it's a good product."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the payment engine."
"The employee interface, specifically the UI, is one of the most valuable features in Infor CloudSuite, and after implementing it, I have seen numerous improvements in the UI space, including simplified navigation that has become easier with every CU, which is positive."
"Mainly, we pushed back a $7M plant expansion because we were able to increase throughput with our existing facility."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities."
"If you are working in the food and beverage industry, I would say it's a perfect solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are difficulties regarding the reporting part."
"The user interface could be improved and the maintenance is complex when it comes to upgrades."
"To put it bluntly, the e-Mind product is obsolete older technology, and has no upgrade path for the new PeopleNet product."
"The Solution is stable, yet when the data became huge, the Payroll Users are facing slow execution of the Payroll."
"The first response usually lacks depth, and if it were just an HR user submitting tickets, the outcome might be poor."
"The solution is a little bit slow."
"For companies in the Gulf area, I would not recommend this solution."
"In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"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."
"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."
"There are areas where Infor CloudSuite 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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a cost perspective, I think this is a well-balanced option."
"Meta4 requires annual maintenance that needs to be paid for."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"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 platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
