Enhancing attendance and leave management but needs better performance customization
Our primary use case for DarwinBox includes managing attendance, payroll-related tasks, and employee appraisal cycles DarwinBox has provided a significant return on investment for our finance team. Managing payroll and attendance manually would require more team members, so using DarwinBox…

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 solution that we used previously was very complex. As a result, without referring to the manuals and consulting an expert, it was difficult for a newly hired employee to navigate the platform. However, this is not the case with Darwinbox. It has a very intuitive user interface, and anyone can use it and implement it without having to use a guide or a walk through process. It's very simple."
"In our company, we use DarwinBox to maintain the data of our employees and for recruitment purposes."
"The most valuable features of the solution are organogram and position-based mapping."
"The leave-related modules are comprehensive, offering built-in functionalities for optional leaves."
"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."
"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."
"What I appreciate most about Infor CloudSuite is the out-of-box standard functionality; it really can function to meet the needs of any company."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"It offers a facility to get data quickly."
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
 

Cons

"DarwinBox is not a stable solution...DarwinBox is not a scalable solution."
"The solution's API integration with third-party applications should be improved."
"Customization in performance management is cumbersome."
"Like most software, it has a base version, the vanilla, out-of-the-box version, and customization is required to match it to the unique processes of each company. The Darwinbox team seems to be having difficulty with the customization process. They have to be a little more mature to customize it as per every company's need."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"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."
"As far as pricing and licensing are concerned, more licenses are needed when companies grow with Infor CloudSuite."
"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."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"For the quality department, there is a module called quality, and I feel it has to be a little bit simplified."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company makes some yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to DarwinBox."
"Compared with SuccessFactors, there is no major difference in DarwinBox's cost."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
