Presents all information in one place and automates some of our manual processes
This product is used by more than 50 colleges in our state and it is purchased by the government. The system office does the testing and pushes out the patches to us, so everything has been testing. Even if there is any customization that needs to be done, it happens before it comes to us. As such, I haven't had to contact technical support myself.

Pros

"I like that all of the student information is in one place."
"The support is excellent. It is a great company."

"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
 

Cons

"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."
"Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"It's not that intuitive."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
