Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to deploy a generic implementation without advanced customization."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"The most valuable features of Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"The best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle. The solution has effective project, document, and application management. Additionally, the collaboration is fantastic, it is well integrated, and can be customized."
"The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
 

Cons

"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"From a technical perspective, LN needs to work on customization and integration. It's fairly expensive for many clients to migrate from a customized private solution to the cloud. Infor needs to improve the cloud solution to make the migration from the on-prem customized solution faster and smoother. Otherwise, many clients will find it difficult or expensive to do."
"While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows. In the new normal, it could stand to incorporate quite a few automation processes like the RPA and utilize machine learning in the Internet of Things."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"The licensing costs for this solution are payable annually. Standard licenses are available, but there is also the option to pay to add extra features."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
