Senior Law Enforcement Executive at a comms service provider with 201-500 employees

Offers inventory management, basic ERP functions but outdated interface

The interface looks a bit outdated. Epicor acquired iScala, which was originally developed in Sweden. I'm unsure if their intention is to eventually replace iScala with their primary Epicor ERP or continue developing iScala. Initially, it seemed they might replace it, but it appears iScala will remain a separate product.

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

"The accounting, purchasing, and basic ERP functions work well. But they are a little bit older, but they work for us. The inventory management is good and necessary for any company that manages stock for production or services."

"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."

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

"It offers a facility to get data quickly."

"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."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"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 is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."

"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."

More Infor CloudSuite pros

Cons

"We're facing challenges with iScala in the public sector, specifically healthcare. The system doesn't have sufficient support for the complexities of managing payments for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff."

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

"For the quality department, there is a module called quality, and I feel it has to be a little bit simplified."

"The price of the solution is not good."

"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."

"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."

"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to local ERP solutions, it's on the higher side."

"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

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

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

"The pricing is not built on a standard model."

"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."

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