We performed a comparison between IFS Cloud Platform and Infor LN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main reason for the ERP project was to bring together our fourteen sites, which had until then worked in separate silos."
"One of our favorite features is the "Info-Zone", which provides operational intelligence in flight and in context to guide both business users and support teams to productivity."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"Individual user profiles that can be configured as templates to minimize data entry."
"When it comes to financing, the solution has helped us to concentrate finance functions like accounting processes in one system. This includes about 70 internal entities around the world."
"There tends not to be a massive weakness in the product itself, as weaknesses can quickly be resolved in the next patch or the next release."
"The most valuable feature is the distribution module."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."
"The next version has already been released, and some of the technical things are a little bit behind the curve in development. This is specifically security, maintenance, security role maintenance, and creation. This is in their new product, called IFS Cloud."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It would be ideal if, in the future, the product could incorporate IoT and blockchain elements. We'd like to explore more of these types of features going forward."
"We have upgraded to the latest version right now. We have issues with the quality. We tried to enroll in their Evergreen program which was meant to help us adopt any service update or anything that the tool’s providers come up with."
"The integration is a bit complex, and post-implementation support services need to be improved. They have a service center based out of Sri Lanka. The support aspect is good, but the response time is a little slower than we anticipated. In the next release, it would be better if Warehouse Management could be improvised. They have a product line that's a data warehouse management system, but it's still premature and requires a bit of enhancement."
"Aspects of HR and payroll could be better."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The technical support my company receives from the implementation partners of the solution is not that great."
"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."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"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."
"It's not that intuitive."
