Pros
"It is a scalable solution.""The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""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.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""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.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""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."

"Scales up very well.""It's very fully featured. It has more features and more configurability than SAP.""The recruiting is most valuable. It saves time in having easy and fast applicants tracking as well as candidates' contact plus pipeline management.""We use a lot of typical cases from PeopleSoft, for example, solutions for security, business performance, monitoring processes, and a lot of training.""PeopleSoft is resilient and has the flexibility for us to customize it.""All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial.""The PeopleSoft interface is very good.""A solid and mature product."

Cons
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""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.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""The solution's support service could be better.""Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""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."

"The area that could be improved is the upgrade process, it's not the easiest. Oracle stopped supporting our version. So we have to move either to the cloud or work in a non-supported situation. That was certainly a disadvantage. That's also the reason why we decided not to stay with Oracle. Now we are moving to SAP.""The solution needs to work on its mobile technology. We're hoping in the next version we're working on implementing, 9.2, will have more of this.""PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration.""Response time takes very long and requires a person to be awake night and day to benefit from it.""It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development.""Often support just asks people to install a lot of upgrades. Sometimes they don't really give you clear details as to why you need to upgrade. They just say, "You need to upgrade this because there's a newer image, etc". They never really give you the reason underlying why you are having errors.""Global payroll could be easier to use.""My developers want to use more HTML instead of the specialized tool, PeopleTools because, they say, it's better from a user perspective."
