We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""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.""It is a scalable solution.""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."

"The most valuable features of SAP ERP is the flexibility and functionality. It is one of the best ERPs I have seen in the market.""The stability and performance are good.""It is a stable solution.""The implementation is very straightforward.""SAP is already working on improvements by doing annual releases with enhancements.""ERP is very stable.""There are many interfaces, so you really can build satellites around it like with other SAP stuff or even third-party stuff.""Finance view across functions is valuable."

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

More Infor CloudSuite Industrial Cons →

"The initial setup is complex.""Poor ergonomics.""Lacks sufficient technical support with slow response times.""The user interface could be improved. For example, sometimes you're missing some data and can't complete a task. There should be some built-in support and suggestions on how to solve your problem. I would also like the interface to be optimized to work better with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.""The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better.""When there is a system error it provides an error code and a lot of times these can be complicated. The support team could have more knowledge to be able to assist with these situations more promptly.""I would like to see more integration with other partners. Some of our customers already use specific or in-house applications for their business processes. They do not want to replace those applications.""It has a high cost."

  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
  • "As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
