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 product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"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."
"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."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"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."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"It seamlessly integrates with all the SAP Business Suite products such as IoT, AI, Analytics and all other SaaS solutions. The product is very robust and comprehensive."
"The solution makes its use and the management of our infrastructure easy."
"The scalability is excellent, especially on cloud deployment models."
"S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"I can verify and provide the overall financial aid report and also the management report."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"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."
"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 solution's support service could be better."
"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."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"The cost of the solution is quite high. It needs to be adjusted."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
"The solution could improve by making customization easier. The on-premise version is a lot more flexible."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
"If I can highlight one point that could be improved, when we talk about other ERPs, like Oracle, nowadays these ERPs provide free integration with other ERPs. For example, there is an API for banks integrated into every tool and every product form requires that bank integration in order to give real time data into the ERP. But SAP is charging a lot for that particular bank integration scenario and I think it should be free because other ERPs are providing this feature built in to the ERP. People always ask us about the integration and how much it will cost to go with that solution, so people are thinking about this."
"Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable."
"SAP S/4HANA could improve by making the interface easier to use."
"It requires a lot of planning to implement the product correctly."
