Improved transparency in sales processes but could use more flexibility in customization
In terms of Supply Chain Management support, we're still exploring its capabilities since we're relatively new to using ERP systems As for its impact on manufacturing efficiency, we're still in the development stage, but we expect it to improve our factory operations, especially with features…

You can leverage alerts and workflows and customize reports using the Report Designer
The initial setup is straightforward, depending on the knowledge levels of your consultants. The process follows the Infor method of 60-30-10. 60% of the setup involves out-of-the-box solutions and accelerators, making the rollout easier and faster. The remaining 30% may require minimal customizations on a case-by-case basis. The last 10% involves addressing specific customer requirements. Following this method facilitates a smoother rollout and faster implementation. It depends on the kind of modules, but it takes between six to eight months. If there are fewer modules and you want to fast-track it, it can be done in four months. You could also probably use the benefit of Infor's actual data. I would rate the initial setup as an eight or nine out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"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."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
More Infor CloudSuite pros
"Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle. The solution has effective project, document, and application management. Additionally, the collaboration is fantastic, it is well integrated, and can be customized."
"The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
More Infor LN pros
 

Cons

"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"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."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"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."
"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."
More Infor CloudSuite cons
"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."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"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."
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"It's not that intuitive."
More Infor LN cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"The licensing costs for this solution are payable annually. Standard licenses are available, but there is also the option to pay to add extra features."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
