Room For Improvement

Infor CloudSuite requires improved documentation, IoT integration, user interface, and better pricing and customization resources for global markets.
Intercom must tackle high costs, simplify UI, expand database, enhance AI language understanding, and CRM functionality.
In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long.
Key Account Manager at Cronon GmbH
The user interface isn't that intuitive. Compared to other solutions, such as top-tier options such as Oracle or SAP, this stands out as an area needing improvement.
Project Manager, Program at SPTLabtech
In Europe, it's difficult to find people who already know Infor, which was a problem during implementation.

Fin is extremely expensive.

It would be beneficial if there was a way to train the AI to better understand customer language.

I would recommend that Intercom Customer Communications Platform increase its database capacity to manage more than 1,000 partners, considering that each partner can send approximately 10 requests daily.

Project Manager, Program at SPTLabtech
Integrated planning has improved document automation but reporting and user experience still need work
There are areas where Infor CloudSuite can improve. I have touched on the pros and key strengths of Infor CloudSuite, but end-user feedback indicates that there are several areas where the user experience can improve. For instance, when it comes to reporting, it comes with a very limited number of reports, and the standard reports are clunky, requiring a technical resource or developer to enhance or make them presentable. Another area is user experience; it takes several clicks to get to the information, and the user interface isn't that intuitive. Compared to other solutions, such as top-tier options such as Oracle or SAP, this stands out as an area needing improvement. When it comes to integration, Infor CloudSuite does offer a great deal of flexibility. It comes with APIs, so you can integrate with any third-party systems you may use. On that front, it's sufficient; however, it does require some specialized resources, as it's not a layman's job, and developers need to help with the integration. This is generally the case for any ERP. The user interface could indeed be better, and there is a steep learning curve for users; it takes time for them to get accustomed to Infor CloudSuite's interface and forms. However, once users adapt, it becomes easier and smoother to navigate. There are great features associated with Infor CloudSuite, such as DataViews and Birst as a business intelligence tool, which can be integrated with the basic product. Implementing Birst isn't plug-and-play; it requires a team of technical resources to execute. Additionally, there is a feature that allows integration with Excel, which can be installed by your IT team.
Esse Wognin - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Partner Support Analyst at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
AI support has transformed customer loyalty and has maintained high satisfaction levels
I would recommend that Intercom Customer Communications Platform increase its database capacity to manage more than 1,000 partners, considering that each partner can send approximately 10 requests daily. When partner numbers exceed 1,000, we sometimes experience complications in quickly processing all the queries we receive. I believe Intercom Customer Communications Platform could perform better for larger companies like mine to coordinate and manage all our partners across the world.The second suggestion concerns the complexity of pricing. Intercom Customer Communications Platform has very complex pricing structures. While this was not a real issue for my company, as someone interested in entrepreneurship and starting a business, Intercom Customer Communications Platform is very costly for startups and people wanting to launch businesses. If Intercom Customer Communications Platform reviews its pricing and creates plans specifically for startups, I am certain they would reach a much larger market. The integration of Intercom Customer Communications Platform is great because we have more than 100 integration options available. When it comes to user interface, it is more intuitive but somewhat difficult. When I started my job without prior CRM knowledge, it took me approximately two weeks to understand the platform and use it at full capacity. I believe they could improve the user interface by collaborating with users and gathering suggestions. I am very happy to provide this feedback to Intercom Customer Communications Platform and work with them on the user experience side to ensure the app is ready to use for people without customer management experience. I will give eight out of 10 for integrations and six out of 10 for user interface.
