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…

Easy to use, flexible, and offers good support along with good integration capabilities
The form builder works even though it has some shortcomings. However, for me, the form builder could improve. Some stuff in the tool lacks some essential functionalities in other software. So in automation, they don't have a few things. So, normally with almost every email automation tool, you can segment people. Also, if you open the email or you didn't open it, or you click, or you didn't click, are a few things they don't have in the solution. Also, the forms don't have the ability to avoid or stop people from signing up if they don't have a corporate email. In short, the solution should have more automation options in the campaigns and also the ability to segment better in their forms, which can make it possible to not allow people to sign up if they don't have a corporate email, for example. The ability to segment in the forms is a small feature. However, if you are going to sign up on my form, I should be able to avoid or prevent you from signing up if you don't provide any mail, specifically a corporate email. So, one can sign up on their phone with email, Hotmail, or whatever, and I would like to filter that. It's a small feature, but I'm generally happy with the rest of the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"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 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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"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 most useful thing is the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting."
"It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model."
"The solution is pretty easy to use and intuitive."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"The most useful stuff for me is that it's very flexible with all the data structures...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a stable platform."
"The biggest and the best feature is the view that you get when you log in. You have a board like Kanban when you log in, and you've got a column on the left and several other columns that move to the right, depending on where you are in a particular deal. If it's a prospect or someone who is just looking, you move it along the process, and it really helps you keep track of where you are."
"The usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"They could include marketing automation for the product."
"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 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."
"The integration possibilities with other systems could be better as well. We use it in connection with Octopus CRM, and there's room for improvement."
"The tool's APIs are challenging. It should also be compliant with HIPAA, FINRA and GLBA. The data centers should be within US so that they are compliant with regulations."
"The product is expensive."
"In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce. The documentation of Pipedrive could improve. They need more qualified documentation because I had to fix my colleague's work to correct the reports because they did not find how they can do it, or develop reports. There are some misunderstandings about how to do reporting."
"The automation process is challenging."
"We are using the lowest version of it. As we become more sophisticated, we might outgrow the tool, but there are features that are available in the higher-level versions, which I'm unfamiliar with, that might be able to meet the needs we would have in the future. They can maybe add some of the features to the basic version or make it more reasonably priced or free."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"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."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"The solution is affordable."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
