Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
8.3
Improved throughput postponed a $7M expansion, while productivity and customer satisfaction increased with Infor CloudSuite rated eight out of ten.
Sentiment score
7.0
ServiceNow enhances efficiency, project management, and resource management, offering quick ROI through automation and optimized system integrations.
They have removed the costs associated with on-prem infrastructure, including data center costs, power costs, and physical server costs.
The return on investment is good when implementing for ourselves and for other clients.
Manually, there are huge numbers that come up because these integrated tools help organizations make the right decisions with all the information in one place, while manual methods lack visibility.

Infor CloudSuite's customer support varies; helpful for some, but complex issues often lack effective international assistance.
Sentiment score

ServiceNow's support is praised for knowledge and community resources but criticized for inconsistent response times and outsourced interactions.
Here in Portugal, there's no direct support from Infor.
Technical support from Infor is rated an eight out of ten.
The support is exemplary and deserves a perfect rating.
Obtaining support for maintenance is the current challenge because they don't have a presence in the local market.
I have contacted them four to five times over the past two years, and they have been quite helpful.

I haven't faced any issues with stability; I've rarely seen any downtime.
ServiceNow is stable enough.
 

Room For Improvement

Infor CloudSuite needs documentation enhancements, improved finance reporting, regional pricing adjustments, and better customization in Europe and South Africa.
ServiceNow requires enhanced UI, documentation, integration, performance, training, and mobile features to boost user satisfaction and accessibility.
In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long.
In Europe, it's difficult to find people who already know Infor, which was a problem during implementation.
There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow.
Their customer support could make it a great solution, not just product support but also their relationship with partners and training initiatives in different regions.
From a functionality perspective, the features in ServiceNow are acceptable as, at the moment, the ITSM modules rank highly, being 13 plus Pink Elephant certified, which is a good aspect to have.
 

Setup Cost

Infor CloudSuite pricing varies significantly, offering value with comprehensive features, negotiable rates, and both on-premise and SaaS options.
ServiceNow is costly for small companies but flexible for enterprises, with complex pricing needing negotiation for discounts.
Infor CloudSuite is cheaper than SAP and the license is on a yearly basis.
ServiceNow's pricing can be justified if more functionality is required.
ServiceNow does come with a price.
ServiceNow is expensive for all regions.
 

Valuable Features

Infor CloudSuite offers advanced planning, analytics, automation, and integration, enhancing manufacturing, finance, and sales for large enterprises.
ServiceNow's customization and integration capabilities enhance operational efficiency and align IT operations with business needs effectively.
We handle approximately 500 to 600 orders per day, and the product is excellent for extracting and implementing solutions to check various parameters like client credit status.
Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities.
ServiceNow provides a wide range of functionality, covering all the necessary modules, unlike Jira which is primarily for IT.
Automation capabilities are impressive, bolstered by a vast repository of out-of-the-box connectors and plugins that facilitate integration with various applications worldwide.
The features of ServiceNow that I find most valuable include its ability to easily access ticket details if you know the ticket number, monitor the timeline of when the ticket was created, and see the current status.

Featured Reviews

Dietmar Müller - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides integrated solutions for international business operations
Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities. It does not require hardware or extensive IT expertise, which are standard advantages for cloud solutions. Its integration capabilities with Microsoft features are notable. Additionally, it is a highly scalable and stable solution, useful for large enterprises engaged in international business. It is also easy to maintain compared to other ERP solutions.
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.
