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.

Integration capabilities facilitate efficient data management and enhance customer service, but the analytics requires improvement
The analytics capabilities in Siebel CRM have presented numerous challenges. Due to these challenges, we had to integrate Microsoft Power BI. The CRM analytics was not sufficient for our needs, given that we have four million customers and a thousand products. We are currently focusing on the upgrade and discussing with Oracle. If there have been improvements in the analytics side over the past few years, we are open to evaluating them. Currently, all analytics are being done on Power BI. The data is exported to our data lake, and Power BI is being used for all reporting and analytics. Even our customer 360, which is the core of any CRM, has Power BI widgets built-in through iframe because we could not accomplish this through Siebel CRM. The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."
"Infor CloudSuite is a kind of ERP that is suitable for a medium or small discrete manufacturer, especially in the health sector, life sciences, and biotechnologies."
"Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"Mainly, we pushed back a $7M plant expansion because we were able to increase throughput with our existing facility."
"The employee interface, specifically the UI, is one of the most valuable features in Infor CloudSuite, and after implementing it, I have seen numerous improvements in the UI space, including simplified navigation that has become easier with every CU, which is positive."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
"It is a stable solution, but because it is an on-premises one, we have slow response rates at times."
"It is easier to communicate with local companies within a large organization using Siebel CRM."
"The capability of bringing data into a single system, along with integrations and offering a single platform to handle multiple customer-related tasks, has been the most productive aspect."
"The solution is scalable."
"Siebel CRM has enhanced customer engagement for our organization, particularly through its robust data model and flexible features. One specific scenario where Siebel CRM excelled was in addressing complex client requirements. For instance, we successfully implemented a module for email responses, a feature that was not readily available or as robust as other CRM tools. Additionally, Siebel's open UI module allowed us to customize the user interface for one of our clients completely. This customization proved to be a major selling point for our company."
"The flexibility is very good."
"We moved from an excel sheet to Siebel so it did help us initially in digitizing CRM related business processes and was positioned as single source of truth for CRM."
 

Cons

"It required more time than I had with it to learn it well enough."
"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."
"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."
"Customer Service: Infor is impossible, but if you have a good reseller partner, they can handle just about any issues."
"As far as pricing and licensing are concerned, more licenses are needed when companies grow with Infor CloudSuite."
"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."
"Infor OS is powerful, but the documentation is terrible."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"The latest versions of this solution are not stable. I have been working on the latest version for three and a half years and I'm still experiencing issues with stability."
"The analytics component has been the main pain point for our organization, particularly due to processing time and performance with our large customer base."
"The problem with Siebel is that everything is customizable in it. It's probably over-engineered, which makes it difficult to use, and it makes it difficult for the users to get started with the system."
"We had opened several cases. I am not at all satisfied with the support of Oracle."
"The user interface, mobile application, and support could be improved."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"The backend performance of Siebel could be improved as it is often slow. In addition, the Open UI is not that responsive."
"Siebel is pricey compared to other CRM tools. That's the problem. Although it's a highly stable and functionally rich application, customers are not willing to pay that price for it. Customers can find CRM software that gives them similar functionality at a lower price. There are so many others on the market like Salesforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"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."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions in the market. This makes it difficult to convince our customers to use it. The customers who are already using Siebel have thought about moving to Velocity or Salesforce."
"I think the tool’s pricing is exaggerated. Once you do the price sizing as per your business needs, you would find that the price of other solutions like Zoho CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesforce CRM, etc. would be always the same."
"The price of Siebel CRM depends on the usage of the business requirement. For large enterprises the price it's very good but if you are using it for medium scale enterprises, the price is very expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"Its licensing is yearly."
