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…

Worked well for the agents for performance reviews but not for the HR and recruitment teams
When I used to work on Workday, some of the info wasn't accurate, and I had to double-check via Sage People. The company that bought us wanted to use their own product. Their product was Workday, and our product was Sage People. They told us that Workday is like Sage People, but something didn't…

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."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"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 quite user-friendly."
"Workday is easy to use. Timesheet and resource management are also easy."
"I would say that we have definitely seen a return on investment."
"It is easy to use and straightforward."
"In the process of obtaining representative sites in NaviNet, it assists us in facilitating decision-making and taking action."
"The solution was very good at reconfiguration and customization of their software. It helped us to meet federal regulations."
"This product is leaps and bounds above the competition. Part of the reason is that it is built with modern technology. It has no legacy coding in it at all."
"The platform itself is very robust and I generally like the reporting and analytics capability."
 

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."
"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"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."
"They could include marketing automation for the product."
"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 were a lot of issues. There were consistency or accuracy issues with the data we had, and every time we had to pull reports in Workday, it was difficult."
"I would be happy if it was faster. Currently, when I try to navigate within the solution itself, it is a bit slow in terms of the page load time. When I click on something, it usually takes time to load. When you click on different icons or areas on the website, it is slow. Even when you navigate between different models, it is a bit slow. I would like to see a bit faster performance and a better user experience."
"Reporting systems should be improved. If you want to report it on paper, if you want something more BI oriented, more high level predictive or more data-driven, it should be improved."
"The security console should be made less complex."
"They don't have worker payroll in the product. We have to solve our payroll. I hope one day they will be able to have their own localized standard payrolls for all countries."
"Workday does not support many Korean language features. So, it will be great if they have some development on the Korean language side – then it will be really powerful in our market."
"The cost of Workday is certainly not inexpensive. It's very pricey."
"My only suggestion might be to include a brief description of any new fields we introduce, making it easier for people to use them. Perhaps this is something they can consider implementing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"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."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"Its price is pretty high. It is more expensive than what is offered by other competitors in the market."
"The pricing is good from an HR perspective, although management gets upset after spending $500,000 a year, every year."
"Workday is an expensive solution."
"It is on a yearly basis."
"With a bigger budget, I would recommend SAP."
"It has an annual subscription rate, but I'm not sure how it will work."
"It's very, very expensive."
"Workday is moderately priced - I'd rate its pricing three out of five."
