Partner, Financial Services at Deloitte TT

The solution is easy to deploy and enables collaboration, but it must improve its speed and enable users to create pivot tables

I rate the ease of setup an eight out of ten. The initial setup was straightforward. The solution is cloud-based. We deployed the product along with Wdata in six months. It was for a lot of use cases. To deploy the tool, we designed the use cases and developed them. Then, we went through unit tests, integration tests, and user acceptance tests. It was an Agile delivery cycle.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Infor CloudSuite offers a comprehensive solution with integrated business intelligence and artificial intelligence capabilities."

"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."

"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"The stability of the solution is perfect. I rate it a ten out of ten."

"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."

"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."

More Infor CloudSuite pros

"It helps you to maintain a backup of your data, including the connectivity with the tables, which provides a user-friendly way to handle and access your files."

"The collaboration within the platform is valuable."

"It makes the compliance process more efficient and more effective."

"The cross-functionality between connectivity, whether through API connections between different software platforms or the connection of data collection to the actual written ESG report, is highly valuable. The connectivity of all these aspects significantly aids in data assurance, which I consider a bonus."

"Workiva Wdesk has a flow diagram that is standardized, making it easy for people to file documents on ECDAs, which are in HTML format."

"Workiva Wdesk is pretty good in terms of getting the data from the system, automating the reporting schedules...It has a very good integration with ERP tools."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to easily upload and update financial results, creating a dynamic data sheet."

Cons

"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."

"In Germany, there aren't enough IT specialists for customization and software development, causing projects to take too long."

"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."

"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 solution's support service could be better."

"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."

"The price of the solution is not good. In Europe, it's difficult to find people who already know Infor, which was a problem during implementation."

More Infor CloudSuite cons

"The tool's script encoding needs to be updated to make it more user-friendly and less of a manual process when changes are made to a company's program. Those changes happen frequently due to mandatory or voluntary reporting requirements, leading to lost linkage connections that must be manually reset each time a change is made. This aspect is not functional now, and I see it as an opportunity for improvement."

"With this product, it's more about the integrated data model where you can have a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship between your policies and processes, risks, and controls. They need to showcase how you can put those pieces together."

"The most critical issue is the need to shift between uppercase and lowercase."

"At this point, I don't see a compelling reason to invest in Workiva. It may be necessary for compliance and controlling the version of SCC, but not everyone needs its high-end capabilities."

"Regarding the solution, reporting has certain areas that can be considered for improvement."

"One area where Workiva Wdesk could improve is by ensuring that its cloud-based system is fully compatible with the most current versions of PowerPoint and Excel."

"The speed must be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not built on a standard model."

"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"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."

"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."

"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."

"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."

"Our clients in Asia think that the solution is too expensive."
