Infor Ln Manufacturing Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Cloud deployment has streamlined complex manufacturing projects and supports faster implementations
The workflow configuration, alert configuration, and report designing could be a bit easier. It is easy now, but it needs some technical guidance in terms of writing code, fixing it, and making it more flexible for users. The improvement needed in this area is around twenty percent. Seventy to eighty percent is user-friendly, but if Infor can put more energies into making this easier, that would be beneficial. Extensions and any customizations are also a bit technical. If they can make it a simple drag and drop, low code or no code method, it would be easier. Another area for improvement is AI integration. As we are in the AI era, Infor is putting energies into integrating AI within the application, but they are still in progress. If AI can be integrated so that customers or users can interact with it, that would be beneficial. If users want any information from the system or application, it should be a chat-based, user-friendly interaction so that they can get insights in real time. AI integration would add an advantage on a greater level, and Infor should focus on this improvement area.

Manufacturing planning has become efficient and supports integrated shop floor and quality control
For manufacturing, Infor LX is very strong on the MRP side with MRP and MPS capabilities, and even shop floor functionality. The platform has quality control features, and there are many additional features available. There is also integration with finance. Overall, for manufacturing, it is very good. There are many modules that have been implemented including inbound, outbound, and logistics. Primarily for manufacturing and the processing side, everything is excellent. It's a solid, proven product. Infor LX's material planning feature is quite a flexible solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest advantage when you start using Infor LN is the implementation accelerators where you have access to pre-configured or pre-tailored data points and dashboards that suit the specific industry."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"We like the recent customization features that Infor is providing, such as extensibility, which do not impact on version upgrades."
"In terms of ease of use and product vision, Infor LN stands tall."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"Mainly for manufacturing and processing, everything is excellent."
"I've been using it since December 2009, and it has been absolutely stable till now."
"Infor LX has improved my customers' manufacturing processes by creating a standard in the process, which improves performance in manufacturing as well as finance, distribution, and supply chain."
"One of the major advantages of Infor LX is the stability of the program."
"Infor LX has helped us in conducting efficient production planning, streamlining procurement processes, and maintaining a reliable source of information for our vendors and procurement purchase orders."
"This solution has brought structure and shape to our day-to-day operations."
"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"The most important feature of Infor LX for me is the use of models for accounting, which create effects in different layers simultaneously."
 

Cons

"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"From a technical perspective, LN needs to work on customization and integration. It's fairly expensive for many clients to migrate from a customized private solution to the cloud. Infor needs to improve the cloud solution to make the migration from the on-prem customized solution faster and smoother. Otherwise, many clients will find it difficult or expensive to do."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"Infor is not very much into the market as of yet, which means that its products are not yet public and this precludes students learning about the Infor products on their own."
"The freight management module is a bit complex and can be improved."
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."
"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
"From a supporting point of view, Infor LX is not quite what I see with SAP and other areas."
"The user interface of Infor LX needs significant enhancement to be more user-friendly."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"The interface needs enhancement, as I am still using outdated screens. I would benefit from a more integrated interface."
"Infor needs more APIs, as in the current version, APIs are not fully developed. The development of APIs must be enhanced, especially for AS400."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The licensing costs for this solution are payable annually. Standard licenses are available, but there is also the option to pay to add extra features."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
