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.

Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"In terms of ease of use and product vision, Infor LN stands tall."
"The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies."
"With Infor LN, many of the processes have been streamlined because it has a central repository of all the data."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The product is highly scalable but setup is a bit complicated."
"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
 

Cons

"While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows. In the new normal, it could stand to incorporate quite a few automation processes like the RPA and utilize machine learning in the Internet of Things."
"It's not that intuitive."
"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."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The User Interface needs to be more user friendly with a sleeker design and the industry best practice processes needs to be implemented."
"From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"If you use Infor LN in Infor CloudSuite, there is a need to make an early payment for a license, which is approximately 2,500 EUR."
