ERP integration transforms automation and financial reporting with good support
I use the solution for the manufacturing process, finance, supply chains, and quality It integrates with robotic processing and automation, enhancing our process automation. It also integrates with the PLC system using Mitsubishi and with the MIS software. The solution covers all modules,…
Carlos  Cardona - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"Most of them who use Infor LN have add-ons connected to ERP. It's either a supplier exchange, or they've got sales problems that are integrated with it."
"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

"Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"The user interface of Infor LN could be more intuitive for common users. Sometimes, it is necessary to have an expert for connections."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"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 training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"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."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"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."
