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,…

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

"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"Infor LN has led to money saving and cost savings since I started using it."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"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

"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"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 user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"The price is challenging in the market."
"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"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."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"The cost is somewhat high."
