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.

JD Edwards World's real-time data analytics is very limited, and while it can be helpful, it is not the same as EnterpriseOne. I am currently using inventory management in JD Edwards World. I am satisfied with the security architecture in JD Edwards World; it is very easy and user-friendly. Even in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, it is very adaptable and you have role-based security without needing additional software. I am totally satisfied with the security part of JD Edwards World, but you must just know what you are doing. I am currently using on-premises JD Edwards World. My final mark for JD Edwards World is about five; I think it was good for when it lasted, quite a few years ago, but it is very outdated now. Therefore, the way to go is EnterpriseOne or cloud. For current usage, I would rate JD Edwards World maybe a five. My overall review rating for JD Edwards World is five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has helped a lot in the sense of consolidation and in providing us with real-time information."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"Support for Core ERP is extremely good."
"The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"The solution has very good stability; there aren't any bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"JD Edwards World supports operations in manufacturing and distribution, which are crucial for our organization."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"A global system with a local presence and intercontinental communication, it provides us with a common language, product, and customer base."
"I think JDE ERP is very flexible and very convenient for the users. I think EnterpriseOne is more convenient for users to do the inquiry and do the data entry. The UI is better than JDE World. For JDE products, including the World version, is very flexible. It's a good product for clients."
 

Cons

"The interface can be difficult sometimes."
"Q/A of the product is not up to expectations Users are forced to test the software during implementation"
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable so that it could be available to a broader audience. My clients want more analytics or data analysis features from JD Edwards World."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"JD Edwards World is very outdated and not really supported anymore."
"I have more than 18 years of JDE experience in JDE EnterpriseOne and World versions. I think JDE is good but compared to SAP and Oracle EPS, we can see which area needs to have some improvement for JDE."
"The user interface in JD Edwards World is very crude; I press a button to get to the application, unlike EnterpriseOne, which offers a more finished experience with dashboards."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"There is no support from Oracle here. We only have third-party support."
