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,…
Tapas Karmakar - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration capabilities and reporting functions enhance workflow efficiency
The primary issue I have observed is that when JD Edwards World is installed, it involves a shared architecture between the development, test, and production environments. This setup should be avoided. Additionally, Oracle should integrate some AI features into JD Edwards World but not rely entirely on AI due to potential disadvantages, such as increased electricity consumption impacting global warming. Improvements are also needed in tech support, specifically in response time and quality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"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."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"The project module is the best that I've ever seen, and more than that, it's the company's flexibility to change. It means that in our company, Infor LN has the capability to support many kinds of industries."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"It has worked fine for many years."
"Menu creation is easier now."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
"The most valuable feature for me is the traceability customization, which allows me to track the movement and history of artifacts in our ecosystem."
"Overall, its flexibility and technological capabilities make it very valuable for my customers."
"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."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
 

Cons

"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"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."
"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 finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"The user interface needs improvement. They should add more automation to reduce the number of clicks per operation."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"Improvements are needed in transitioning JD Edwards World to a more stable and reliable cloud product, particularly in terms of GDPR and data privacy compliance."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"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."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"The technical support from Oracle needs a lot of improvement. Both the response time and quality of support require enhancement."
"Having tools that allow for small but fast adaptations of packages is crucial, as needing skilled programmers for every minor report or mask adaptation is a constraint my customers no longer favor."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"The pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
