Facilitates streamlined business processes and consolidation of divisions
The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs. It simplifies tracking by following every transaction in the system, allowing finance to see online each finance transaction from production orders, purchase orders, inventory, and project-wise. Infor LN helps consolidate divisions into one language, facilitating time and cost savings.

Integration and customization streamline complex processes for improved efficiency
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. Other software like Salesforce or Cognos offers a good user interface where users find it intuitive to navigate. It should be more accessible, even for those who have never interacted with JD Edwards World before.

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."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"The pricing is okay. It's not overly expensive."
"The solution's UI is user friendly and has good performance and good search facility."
"I rate JD Edwards World as an eight."
"The most valuable feature of JD Edwards World is its ease of use and unique functions."
"The most valuable feature in JD Edwards World is World Writer, the reporting functionality; inventory management in JD Edwards World is useful and it helps with supply chain as long as the setup is done correctly."
"The ease of use is consistently there."
"We've found the initial setup to be easy."
"Collecting data in standard formats for processing in a data warehouse."
 

Cons

"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"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."
"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"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."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"I would like report creation to be easier."
"The flexibility and ability to integrate external applications are increasingly vital."
"Update interface capabilities and data maintenance tools to modern standards."
"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."
"There are a lot of new technologies coming out and JD Edwards World could improve by having better integration with other databases. The integration with the databases and applications should be in real-time, such as with Oracle."
"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."
"The interfaces need to be more user-friendly. For example, our purchaser had difficulties updating prices as it required updating line by line."
"Its end of life is already announced, so I don't expect lots of improvement coming from the product anywhere anymore."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"The price of the solution can vary."
"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."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"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 pricing for JD Edwards World could be more affordable."
"The price of JD Edwards World is reasonable. Since it is a legacy solution the price has been reduced."
"You have to pay for a license, and the license cost is calculated based on the number of users you have."
