Executive Director, Digital & Technology at a tech consulting company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Integration and flexibility deliver outstanding business experiences with innovative platforms enhancements

Scale is a primary concern. If the product vision continues to serve small and mid-cap companies, they need to continue incorporating features into the out-of-the-box solution because small-caps typically lack budget for in-house IT organizations to customize and maintain systems. If they want to expand beyond mid-cap and enter the large-cap market, they need to consider balance and provide more customizability. This includes extending process flows through more APIs and building a more modular architecture with granular backend exposed via API. The process layer should allow clients to customize while invoking back-office APIs. The general perception positions Microsoft Dynamics GP in the middle of the market. Systems such as NetSuite and ServiceNow occupy the lower category, providing narrow use cases. Microsoft Dynamics GP offers more breadth and out-of-the-box capabilities at a slightly higher price point. At the top end, SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce offer extensive customizability at a premium price, suitable for large organizations with multiple transactions and customers. Microsoft Dynamics GP currently occupies a favorable position in the middle segment with limited competition.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."

"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."

"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."

"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."

"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."

"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."

"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."

"The support is excellent. It is a great company."

More Infor LN pros

"It is strong in integration."

"Microsoft Dynamics GP has supported our compliance with industry regulations completely."

"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."

"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."

"The stability was reliable."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily update and maintain accurate data across all aspects of our operations."

"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."

"Snowflake's ability to handle large queries efficiently is very beneficial, unlike other databases which can take a significant amount of time for similar tasks."

More Microsoft Dynamics GP pros

Cons

"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."

"While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows. In the new normal, it could stand to incorporate quite a few automation processes like the RPA and utilize machine learning in the Internet of Things."

"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."

"The user interface needs improvement. They should add more automation to reduce the number of clicks per operation."

"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."

"It's not that intuitive."

"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 user interface of Infor LN is not very user-friendly."

More Infor LN cons

"Dynamics GP could be improved in terms of its usability and modernization."

"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."

"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."

"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."

"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."

"With payroll, the payroll that they have offers US or Canadian tax. However, here, our tax payments are different from the US and Canada. It is very difficult to put in our tax tables. We need some customization. It should be readily available for any country to use according to their tax implications. The system should know different types of tax regimes around the world so that it can accommodate. It's a little bit rigid on that."

"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."

"Scale is a primary concern. If the product vision continues to serve small and mid-cap companies, they need to continue incorporating features into the out-of-the-box solution because small-caps typically lack budget for in-house IT organizations to customize and maintain systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."

"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."

"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."

"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 tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."

"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."

"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."

More Infor LN pricing and cost advice

"I would say that the pricing is moderate, not cheap, and not expensive. There are many more expensive ERPs than GP, and there are less expensive as well, so it is moderately priced."

"I think the tool is competitively priced and it's more of a one-time investment with a low annual renewal fee."

"It is an affordable solution."

"The solution's price is steep."

"We evaluated some local products, because of the pricing, but this product has better features and support."

"In comparison to other ERP systems, the pricing is not necessarily inexpensive, but it can be considered more cost-effective."
