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,…
Nicola Degliesposti - PeerSpot reviewer
The product lacks a lot of features and technology, though it is the most stable solution in the market
The product lacks a lot of features and technology. It is really limited. The tool must improve in almost all areas. There are a lot of things that should be improved in the manufacturing and shop floor, logistics and warehousing, and master data both from a functionality and technology standpoint. The solution must have a better WMS to improve the logistics and workflow and handle the processes within the system. The collaboration must be improved. The product must be more flexible and allow customization. It must allow the users to personalize the application in a better way. The tool lacks a lot in the purchasing area. The documents and process of purchasing are limited and simple. In the sales domain, there are no enhancements to calculate forecast and shipment programs. We cannot optimize transportation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Infor LN has led to money saving and cost savings since I started using it."
"The initial setup is easy."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The support is excellent. It is a great company."
"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."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."
"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do."
 

Cons

"The user interface of Infor LN could be more intuitive for common users. Sometimes, it is necessary to have an expert for connections."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"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."
"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 improvement. They should add more automation to reduce the number of clicks per operation."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"The product lacks a lot of features and technology."
"Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"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."
"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."
