Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"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."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"Infor LN has led to money saving and cost savings since I started using it."
"Infor LN is compatible with our company size and is cost-effective compared to other ERP solutions like SAP."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management has helped by making processes such as calculating costs, accessing inventory information quickly, validating offers, and extracting data easier."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"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."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"The user interface needs improvement."
"The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it."
"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"It's not that intuitive."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"The standard pricing is two thousand per year per user. There are no additional costs."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"We have to pay a licensing fee for the solution."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"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."
"Compared to other high-end ERP software, Infor LN's cost of ownership is lower. The difference isn't huge, though."
"It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
"The cost is not expensive."
"The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
"The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
