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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most of them who use Infor LN have add-ons connected to ERP. It's either a supplier exchange, or they've got sales problems that are integrated with it."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"The solution covers all modules, similar to Oracle and SAP."
"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 is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"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."
"The best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle. The solution has effective project, document, and application management. Additionally, the collaboration is fantastic, it is well integrated, and can be customized."
"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 initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The interface is rich in features, allowing efficient management of business operations."
"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 solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
 

Cons

"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"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 finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"The price is challenging in the market."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"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."
"Additionally, the price is challenging in the market."
"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."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
"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."
"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."
"Integration with other tools like BOM or Cisco BlueQ could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s AMC and support are given on a yearly basis. You need to make monthly payments for support."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"I would say that Infor's pricing is competitive compared to other ERP solutions available in the market, such as SAP and Oracle."
"Infor LN is a free solution, and everything is included in the package, such as add-ons."
"The cost is not expensive."
"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 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."
