The solution has effective project, document, and application management.

Cons
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved.""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.""One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication.""It's not that intuitive.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement.""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 user interface needs to be improved.""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."

More Infor LN Cons →

"I would love to have more reporting capabilities. It should have an embedded BI engine. Currently, I have to maintain an additional system for BI.""Our company is expanding to different countries, and business is growing. We feel that it is not good enough for the huge volume of the business. On-premises setup is not good enough for the overseas office. We have our onsite premises in Hong Kong, but we have a major sales office in the US. We are looking for a more efficient setup to fulfill our requirements and needs. It can have portals for vendors, suppliers, and customers. I know that they have this feature in version 10, but it still has space to improve.""You get support through the vendor, not SAP directly. If your vendor is good, you get good support. If it is not a good vendor, the support is very bad.""Overall, the integration and the reports can be better.""The user interface could be improved with drag-and-drop functionality that it currently lacks.""The price could improve for SAP Business One.""The installation process could be easier. They should have better tools to improve the effectiveness of the installation.""SAP Business One could improve by automatically inputting exchange rates in the software. We currently have to enter them manually to find the appropriate exchange rates from a website. If it could be done with one click it would be helpful and more straightforward."
