"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards."
"The functionality of SAP S4HANA is very good when comparing it to others, such as Oracle, Microsoft, and other ERP solutions."
"SAP S/4HANA is the preferred database because of its scalability, faster accessibility, compatibility, and other well-suited features for large data sets."
"It is a very scalable solution. We have enterprise-level businesses using this solution."

"It is a very powerful, highly customizable tool."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"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."
"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.

"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."

"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.

"Lacks ability to easily mass upload which has become a necessity for industry."
"You will not see convenient user experiences with SAP S4HANA's website or application."
"There should be a place where I can get the best available applications in one place. Currently, Fiori applications are available in different tiles on the dashboards. If anyone wants to check the financial, sales, and inventory reporting in one place, it is not possible in Fiori. We would have to develop a custom Fiori application. If that feature can be incorporated into the standard Fiori, it will be helpful for us."
"Technical support has been declining. They aren't as responsive as they used to be."
"This product would be improved by adding more reports."
"Their yearly licensing is expensive. Improvements are needed on the user experience level and digital work."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
"Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running."
