More Infor LX Pros →

"This is an all-in-one ERP solution for small businesses. Everything is linked. Once you have this, you have all the features available in SAP. You have PR, inventory items, journal entry, and project management features.""The most valuable feature of Business One depends on the industry. Generally speaking, Business One works best in automotive industry use cases.""It offers users a rather simple interface.""It's useful for users and it's simple to work with.""Business One's best feature is that all the modules are integrated.""Sales CRM and Financials are most valuable.""The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) feature of SAP Business One has been most beneficial for our reporting needs.""The sales and wholesale distribution are great."

Cons
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX.""The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved.""It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting.""It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."

More Infor LX Cons →

"The analytics data capabilities could improve which will provide businesses with much more insight into how their companies are performing.""The standard SAP Business One is sufficient for the Indian region. There is no need for further enhancement as custom solutions can be designed and developed to meet specific needs. For example, HR and payroll is not a standard feature of the solution, but they can be created as a separate custom solution. However, payroll is not a standard function due to the varying norms and regulations across India's 29 states and union territories. Therefore, a standard payroll solution cannot be provided by SAP to add utility and features. Adding it would lead to different versions of the solution and more complexity in managing them. However, it would be useful to have addons to cover the other states which have different regulations.""Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll.""Our business has grown beyond the capabilities of Business One. We need a bigger ERP solution, and therefore we are moving away.""Business One's production module has room for improvement.""More support can be provided on the web client end.""Security could be improved.""There is room for improvement in stability."

  • "Business One is reasonable considering the functionality."
  • "In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC."

  • "We pay annually. It is around 800 a month."
  • "We feel that the licensing fees are a bit on the higher side."
  • "We compared the Microsoft solution with Oracle NetSuite, as they have a price decrease. It is, however, not that much cheaper, and the price is comparable to SAP."
  • "Its price is reasonable. We have about 200 licenses. We have to pay every year for the license."
