Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Infor LN is a completely integrated product that provides good stability."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"I like the tool’s multisite functionality."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"I have found the user interface very modern and it has simplified many user jobs, such as the embedded logistics. They have introduced central finance which has been a benefit."
"The speed of executing reports has increased significantly. We no longer need day-minus-one business processing."
"I find everything I need in S4/HANA."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"I like the user experience and usability of SAP Fiori, which is one of the main features that we are using."
"One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."
"The in-memory processing capability is most valuable."
"From a technology standpoint, the theory and analytics are fascinating."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."

"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"It's not that intuitive."
"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."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"Lacking in some customizations."
"We found that the implementing partners themselves are struggling with S4HANA's features. It's not an exact translation of the older ECC, so SAP has taken a new route to do things with S4HANA. Maybe it's a good product, but the implementing partners also like to have an in-depth understanding of the full feature set the product offers."
"If S4HANA has more AI and machine learning, it will be better and easier for reporting and dashboarding."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"S/4HANA could be improved with better integration. At the moment, a main issue I see is that there's so much growth in the functionality, complementary modules, and cloud solutions which were acquired by SAP and which extend the functionality of the SAP ERP suite. It looks to me that they tend to acquire more and more functionality from acquisitions, but they don't invest enough effort into making them integrated with S/4HANA or ERP. I would say that the functionality is great, but integration is something which still needs more attention. Instead of focusing on acquisitions, they should invest, integrate, and better the existing portfolio of products in SAP. It would help us, as implementors, to have a more complex or compact solution."
"In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to have more practical intelligence in the system, such as protective maintenance, or artificial intelligence."
"The interface could be improved."
"MRP repost area should be improved. The production information report also needs to be improved."
