We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency.""We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production.""The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."

"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup.""It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects.""The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations.""Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing.""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.""I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly.""We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."

Cons
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual.""There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product.""The solution's support service could be better.""They could include marketing automation for the product."

More Infor CloudSuite Cons →

"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. Infor needs to improve the cloud solution to make the migration from the on-prem customized solution faster and smoother. Otherwise, many clients will find it difficult or expensive to do.""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.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention.""It's not that intuitive.""The solution’s performance could be improved.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."

  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
  • "As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
