We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there.""It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency.""Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments.""It is a scalable solution.""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.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."

More Infor CloudSuite Pros →

"One of the most useful features is we can configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the way that we need. This is configurable.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are all the filters and possible reports.""It ensures that there's continuity, and you don't have to start asking the customer about what happened. From CRM, you can easily see all the interactions and events in the record and take it from there.""This is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is funneling.""The most valuable feature is that because this solution uses the cloud, you only have to install it and allocate it to a user, making it quite easy to use.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the flexibility with Microsoft Office 365.""Integration is the best feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It integrates quickly across multiple apps and has a lot of APIs available that you can link to. It's very customizable, so we're able to tailor it to a client's needs."

Cons
"The solution's support service could be better.""Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""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.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."

More Infor CloudSuite Cons →

"One area for improvement in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its end user feedback. It's still not that great compared to Salesforce. They also need to improve on the look and feel of the solution, because those are still slightly better on Salesforce.""The solution should improve the user experience in the process of creating and activating offers.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM is not that customizable, you can customize it, but a lot of it is still pre-built in a way that you have a lot of details in there that you don't need.""The solution could improve by having better integration documentation.""It could be less complicated for smaller organizations.""Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve the integration with the other system. If they have more flexibility to connect with another system it will be more effective.""This is a good tool, but if you don't have experience using a CRM solution, there are a lot of things you'll need to learn. This tool needs to be more user-friendly.""I am happy with it. If anything, its interface could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is not built on a standard model."
  • "I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
  • "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."
  • "The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
  • "For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."

  • "We have to buy a separate license in order to implement the social listening feature."
  • "It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
  • "I am not the person who pays for Microsoft Dynamics CRM but it is expensive. I have been using Microsoft Azure, which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is built on, and I know we prepaid for the services. For me as a consumer, I do not think I can afford it, mainly because I am only learning how to use the AI and the rate which they charge is high. In general, Microsoft solutions are expensive and this is most likely due to the brand, this is something you expect. However, the price might be high but you receive a highly secure solution."
  • "There is a license required to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM."
  • "The price of the solution is good but could be cheaper."
  • "We have a three-year ELA with all our Microsoft solutions and often we had to do a true-up which was approximately $1,000,000. Additionally, we pay approximately $2,500 a month for support."
  • "Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
  • "The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
