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.""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 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.""It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""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.""Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."

"Salesforce is a very powerful tool which helps us to build that through tools like Process Builder or Flows, or even write code to achieve these scenarios.""The reporting features are useful.""Salesforce Sales Cloud is very reliable and provides good stability and security.""The development cost, maintenance cost, everything will be drastically reduced - unlike traditional infrastructure where we maintain everything on our own.""It is a one-stop shop for running anything related to sales. You can do a lot of things.""The performance is good, and it is easy to use.""Our use case within the organization covers the entire cycle from lead generation, demand planning, and opportunities to realization and closure. For our clients, Salesforce is used more to plot the cycle from products to cash and lead to revenue. They mostly build offers and pricing quotations in the Salesforce environment through their field marketing agents.""Contact records are most valuable."

Cons
"They could include marketing automation for the product.""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.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""It takes time to properly learn what the product can do.""The solution's support service could be better.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""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.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."

More Infor CloudSuite Cons →

"There could be an option to change the price list without creating a new quote.""Applications that can help with migrating data over from the sandbox to production would make it easier because sometimes change sets can be bulky and they're not always as effective. This can be frustrating when you make a lot of changes and try to put those changes into production.""The solution could improve the partner management and communities. For the enterprise licenses, we have the help, but it should also be extended with the features to the partner community.""CI/CD is the biggest room for improvement. Deployment between environments and configuration.""If they could have convenient APIs into the other parts of the corporation that I wish to share data with, that would be helpful.""With the solution being very vast, they need to prioritize features.""Its licensing can be improved to accommodate small companies. They provide a certain number of licenses in a set or batch, and you have to buy the set. For example, if they have 20 licenses in a set, you have to get the whole set, even if you need just three licenses, which could be a barrier for small companies. There is no option to buy fewer licenses. So, small companies have to go for a smaller CRM, such as HubSpot.""We have a very broad set of products at our company. The process to get that information accurately into the Sales Cloud system could use improvement. It shouldn't take weeks of time. The process of identifying products that are being sold for forecasting purposes and sales tracking purposes is too hard."

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."
  • More Infor CloudSuite Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The subscription is on a monthly basis."
  • "The main issue is the price. Because it's SaaS, you will have to pay on a monthly or yearly basis."
  • "It is a premium product, so it is not the cheapest solution. I think if it's implemented well, and you're getting the soft cost benefits, the efficiencies, it's justified. But not if you're looking at just apples for apples as a subscription, without the complexity that you can achieve. It can deal with complex business requirements. Some other CRMs can't. But you certainly pay, so it's a premium-charged solution. It's one of the more expensive ones."
  • "I have found Salesforce Sales Cloud to be expensive. However, it is the number one CRM solution in the world. It is worth the money."
  • "The main thing is it is costly. Salesforce it is not cheap, it's costly. Some of our customers say it is a costly solution. So, we have lost some sale opportunities regarding the high price. This is the main thing that we are facing. It is sales per user and the user price is about $150 per month, per user for the Enterprise Edition. The other edition is less than this, but it is costly. A company that has 70 or 80 users would pay more than $8,000 USD yearly because it is cloud based."
  • "My understanding is that Salesforce is a little bit expensive, but in terms of the efficiencies, automation, and visibility, I think it's definitely value for money."
  • "Implementation and add-ons may be additional costs."
  • "Being license based, the license varies by type. The pricing is considered average."
