"I like the tool’s multisite functionality.""The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations.""The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards.""Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing.""Most of them who use Infor LN have add-ons connected to ERP. It's either a supplier exchange, or they've got sales problems that are integrated with it.""I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly.""The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules.

Cons
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP.""Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story.""Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people.""The tool should provide a better user interface.""In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing.""I would like to see a better reporting tool.""A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10.""There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."

More Epicor ERP Cons →

"The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it.""The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""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.""I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature.""When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more.""The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
