Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN.""The initial setup is easy.""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.""LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants.""I like the tool’s multisite functionality.""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."

More Infor VISUAL Pros →

Cons
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem.""When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more.""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.""Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement.""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.""The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
