Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good.""I like the tool’s multisite functionality.""Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing.""We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product.""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.""It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects.""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."

More Infor LN Pros →

"We leverage the core platform but are able to add additional functionality for ease of use, tailored processes, and industry related reporting.""The user interface is very good.""I would say that the solution is highly configurable.""The most valuable aspect of NetSuite ERP is the multi-subsidiary portion, it is the strongest across all the other ERPs. If you want to do consolidations, it works a lot better than other tools.""It offers reporting flexibilities that were previously unavailable to us.""I have found there to be many features, such as manufacturing, accounting, financials, inventory, and purchasing.""I like the ease of setup and customization of forms.""Every year, they release a new version."

Cons
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details.""From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc.""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 user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""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 finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."

More Infor LN Cons →

"As with any system offering large volumes of data, there are limitations on processing large volumes of data in custom ways.""I would like to see improved customization options in NetSuite ERP, possibly through generative modules, to enhance flexibility and efficiency.""The solution's initial setup process was complex.""In terms of the main improvement to NetSuite is the talent itself. It's grown so fast and there are about 25,000 companies running on it, and it's a relatively newer system compared to other competitors. It's growing so fast that the talent base in the partner organization (there's about 200 of them), is pretty thin.""The solution could be more stable.""In NetSuite ERP, they should focus on offering better customization options.""There is a lot of room for improvement. Multiple manufacturing features need to be updated on NetSuite. More functionalities need to be added. I think there are a lot of functionalities coming out for warehouse management systems and manufacturing automation via advanced manufacturing functionalities. I think they need to improve a little more on those aspects and make it easier on the scheduling aspect.""If you do go through an implementor, you need to be careful that they are actual implementors and not just resellers."

  • "I would advise that you first meet with and scope out your project with a NetSuite VAR (Value Added Reseller)."
  • "When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount."
  • "It is completely on a subscription basis. We pay yearly and, and you do not have to do anything on a monthly basis. Prices depend on the organization's scale and all those things, but they are doing a good job with the pricing."
  • "There is an annual license required to use this solution."
  • "The price of the solution is quite high."
  • "NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user."
  • "Pricing for NetSuite ERP is okay, but it could be better. The licensing model for NetSuite ERP is based on the number of modules and users. The standard license covers up to twenty-five users. If you have more than twenty-five users, you'll have to buy the premium license, which would double the price. For one module with five user licenses, the cost is between $40,000 to $50,000."
  • "It's very competitively priced due to it being a subscription model. So, clients are quite happy with the pricing. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
