The Spanish localization is also very good.""We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."

Cons
"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.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement.""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.""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 user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more.""One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication.""The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."

More Infor LN Cons →

"The learning and development side of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration.""The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade.""Global payroll could be easier to use.""An area for improvement would be that it's quite difficult to learn how to use this product, and the documentation provided isn't helpful in giving you practical advice.""Stability is an area where the solution lacks and needs to be improved.""PeopleSoft lacks integration capabilities.""On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements."
