We performed a comparison between Infor LN and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"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."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"It is really fast. It is also very stable."
"SAP S4HANA version 1909 is stable. We have not gone live with 2020 yet."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"One of the things I like about it is its well-integrated and secure nature."
"The scalability is excellent, especially on cloud deployment models."
"A user-friendly UI with good documentation."
"SAP S4HANA has good performance and has allowed us to combine our systems."
"S/4HANA is so much faster today than it was before. High performance is one of the best features, but the backbone of S/4HANA is its integration capabilities. They've also shifted to a focus on user experience."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"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."
"Documentation could be improved."
"We would like to see more DevOps capabilities in the future."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"I have found the solution to be stable but it could improve."
"Planned Order List needs a change of screen."
"The procure-to-pay solution in the Contract Management angle could be better. If you look at it on Ariba, the Contract Management Life Cycle for Ariba is more robust. You can create documentation, SLAs, and NDAs. Apart from the procurement aspect of the contract, you have the legal side, but Ariba cannot do that. From what I've seen, the features of the procure-to-pay model in S/4HANA and their Contract Life Cycle Management side primarily focus on the procurement side. I believe it would be good if this solution could handle a part of the legal side. They will incorporate Extended Warehouse Management and Transportation Management into the S/4HANA cloud. Most big companies that use a solution like S/4HANA have a legal department within the organization. Suppose they can incorporate that to be in S/4HANA suites; I think it'll be good. It will be just like what we have with Transportation Management and Extended Warehouse Management. The user interface could be better. They have too much information on the interface, and our customers still keep complaining that it looks complex. Even though many things have changed, they still complain that the interface or the screen they see is a bit complex. It's only when they see the Fiori interface that their mind becomes a bit calm."
"Their yearly licensing is expensive. Improvements are needed on the user experience level and digital work."
"The theory-side of the solution needs to be improved."
