"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."

"In terms of its most valuable feature, I would say the finance module."
"The scalability has been good."
"It is the most stable solution provided by SAP and can be used on all levels."
"SAP S4HANA provides a solution towards a green industry. They keep making a different version of the solution to meet the needs of different industries, such as automotive and utilities."
"S4HANA is a completely integrated solution. It's an end-to-end ERP system with strong manufacturing and financial integration, which is not common among ERPs. And it's a solution that's driven by industry best practices."
"One of the most valuable features, which we used the most, was the FI module, for finance. It involved controlling, account receivables, account payables, and complete financial steering."
"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."
"The solution can scale well."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time."
"It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."
"Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."
"Lacks ability to easily mass upload which has become a necessity for industry."
"SAP S4HANA is not suitable for all-size companies. If you have a small company there are better fit solutions for your needs."
"S/4HANA could be improved with better integration. At the moment, a main issue I see is that there's so much growth in the functionality, complementary modules, and cloud solutions which were acquired by SAP and which extend the functionality of the SAP ERP suite. It looks to me that they tend to acquire more and more functionality from acquisitions, but they don't invest enough effort into making them integrated with S/4HANA or ERP. I would say that the functionality is great, but integration is something which still needs more attention. Instead of focusing on acquisitions, they should invest, integrate, and better the existing portfolio of products in SAP. It would help us, as implementors, to have a more complex or compact solution."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation."
"I would like to see the AI included to help from a data standpoint."
"In a feature release, they could improve by adding budgetary features."
"The two things that need to be improved are price and customization."
