"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments.""It is a scalable solution.""Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live.""It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency.""From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."

For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."

  • "The pricing is not built on a standard model."
  • "I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
  • "As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
