Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there.""Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""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.""We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."

More Infor CloudSuite Pros →

"The new version of this solution is very scalable.""A solid and mature product.""It's a mature product.""Its user interface is impressive.""It is a very stable ERP solution. It is also supported on Oracle Cloud and provides extensive features.""PeopleSoft is easy to understand, where any end user that is logged in can easily navigate through the menus.""The most valuable feature is ERP application information.""I use the reporting feature occasionally to check for potential improvements in timesheets. We have integrated it with Power BI."

Cons
"They could include marketing automation for the product.""The solution's support service could be better.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""It takes time to properly learn what the product can do.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."

More Infor CloudSuite Cons →

"The product was too complicated when it came to navigating through multiple places and the search filters weren't great.""The whole systematic flow of any query raised to HR should be improved.""The product is not intuitive, and finding the right candidate can be arduous.""It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development.""The Time and Labor module is not that flexible.""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.""On the other hand, the more recent push for standardization precludes customized approaches to certain industry requirements.""It would be helpful for the end-user if the reports were customized. They would be able to select the fields while generating their reports."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."

    PeopleSoft is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has a lot of functionality and is customizable.

    "PeopleSoft is a good core system. It has a lot of functionality. "They frequently update the solution and recently they have added some good enhancement features for higher education. We just switched to the new fluid interface and that is working very well for us. It is very good," says another reviewer who is an HR/Pay Systems Administrator/Director at a university.
