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.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement.""The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved.""Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature.""The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
