More Infor VISUAL Pros →

"The initial setup was straightforward.""The system can be integrated with other SAP functionalities - such as finance, production, sales, marketing, HR, et cetera, and can also be customized to become a model that's specifically designed for my business. That's the solution's most valuable aspect.""It is easier to migrate to SAP ERP from a legacy system. We have different products for data services, and it is easier to migrate to SAP ERP as compared to other solutions. Stability is one of the main features of SAP. What makes SAP ERP better than others is that SAP has taken into consideration the business processes of different industries, such as manufacturing. They have done the research, and they know what are the best practices. They have already implemented these best practices in SAP ERP, which are readily available for a client. Clients can also customize it based on their individual needs.""The best thing that SAP ERP has is the extensive coverage of processes for every field and business unit such as procurement, inventory, financials, asset management, plant maintenance, and production. We can cover up to 99.9% processes of our organization, which is the best thing about this solution. It also has a very good capability to integrate with other applications. The security and authorization level of SAP ERP is very high. No other solution can match this level.""It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP.""The solution is quite scalable.""The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the integration. It can be seamlessly integrated across the board.""The features are very useful for finance."

Cons
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."

More Infor VISUAL Cons →

"The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment.""Technical support could be better.""It's very difficult to find people who are well versed in it.""License fees are too high.""The speed to build and the speed to deliver could be better.""SAP ERP's initial setup phase needs to be simplified.""Could be more user friendly.""When evaluating the current version I am using now, the SAP GUI is old-style and needs to be replaced with something more modern and easy to use. However, the SAP GUI is very optimized for connection networks and is extremely good. Many people would like to have a WebGUI or something else to have access in a different way. Additionally, there could be some drag and drop functionality added because these features are normally in any website that this solution does not have."
