"The initial setup is easy.""LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants.""The project module is the best that I've ever seen, and more than that, it's the company's flexibility to change. It means that in our company, Infor LN has the capability to support many kinds of industries.""The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies.""The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN.""Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing.""It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects.""Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex.

Cons
"The tool should provide a better user interface.""Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people.""I would like to see a better reporting tool.""Right now, it doesn't really have a good cloud story.""In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing.""A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10.""There are some glitches in Epicor ERP.""There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."

"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.""The solution’s performance could be improved.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU.""It's not that intuitive.""The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it.""One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication.""Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem."
