We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""It is a scalable solution.""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.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments.""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 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.""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 have been happy with the command line interface of SAP Business One.""I like that it's stable.""The documentation part and the user manuals provided by SAP are quite comprehensive.""The most valuable feature of Business One depends on the industry. Generally speaking, Business One works best in automotive industry use cases.""It's simple to use and very direct.""What's most helpful to customers who use SAP Business One is that the solution is fully integrated and easy to use. It's very easy to digest and has many features for small to medium companies.""The product seems to be quite stable.""The solution has all the basic features that are required for us."

Cons
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""It takes time to properly learn what the product can do.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle.""There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on.""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.""They could include marketing automation for the product.""The solution's support service could be better."

"There are a lot of good improvements coming out in every version. They release a new version every quarter, with all new up-and-coming things on each one. However, it might be lacking specifications for the specific verticals. However, SAP Business One is a generic tool. It's very widely used, and I understand why it's not into each vertical. There are solution partners available out there to give it those extra areas of what it needs, but this is depending on what kind of business you run.""More support can be provided on the web client end.""Lacks an advanced HR model with payroll.""Business One would be improved with a customization option.""Our customers often request concurrent licensing, which is not available with SAP Business One. Adding this option would be beneficial.""In the next release, I would like to see the inclusion of cloud features.""We don't have the functionality of the supply chain and mobile applications.""I'd like to see the solution become more user-friendly."

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."
  • "The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
  • "For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."

  • "Business One is reasonable considering the functionality."
  • "In terms of price, it's fair, but the problem is with AMC."
  • "Its price is reasonable. People are able to spend that much."
  • "Its licensing model is good. There is a one-off payment for the software license, and after that, you only need to pay the annual maintenance fee. Compared to other cloud-based systems, this cost model is quite reasonable for SMEs."
  • "We pay annually. It is around 800 a month."
  • "We feel that the licensing fees are a bit on the higher side."
  • "We compared the Microsoft solution with Oracle NetSuite, as they have a price decrease. It is, however, not that much cheaper, and the price is comparable to SAP."
  • "Its price is reasonable. We have about 200 licenses. We have to pay every year for the license."
