Quotes From Members
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.""The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there.""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.""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.""Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments.""It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency.""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's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."

"The stability and performance are good.""This is a robust solution with a lot of control measures.""I like SAP's premade workflows for various areas, such as supply chain, procurement, or finance.""Continuing to use it enabled continuity of business.""The solution has far more features, processes, and functionalities than we previously had.""ERP can help manage all enterprise resources. It brings them together and provides some analytical data to inform management decisions.""Control and governance are the best features.""SAP ERP offers a wide range of functional modules, including payroll, HR, financials, and others."

Cons
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual.""They could include marketing automation for the product.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""The solution's support service could be better.""It takes time to properly learn what the product can do.""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."

More Infor CloudSuite Cons →

"It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities.""In previous generations, SAP was stable and the roadmap was very predictable, but currently it's very difficult.""The only feature that is not available in our current version is web access.""It was not designed to service all industries.""It is on the expensive side.""In general, a user should attend training before they can use this platform. There's definitely a learning curve. As a new user or employee, there may be some difficulty with onboarding.""More integrations and built-in integrations with other environments and products are needed.""ERP could use better integration with other systems."

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."

  • "This is a costly product."
  • "There are licensing costs."

  • "The licensing costs are slightly on the higher side. They need to make it more competitive."
  • "SAP is a bit on the costly side, but they also provide support and other things. We are paying for licenses and the use of the cloud."
  • "SAP ERP is expensive."
  • "When you have a solution that is stable, reliable, and has a high performance as this solution, the price is going to be expensive. However, when you evaluate the service you are paying for the cost is quite reasonable for this solution."
