Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."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."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"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."
"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."
"When correctly configured, this is a very stable solution. We have customers running their process automation manufacturing based off of this solution."
"ERP is a valuable feature of this product."
"The integration of the various modules is definitely the most valuable feature for us. Our clients being business-minded, which involves customers and suppliers."
"On-Time Payroll and its features are user-friendly."
"It can easily be developed into an application."
"Technical support is good."
"Payroll and online benefits enrollment"
"The procure-to-pay is core to our business and relevant to us."
"The most valuable feature of Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management is the business intelligence module. Additionally, report consolidation, cloud access, and analysis are useful."
"The solution is parameterized so it naturally has the ability to parameterize, configure, and adapt to various organizational procedures."
"The accounting part and the procurement part are most valuable. It is a very good system with workflows and notifications."
"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."
"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."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"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."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"If you get away from the financials core of the product, it is not so good at handling peripherals."
"Oracle E-Business Suite is a bit outdated because it's been developed more than ten years ago, and this is an area for improvement. My team is still getting used to the solution, so there could still be some features that have not been enabled or features my team isn't aware of yet. There have been issues with the Treasury module of Oracle E-Business Suite, so this is another area for improvement. My company hasn't decided yet on whether to implement the Treasury module or just go with another solution. Another room for improvement in Oracle E-Business Suite is the design, as it needs to be optimized based on usage patterns. What I'd like added in the next release of Oracle E-Business Suite is the time attribute. The solution still has dashboards being rolled out, so the time attribute could already be there or is still in the process of implementation. I also didn't find much use for the Projects module based on my company's requirements. The integration of Oracle E-Business Suite with the rest of the Oracle tools isn't very tight as well, but it could be because of customizations here in India, where the integrations work seamlessly everywhere, except in India. You'll find gaps because of customizations in India which are very, very irritating. For example, if a procurement is moving in the system then all the data has to move from one module to the other, but in the Oracle E-Business Suite Procurement module, you'll notice breaks or gaps that require you to manually transfer that data, so I'd like this improved in the next release of the solution."
"I would like an end-to-end in terms of processes. There are different modules, however, there's not that end-to-end that we are looking for in terms of process automation."
"There are some cycles in HR that are not straightforward."
"Improvements could be made in mobility for mobile applications or tablets."
"The system has bugs, is not user friendly, and requires too much customization."
"One issue with the product is because it build on a lot of older technologies, there is a substantial technical debt in the system."
"Needs more real-time visualizations, in terms of smarter dashboards and reporting competing with the speed of HANA."
"Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item."
"Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3."
"The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."
"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company."
