Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Microsoft, Oracle and others in ERP."Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"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."
"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable 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 most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
"MDG provides a central location for governance of the creation/updating processes of master data. It allows you to change several fields in the same object. For example, we can change a field on the purchasing view and change another field on an accounting view to the same material at the same time."
"SAP ERP is one of the most well-integrated solutions with all of the applications in my company, making it one of the most advantageous traits of the product."
"ERP can help manage all enterprise resources. It brings them together and provides some analytical data to inform management decisions."
"It is a comprehensive and robust solution. It can provide lots of functional features."
"Continuing to use it enabled continuity of business."
"The solution provides good production planning."
"I like the solution's ability to close plans and resource requirements in deals."
"The solution provides a high level of integration."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
"The initial setup of SAP ERP is complex and it took a lot of time."
"It is a little difficult to use."
"The system is very big. It is not exactly user-friendly, due to the fact that it's so massive and complex."
"There will always be something within our business that it won't fit."
"The UI could use improvement."
"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."
"The solution is not ready for the current e-commerce environment."
"I would like to see the customization of the reports become easier to work with instead of having technical support have to assist us."
