"It's pretty easy to set up.""If I put myself in the customer's shoes, it's easier to use. Reporting would be a very valuable feature."

Cons
"While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows. In the new normal, it could stand to incorporate quite a few automation processes like the RPA and utilize machine learning in the Internet of Things.""The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement.""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.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication.""Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention.""When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."

"The licensing of the solution should be adjusted. The policies aren't ideal. They should make it easier to understand. Right now, it's too confusing.""An area of improvement could be around automation and predictability."
