We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The project module is the best that I've ever seen, and more than that, it's the company's flexibility to change. It means that in our company, Infor LN has the capability to support many kinds of industries.""The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies.""I would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly.""Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing.""We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product.""It's not too hard to handle the initial setup.""Most of them who use Infor LN have add-ons connected to ERP. It's either a supplier exchange, or they've got sales problems that are integrated with it.""I like the tool’s multisite functionality."

"The solution serves its purpose and does what we need it to do.""It is the most stable solution that I've ever worked with."

More QAD Cloud ERP Pros →

Cons
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details.""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.""From a technical perspective, LN needs to work on customization and integration. It's fairly expensive for many clients to migrate from a customized private solution to the cloud. Infor needs to improve the cloud solution to make the migration from the on-prem customized solution faster and smoother. Otherwise, many clients will find it difficult or expensive to do.""From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc.""The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."

More Infor LN Cons →

"The product lacks a lot of features and technology.""Just implementing an ERP system takes a lot of time."
