We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants.""The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations.""The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN.""The best feature of this solution, is that it provides businesses with a way to see information from across different process streams, in one place via dashboards.""Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects.""Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good.""It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects.""Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."

"The initial setup is not complex. The deployment process was relatively straightforward.""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."

Cons
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it.""The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved.""Infor LN has customer support in India, but service could be improved. So, basically, they prioritize agreements, and the number of tickets closed within a certain timeframe, not necessarily the quality or resolution of the tickets themselves. They just open and close them, sometimes without even understanding the issue. That's the biggest problem.""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.""Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention.""The user interface needs to be improved."

More Infor LN Cons →

"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company.""The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported.""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."

  • More Infor LN Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
  • "The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
