"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."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"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."
"SAP Business One has good reports and is simple to customize and use."
"It is quite simple, and it is suitable for medium and small businesses."
"Add-ons that can be implemented are most valuable."
"The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) feature of SAP Business One has been most beneficial for our reporting needs."

"The ability to link documents to accounts, partners and events via the Golden/Yellow Arrow feature is very useful."

"The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."
"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."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products."
"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."
"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."
"The initial implementation is not straightforward. It took approximately three months to complete. The process could be easier."
"SAP Business One could improve project management, quality assurance, material management, forecasting, full costing, and quality control. Many modules are missing in this solution."
"It is limiting in terms of the in-between communication for manufacturing. We are suffering from a lot of issues in production. We are now considering S/4HANA, and we are also looking for some customized tools to integrate with SAP Business One."
"You get support through the vendor, not SAP directly. If your vendor is good, you get good support. If it is not a good vendor, the support is very bad."
"Security could be improved."
"The extension of dashboards into mobiles is something which SAP Business One has to improve on."
"There are improvements needed. However, they provide improvements over time."
"In the next release, I would like to see the inclusion of cloud features."
