Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 would say that it is typically used by large-scale manufacturing industries, especially in discrete manufacturing, and it has proven to work brilliantly."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Infor LN has basically the same structure as CloudSuite Industrial, but LN has more advanced planning tools for manufacturing."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The best feature of this solution is it comes as a complete bundle. The solution has effective project, document, and application management. Additionally, the collaboration is fantastic, it is well integrated, and can be customized."
"We're able to get all our processes flowing together. We're able to make all of our business processes talk to each other."
"The solution can scale well."
"One of the most valuable features is the in-memory database."
"The in-memory processing capability is most valuable."
"It's reliable and the performance is good."
"SAP S/4HANA is the preferred database because of its scalability, faster accessibility, compatibility, and other well-suited features for large data sets."
"The most valuable feature is the inbuilt standards included in SAP that customers can adopt easily. Also offers to customize it based on the specific requirements."
"The key modules that I find most valuable are material management (MM), financial accounting and controlling (FICO), and human resources (HR)."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Regarding areas for improvement within the solution, I would say that the solution's asset management and quality management need attention."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"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 tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The product's use of resources could be improved, as it is quite intensive at the moment."
"The migration to SAP S/4HANA is hard."
"We found that the implementing partners themselves are struggling with S4HANA's features. It's not an exact translation of the older ECC, so SAP has taken a new route to do things with S4HANA. Maybe it's a good product, but the implementing partners also like to have an in-depth understanding of the full feature set the product offers."
"Items that impact the TCO should be improved because the solution is very complex to integrate and keep running."
"I'm not a big fan of SAP S/4HANA because it needs a lot of hardware. It is really fast, but it needs a lot of hardware. The hardware for S/4HANA is too expensive."
"Starting out on the solution can be a bit complex and difficult."
"Maybe its user interface and reporting can be improved across the board, but it is manageable."
"While the solution contemplates a competitively priced model, its pricing could be cheaper."
