We performed a comparison between Infor CloudSuite Industrial and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"The finance solution and procurement functionalities are good."
"The solution is flexible, has a lot of functionality, and has the ability to deliver more security than other comparable solutions."
"The in-memory processing capability is most valuable."
"It seamlessly integrates with all the SAP Business Suite products such as IoT, AI, Analytics and all other SaaS solutions. The product is very robust and comprehensive."
"I have found the user interface very modern and it has simplified many user jobs, such as the embedded logistics. They have introduced central finance which has been a benefit."
"This tool helps us to manage business in a faster and smarter way."
"S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."
"From a technology standpoint, the theory and analytics are fascinating."
"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."
"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"This product would be improved by adding more reports."
"Their yearly licensing is expensive. Improvements are needed on the user experience level and digital work."
"The difficulty level of the initial setup depends on the person's skills. If you know the basic knowledge of the database, then it will be easy, otherwise, it will be very difficult."
"The theory-side of the solution needs to be improved."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, it would be beneficial to have more practical intelligence in the system, such as protective maintenance, or artificial intelligence."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
"It is simple to implement SAP S4HANA. If you are already in this type of environment, then the transition is not very complex. However, if you do not then it can be difficult."
