Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features.""Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP.""It is a scalable solution.""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.""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.""Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations.""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.""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."

Cons
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement.""The platform's distribution features need enhancement.""Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined.""Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution.""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.""The solution's support service could be better.""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.""Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."

"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved.""It's based on AS/400 or Power i, a robust technology and platform. However, it is harder to manage admin most of the time.""It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting.""Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
  • "It is a cost-effective solution."
  • "The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
  • "As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
