"Infor LX's most valuable feature is that it's very interactive."
"I've been using it since December 2009, and it has been absolutely stable till now."
"The most valuable features are the exit points that enable integration with external software."
"One of the things I love about Infor LX is that everything is integrated."
"It's enhanced by a subscription billing add-on, to efficiently automate billing and invoicing, particularly due to our substantial customer database."
"It is strong in integration."
"It is a tried and tested ERP system which if used correctly, is definitely a very good program for managing all aspects of a business from customer sales, and receivables management, to payable management and finance reporting. So, it's super critical for any mid-sized company."
"You can track everything from beginning to end quite easily."
"The most valuable feature is financial control. The accounting aspect allows us to manage our clients and payments."
"We have gained the capability to control and address various issues within the financial module effectively."
"The solution is easy to use and not complicated. Also, it is easy to get trained on. Also, there is good information available on the web. The GP community is quite broad and there are many blogs online."
"The fixed assets, payroll, the data module, and user-friendliness are most valuable."
"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."
"The connectors, performance, and knowledgebase availability can be improved."
"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."
"Initially, we encountered challenges, particularly with users transitioning from their previous applications."
"The purchase order and processing aspects of the solution should be improved."
"The biggest problem with GP is that it's not cloud based and it doesn't lend itself to subscription licensing. But Microsoft wants everything in the cloud and licensed on a subscription basis.Even tThough GP can be deployed on a cloud server, but basically, it's a Windows based product. It uses the older model and companies purchase the program and pay a 16-18 sixteen- eighteen percent annual renewal fee but Microsoft wants everybody to pay monthly or annual renewal fees on a subscription basis."
"As technology changes, I would say probably in the area of chart up account needs improvement because chart up account is a string. So if they make it more flexible."
"As for room for improvement, they have different modules, project and analytical accounting, but it will be good to have that kind of part in the standard package. To have that additional reporting functionality where you can add an attribute or something, which you can report again. So you can analyze the cost by not just natural accounts but also by a project, without having to go through another module edit on top and then the other module edit on top. The more modules you add, sometimes it doesn't work that well. Additionally, it would be easier to have the solution on the cloud. That's our consideration. We are trying to move all our systems to the cloud, and GP is one of them that we are going to move in the next couple of years. I would rate the solution seven or seven point five out of ten."
"What could be improved is the functionality of Dynamics GP because it requires a lot of development by the programmers and the company in order to integrate into a solution."
"This is now a legacy product, so they're phasing it out over time."
"There should also be extra redundancy when posting to modules. We use different sets of books such as CashBook and CheckBooks therefore if I select the wrong one the solution allows the transaction to just pass without warning."
