Cons
"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.""Infor's support side is not that good, and they seem to be focusing on other products above LX.""It lacks in finance and administration, especially related to Italian accounting."

More Infor LX Cons →

"It is not suitable for corporate or manufacturing companies. For example, it's challenging to use it for a manufacturing company.""Sage Business Cloud Enterprise Management could improve the search functionality. For example, if I was to search for a transaction from last year it would be difficult to accomplish. I have to scroll through to find what I am looking for. The approach should be more similar to Quickbooks where when you search for something it takes you directly to the searched item.""Its implementation process is kind of complicated. If the person implementing it doesn't know what he is doing, the system can have many issues. Sage X3 is just an accounting system. As compared to Oracle E-Business Suite, it does not cover a lot of functionality. It doesn't have the payroll, lease management, and HR modules. Oracle E-Business Suite is better than Sage X3.""The solution does not have a solid, out-of-the-box API architecture that is supported."

  • More Infor LX Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very cheap. There are no additional charges, but the problem is that you have to acquire an additional supporting system such as a budgeting system. You will have to implement the integration and maintain two systems. So, you need to pay for the license of that budgeting system and this one. You also need to pay the license for the payroll and integration. There are all these integrations that you have to pay for."
  • "The solution delivers the same capabilities of SAP or Oracle at about 30% to 40% of the cost."
  • "The price of this solution is expensive. However, it depends on the number of branches used. The price can be upwards of $40,000 annually."
  • "The cost is not expensive."
