Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product.""I like the tool’s multisite functionality.""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.""It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects.""The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations.""Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good.""It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management.""The initial setup is easy."

Cons
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it.""The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved.""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.""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.""It's not that intuitive.""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.""The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it.""When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
