Cons
"When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU.""While Infor LN incorporates the latest business processes and functions, there is always room for improvement as the business grows. In the new normal, it could stand to incorporate quite a few automation processes like the RPA and utilize machine learning in the Internet of Things.""The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details.""Only people who undergo training from the companies can learn about Infor products.""The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it.""It's not that intuitive.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved."

More Infor LN Cons →

"UI is not very presentable for a cloud solution.""I would like to see an improved approach to pulling data with VDI.""Oracle can make the system more stable which includes some changes as some of the use cases were not available in Oracle's systems and the element’s value needed to be defined.""Oracle ERP Cloud needs to be more mature, especially in terms of some advanced modules, such as manufacturing, supply chain planning, and production.""I would like to improve the tool’s budgeting and reporting. I know that Oracle is working on the tool’s analytics part so I expect the analytical feature in its future releases.""Localization of functionality for Europe and Latin American countries legal and fiscal requirements, reporting, and integration with tax authorities.""One disadvantage is that we don't have immediate access to evaluate or fix data that is not in the app until we own the database.""Improve support services in the new features roadmap."

    Why Customers Choose Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP:

  • Predict, detect, and act on new situations

    No one likes big deltas between forecasts and actuals. Most models though are too limited, relying on sample datasets or just gut feel. Oracle Cloud ERP introduces machine-learning to predictive planning and forecasting so you can utilize broader datasets, reveal hidden bias, uncover significant deviations, and speed your overall response time.

  • Automate and eliminate your manual business processes

    Spend less time compiling data and more time understanding what it tells you. Whether preparing your narrative for the street or assessing potential M&A activity, Oracle Cloud ERP gives your team more time for strategic work by automating the most time-consuming, mundane business processes. With AI, up to 96% of transactions can be automated.

  • Simplify and speed everyday work

    Oracle’s AI-powered digital assistant simplifies and speeds common tasks, allowing you to ask simple questions like “what’s the status of my open purchase requisitions?” and “what reconciliations are due today?” Personalized tasks like invoices or over-budget notifications are delivered to you proactively, so approvals move faster too.

  • Launch new business models, faster

    Staying ahead of customer trends and emerging competitors gets harder every day. With Oracle cloud ERP, it's easier to identify and launch new business models—and monitor results in real time so you can constantly refine your approach. Paired with machine learning insights like customer churn, you'll predict and avoid problems before they can do harm.
