We performed a comparison between Infor LN and SAP S/4HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"LN is definitely a stable product. It's number one on Gartner's four quadrants."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"Most of them who use Infor LN have add-ons connected to ERP. It's either a supplier exchange, or they've got sales problems that are integrated with it."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"It's fast, predicts well, and is basically the best tool in the market for the automotive industry and network planning projects."
"The best thing about Infor LN is that you can use it for inter-company business and for international businesses, especially by mid-sized and big companies."
"In terms of its most valuable feature, I would say the finance module."
"The most valuable feature of SAP S/4HANA is the innovational process. We are able to receive more efficiency or accuracy than previous versions."
"The most valuable feature is the inbuilt standards included in SAP that customers can adopt easily. Also offers to customize it based on the specific requirements."
"The processes have been reduced from almost 10 steps to four or five steps. It's really been simplified."
"The most valuable feature is that HANA loads from memory, which means it loads very quickly."
"The solution's new UI called Fiori is user friendly."
"The Fiori design is a valuable feature."
"I have been using SAP for more than 13 years and the new SAP S4HANA was not only a simple upgrade, they have made a lot of improvements. They have simplified a lot of the functions, the all-new interface gives users a better experience. The database itself is quite efficient in nature and it provides effective data queries. It is a good upgrade from the previous version of SAP R/3."
"In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement."
"It's not that intuitive."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"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."
"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 user interface needs to be improved."
"The training for Infor LN is not straightforward, so a non-specialist will need training before using it."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"I'm not a big fan of SAP S/4HANA because it needs a lot of hardware. It is really fast, but it needs a lot of hardware. The hardware for S/4HANA is too expensive."
"We found that the implementing partners themselves are struggling with S4HANA's features. It's not an exact translation of the older ECC, so SAP has taken a new route to do things with S4HANA. Maybe it's a good product, but the implementing partners also like to have an in-depth understanding of the full feature set the product offers."
"The integration could be made a little simpler in terms of design and implementation."
"S/4HANA could be improved with better integration. At the moment, a main issue I see is that there's so much growth in the functionality, complementary modules, and cloud solutions which were acquired by SAP and which extend the functionality of the SAP ERP suite. It looks to me that they tend to acquire more and more functionality from acquisitions, but they don't invest enough effort into making them integrated with S/4HANA or ERP. I would say that the functionality is great, but integration is something which still needs more attention. Instead of focusing on acquisitions, they should invest, integrate, and better the existing portfolio of products in SAP. It would help us, as implementors, to have a more complex or compact solution."
"Thi solution can improve the Bill of Materials (BOM) and production planning."
"SAP S/4HANA could improve by making the interface easier to use."
"I have found the solution to be stable but it could improve."
"The initial setup could be better. They can make the process a little easier. The functions that we require will be available in the next release. We specifically need a new model, and I think we have some versions to implement. I already read on the SAP website that some functionalities we are waiting for are available in this new version."
