Find out in this report how the two ERP solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have definitely seen a return on our investment with the product."
"It has strong sales, purchase, warehousing, and logistics order management."
"It's not too hard to handle the initial setup."
"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."
"Our clients appreciate the financial part of the solution, which is usually very complex. The Spanish localization is also very good."
"Material planning and predictive planning are both essential aspects."
"The most valuable features are manufacturing, and manufacturing costing modules. These are all powerful features of Infor LN."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle products with up to 2,500 components, making it valuable for streamlining complex business operations."
"S/4HANA falls under a single terminal. We can easily access the data, and the performance is good."
"I find the Production Planning Cockpit (PPC) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) most valuable modules."
"It's reliable and the performance is good."
"A user-friendly UI with good documentation."
"S4HANA is very scalable - we use it across seven or eight factories, and everything is running fine."
"We have access to all types of reports in a single solution."
"I have found SAP S4HANA to be scalable."
"SAP S4HANA version 1909 is stable. We have not gone live with 2020 yet."
"One area that could be improved in Omada Access Points is team communication."
"It's not that intuitive."
"The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users."
"When you have a bug in the system, you get some kind of alert. They should explain those alerts more."
"The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
"I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature."
"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."
"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."
"Documentation could be improved."
"There are some problems with the support provided for the solution, so it is not quite easy. It takes some time for them to offer us support."
"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."
"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."
"So, there is room for improvement in pricing. HANA is not a simple product; it's quite complex by design."
"Starting out on the solution can be a bit complex and difficult."
"You will not see convenient user experiences with SAP S4HANA's website or application."
"A virtual machine could exist to make everything available on a single deployment."
