Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Infor's environment—ION and Infor OS—is better than SAP's. The load time is shorter and Infor performs much better than SAP."
"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."
"The solution is particularly effective for ERP. The automation of emails is a valuable feature for me. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable. Infor CloudSuite Industrial is better for its development aspect. It allows us to customize and implement changes more efficiently. The initial setup was straightforward. I recommend the solution."
"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."
"It is a scalable solution."
"From a product perspective, it's more lenient and suitable for using features in finance, such as reconciling our payments, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc."
"We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production."
"The customization capabilities of CloudSuite Industrial are also there."
"It allows us to filter the data, create graphs, and get detailed reports."
"It is easily configurable and has a good developer society online, available for any issues from the backend."
"Within our organization, we're not finding really any major issues with scalability and things of that nature."
"It gave us professionalized, faster incident turn around times. Improved quality of information shared with our customers. Over time we build an extensive knowledge base that assists in both self-service as in services provided by the servicedesk when handling incidents."
"ServiceNow has also enabled our Management Consulting business to provide Digital Transformation services for our clients the world over, as we use the platform as an accelerator for doing IT Target Operating Model transformations."
"Primarily, we use it for incident management and change across the landscape. It is the virtual repository for our incident management processes. It gives us visibility about what's happening from the change management perspective across our CABs, including our enterprise CABs."
"ServiceNow is one of the few easiest platforms you can integrate with products like Ansible to automate your workflows."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
 

Cons

"There should be better clarity and agreement on all interfaces and requirements before signing a contract. This would avoid unexpected costs and complications later on."
"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."
"They could include marketing automation for the product."
"The solution's support service could be better."
"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."
"Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle."
"Currently, there are some challenges with handling large reports, possibly due to setup limits or issues with the solution."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. For us, it's the pricing aspect. Since we're South African, it's difficult when it's a dollar-based product."
"When it comes to reference fields, there are some limitations where you aren't able to use them, like in relationship queries. In Remedy, when you click a menu, you get options directly, whereas here, if you use a reference field, it points you to a different form. So the UI experience totally changes for the end user."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and given a better design."
"Their cloud management is also not that great compared to other products."
"There are Virtual Task Boards in the tool in the latest releases. There are many of them in the Scaled Agile Framework. There is some room there for improvement. It's really quite promising but, at the same time, it could be improved and I believe it will be improved soon."
"I would like to see Advanced Intelligent Automation."
"The ability to embed help information onto the screens."
"I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is not built on a standard model."
"I'm working for a German company, but I'm located in Portugal. In the German market, Infor's price isn't an issue for clients, but Infor is losing market share every year to SAP in Portugal. Portuguese clients find SAP more affordable. Infor needs to work on this."
"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."
"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"The licenses are expensive."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"It is an expensive platform."
"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
