Advanced forecasting and analysis capabilities

In terms of improvements, we can add new features that customers are demanding, such as service and quality improvements. For instance, we could have a model to predict the expected quality, which can be imported and developed as a new feature. We can improve quality features, and there is room for enhancement. Additionally, we can also improve service-related features by adding new functionalities. Each department has its workflow. But there is a hierarchy for pricing, and managers should be approached in such cases. So, there can be a more stabilized way of having a single point of contact to approach at any time. It is already there, but some more enhancements would be good. Regarding integration, specific third-party tools are not accepted, for example, on the old version of IBM or Oracle. Some more workloads need to be done to integrate those tools, and we can have some enhancements on integration. ION is a very good tool, and we use web services already. The old system of using RESTful APIs has been eradicated, and the super approval trial is good. So, this tool is a refined way of working with services where it integrates any third-party tool. But, some of the older versions may need additional adjustments to integrate properly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ease of workflow configuration and customisation development."

"I love that Aras has a utility or tool that you can use online to extend Aras."

"Workflow management and collaboration tools enhance operations and facilitate seamless interaction among departments."

"The product's most valuable feature is production planning. It is one of the core features."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"Infor CloudSuite Industrial is easy to setup. The built-in solution is already there, so we can start implementing it right away when we install it in an organization. After going through different test executions and workshops, any missing features can be added using Infor extension tables and other products. It will take at least eight to nine months to go live."

"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."

"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."

"Some valuable features include improved transparency in sales processes, which has been vital for our operations."

"It is a complete wave management system to increase processing efficiency."

Cons

"Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems."

"Better Manufacturing BOM management would be valuable."

"Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement."

"The solution's support service could be better."

"It takes time to properly learn what the product can do."

"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."

"Planning needs to be improved. That is, industry-specific planning details need to be added and refined."

"Infor needs to work on its documentation. For example, if I need to create a business object deployment from LVN to element, the instructions for this are insufficient. Many specific use cases aren't covered in the manual."

"For the quality department, there is a module called quality, and I feel it has to be a little bit simplified."

"The platform's distribution features need enhancement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I feel it is not very cheap, very economical but also not very expensive."

"It is a cost-effective solution."

"The pricing is not built on a standard model."

"As for pricing, I secured a favorable deal at around $80,000 yearly for five years, but it was a one-time opportunity."

"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"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."

"The platform's pricing depends on the specific number of users."

"For on-premise installations, the licensing is yearly."
